first of all no, i have no aspirations of being a "mad tyte drifter on the streets"

i just want it to work at its full potential and look fkin sexy. basically only rims asfar as exterior goes.

5speed swap would be nice in the future, but tbh i dont have the experience to do that myself, so if anyone in Chicago area wants to lend a hand that would be kewl.

The only "clear" headlights are the ones that have aftermarket lenses put in. Everything else has fluting.
OOPS.

Eh, I was involved in something like that but it got too childish. I got out of that and now I'm just a loner, although I do go for drives with my friend and his Cobra

you dont have to be in a club to have car meets, when i lived in florida i would go to car meets and just hang out and meet people and talk car stuff. maybe we should have a car meet put together for us lonely chicagoans to give us something to do

spread the news around these forums and other ones i guess, and choose a date and a place, and eventually make it like a weekly thing or monthly and if it rlly catches on make it a club and shet website ... u know all that junk, i think it would be pretty sick

Yes downtown State street would be awsome BUT, Lakeshore Dr. would be rad" lol.

Man this sounds tempting but I realized most people around IL don't really bother with stuff like that. I remember DriftBoy07 and I wanted a meet but never happened. Also, it would be pointless for me, my car is nowhere ready

BTW: I saw a meeting posted on Craigslist at Melrose Pk. somewhere. Its just a ramdom car thing though, not just 240s.
