and by the green color of the bay and the choice of the wheels it seems like your a fan of aarons eg of teamrice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ywzZFIq1Pc SIIICK CAR

its a bummer cause i was excited to see what you were gonna bring to the table as far as genuine parts this time. but it seems like you are sticking to your roots cause you have yet to show one. cool build none the less, good luck but FAIL on parts.

jesus jon its not the end of the world because i dont spend 500 on a lip and 1500 on wheels. its because i rather buy a new quad then blow my $ on my car. plus i got bills and rent to pay

i'm gonna have to agree with jude on this one...not everyone has the money to spend 2k on wheels...yeah i love cars and my car and all but there are more important things that come before my car....

....but i'm also gonna have to agree with .saint when he says that your going for the look of the teamrice eg and i have said that to you before. you are the person who told me you get pissed when people copy other peoples shit...now i know you'll say your not copying cause yours is a coupe and its not gonna be turboed(or at least right now) but more or less its the same

forgery is the best form of flattery, just shows jude likes the color and wheels. copy'n? no im not going to say he is copy'n because jude is gonna do what jude is gonna do. he likes the look of that setup so be it but if he runs a different lip and fogs and shit like that then its his own touch. not a copy.

as far as building a car goes. know your limitations, its an expensive hobby everyone knows this, everyone in the game atleast. save for your goal dont cut corners just to have it. building a car should take years of patience and research if your building on a budget, dont just start loading up on cheap parts just to get the car done. unless you have deep pockets i personally would save for what you want. jude's been through 3 honda builds so far (as long as i known him) im still on the first. i dont cut corners i save save save save save for the parts i want. i have bills 2.

on a side note this just went off topic and the 'budget builder' discussion needs its own thread.

again back on topic, nice springs jude. slap em on and snap some pics

i know he's not exactly copying, i just like to bust his balls haha....

....as far as knowing that being into cars can be an expensive hobby i definately know this, i was brought up in a family of gearheads...only thing is they're all into muscle cars haha my dad has a 1973 Trans am that is so clean and a 1969 firebird that he just picked up as a new project. the 73 he has had and been working on for years and everythings is legit on, no cheap or knock off parts cause he just wouldn't have it any other way, he's real anal about that stuff haha, so i know how it goes...
