Oh, don't worry, Loki will let you have his old vert once he picks this one up!

Of course! It's got some front end damage though. Nothing a little wax and TLC can't fix though. Oh, and the front left tire is flat.

*hugs poor vert* BTW, I've never known an old fart to use "LOL" so much And what do you mean "Dunbar"? Nearest Dunbar I know of is, like...Pitts. Do you mean Dunmore?

man Eikon, Don't scare him about those TC rod bushings... just get one's with spherical endlinks anyway, Heck the baller SPL rods are 200 or so, but you can pick up megan one's for ~ 120 IIRC.

well worth the upgrade, I just drilled mine out and filled in with polyurethane adhesive and it improved my turn in by leaps and bounds.

it's ghetto, I know, but it's only temporary

yeah.. but when you're talking about a $3500 car.. every little $120 - $200 repair is pretty major.

Buy the car, save a vert, even if you have to do some work you'll enjoy the experience.

Nismo tension rod bushings are $70 for the pair. Energy's are a bit less.

eh, see where you coming from, but kinda disagree....

I have an S14A that I can't put any mod-money into because I still owe on it and couldn't bring myself to put money into the car that doesn't go towards the principal.

on the other hand, my vert is paid for cash money, and can pretty much do whatever I need with it, as I'm doing a nicely supported SR swap in it, and it's not coming NEAR what I've got in just my stockish S14. (I sold my wifes tracker to fund this campaign, she's learning to drive the kouki)

I guess what I'm saying is it's a bit easier to spend a little extra money on a 3500 dollar car than a 9,000 dollar car.

that and for pete's sake, the car is 15 years old... you're gonna have some upkeep
