yeah dude like a sliding rag top... That'd be sweet. A clubmember friend of mine did it to his VW Corrado and it was kick-azz .

I was actually thinking about having a sunroof put in on my car a few months ago. The only reason why I didn't get it at TOP is because it was too expensive for such a small mod. The sunroof is actually really small, I didn't like it. But if I ever have one custom made and installed it should be well worth the money (about 900 -1k if I did my homework right). I would just be worried about leaks

HA! Mine will be 2 years in 2 weeks... By then I estimate ~74K.

Both my fiancee and I love my Coupe for long drives, so I figure she'll be around until she needs taken out to pasture... My plans involve a Z or an EVO X, likely the Z... since she's eyeing a Z Roadster before she starts her residency and we could both cruise together. I wouldn't mind having the EVO as a daily and Z as a weekend, however! We just need @ least one car we can fit our skis and my shooting gear inside of!

I don't think you ever want to get rid of your first tuner... I sold my '99 Eclipse GSX in 2003, and have regretted it ever since. I bought it off ebay from some guy in NJ for 15K, and probably dropped twice that by the time she was done. (Total sleeper except for the Greddy PE exhaust, the intercooler under the stock fender and HoK Minden Silver Pearl paint) I spent most of the summer of 2002 under that hood. I mean yeah, she was replaced by an EVO, but I've missed her since! TBH, the lines of the A/Cs kind of remind me of the 2nd gen dsms!

2G DSM's FTW!

I had a 96 Talon TSi, and while that thing was in the shop more than on the road, I loved it! Definitely had some kind of love-hate relationship with it, and definitely a car I'll remember

Mine showed much love for the ceramic-ball Turbonetics T3/T04E-60 under the hood! I wanted the vanity plate to say "v8eater," but some douche kid in a bondo-colored neon with chicken wire, coffee can and park bench already had the plate in WV.

Definitely keeping the coupe now. I got a nearly $9k student refund from school yesterday in the mail. I could put it back towards the loans, but I figure I can do that when I'm a lawyer, and so instead I'm paying off my credit card debt.

And I got tints.

Are A/C sales slumping?

Scotts got a 2.5 turbo build.

I just got my car tuned and headered. I think we still got it.
I will drive my A/C into the ground! Living in Washington State (the snowy part, not the westside, like Seattle) its hard to find a sporty FWD car. I gotta drive in the winter, and tho the hubby has a new Xterra, I hate driving big SUVs and prefer to sport my look year-round. I am a newbie Coupe owner and vow to be one for a long time! A/C to the HIZZY!

'Cause I told them I was part time (evening classes), and they got me enough loans to be full-time. Don't know that it will happen every semester (kinda hope it doesn't), but this was helpful.

That's what I assumed, but the lady at the Bursar's office explained elsewise to me.
