It's been awhile fellas!

hey guys!! i know most of you don't remember me, nor does my sn look familiar, but maybe the older fellas will remember. just wanted to come on here and greet you guys since i havent been on in a few months.

alot's been going on since the last time i've checked in..a month ago a buncha haters keyed the shit out of my car at a movie theatre, and threw their door into mine right on the body line and left a fatty dent. unfortunately the "cameras" mounted right above my car on the building were just decoy cams to deter theft n bullshit, but clearly didn't work. lol. so i left it as is.

then last week, i was parked at my buddys shop uploading the head to my 1J, and then BAM this guy in a FJ cruiser backs right up into my fit!!! he initially denies everything (wtf!) and i point up at the cameras on top of the building (which worked this time) and he says "ok fine i'll park". and sure enough the cam caught everything. bumper, fender, and headlights all broken/dented

insurance took care of everything, and then some. the estimate was so high, i was able to have the body shop also take care of the hater marks from the month earlier. a blessing in disguise indeed. can't wait to get her back, in new condition again. driving 37,000 miles in 1 year put ALOT of rock chips in the front bumper.

and to those who care, i've been spending my money and time on this. after i rebuilt the SR20, it just never ran right, so i sold it and picked up a 1JZ, and have been rebuilding it to put into the 240. it's almost put back together, so stoked!!!

haha thanks, when i rebuilt my SR, it just never ran the same...so i sold it and went another this route...which is turning out to take longer and more expensive than i wanted, LOL.

which RB? if ur contemplating btw the rb20 or vh, do the vh. check out this vid of my buddy's when they just got it started up. forget the 20!! hahahah

I'm not impressed with SRs anyway, they turn tons of RPM but lack a lot of torque. I'd go KA-T before I 20 swapped.

it's between a R33 RB26 or a VH. I'm leaning towards the VH for money reason, but idk yet. A built to the hilt RB would be a mean machine.

Stick with that 1JZ, will be a nice ride.
