Wow, this thread brings back memories... Back on the late 90s and to early 00s.. We use to do installs of custom mods on rice pockets.. LOL Alot of good experiences.. Alot of money, time wasted too.. I looking back now and wish had better equipment to do the work.
I had my turbo 96 civic finally blew up in my during this winter. Mental note never let the family members move your car on the coldest day of the year when they just start the car and move it right away... Bearing on the turbo just blew without warming up the turbo.... Now I am back to NA..... LOL no more force induction for me for awhile.
But seems like I will be moving onto crotch rockets instead of rice pockets.. LOL

^That sucks!
I would be on a crotch rocket if I wasn't short! (5'4) and could touch the ground. Don't get me wrong I could ride. I learned off a friends R1 and a GSXR 750! ahaha
I dropped by boys GSXR 3 times cause my whole foot couldn't touch the ground. Thankfully he only saw me do it 1once but I forget what part of it broke. He wasn't too enthusiastic about it but he was $$$$$ so it didn't bother him much so it couldn't have been that important.
I probably would kill myself on a bike and I heard turning radius and the bike just goes to sh*t as you drop it so I didn't want to go that route.

Here is my work pics with other car enthusiasts (my bosses)!
Q5/7 owner owns a B7 RS4 tricked out and a set of euro seats (only 2 in the states, believe the color?)
WRX owner just got rid of B7 s4 because of Gas prices but later said that the WRX isn't much better

Anyone down for a car meet on may 11 Saturday at the aquarium village parking lot? Say 10, 11 or 12pm to 4pm? Give or take.
Two weeks after the swap and before memorial day?
Just an idea. Briefly spoke to rich and he said he would be ok with it. And who knows maybe he will have something on sale.

My AC lines will need another go over but my strut is MIRROR-LIKE FINISH! Started too late at night because that's the only time I can get free after my family falls asleep!
