and the fact that its an audi, that means you will be kicked out of ub.c till united audi forms

j/k... I love the audi S4 (except for the front grill part, get that changed ifffff you buy a new one), there's gotta be a way to get rid of the understeer.

PS I am just playin with ya

I hope all bimmers live long enough to show the other brands how well our cars are really built. However, speaking from personal experience, I tried to pull a little socket thing from under my console in my old E32 and it just snapped due to old age....you can't change things like that b/c those parts are just too old (mine was at 17 years).

no hard feelings

or i could restore my other beast:

**nightdevils** · 03-19-2006, 03:34 PM

how old is that?

**donald1476** · 03-19-2006, 03:45 PM

How about you think about it in a few years? If you're happy with what you have now then dont worry about it, but if there is something you want more right now don't go modding your car and sell it, total waste of money.

craig · 03-19-2006, 03:49 PM

yeah, im not going to mod it at all(maybe just a little, but nothing that will cost a ton) and no, im not compleatly happy with my 12MPG FORD. i would like to get something new as soon as possable. like i said, ill have 3-5K by the end of the year. so probably an e30. or second gen rx7.

**donald1476** · 03-19-2006, 03:52 PM

In your case I'd go with the E30 and get some wrenching skills then move on to a rotary.

**Hoppy** · 03-21-2006, 01:43 PM

restore the truck! old cars > new cars

**4X4 Bimmer** · 06-24-2006, 01:22 PM

definitly restore that truck, that thing is such a nice classic truck, if you lived closer I might even buy it from you

craig · 06-24-2006, 01:42 PM

^as much as i would love to buy that, hes not selling it. he calls it "his baby" even tho he hasnt driven it OR started it for years. and my dad no longer works for him so im not going to see him anytime soon. besides, my parents got the "other problem"(see other thread) figured out and they gave me the thunderbird (well, not gave, they owed me some money(400) so instead of paying me back they gave me the tbird). im calling a guy monday about a supercoupe(supercharged V8) and transmission set. wich is 230HP and 330 torque. ill be picking it up next friday. should be fun. also picking up a masterflow Force II Exhaust System, new interior from a 96 tbird(maybe), asa jh8 rims in silver, tokico HP series lowering kit and MAYBE a SCP Cobra R Style hood. so whos good with photoshop

? all should be here by the end of the summer.

**4X4 Bimmer** · 06-24-2006, 06:11 PM

nice deal with the t-bird that thing will haul when your done. and that guy sounds just like my brother who has a nice 86 chevy stepside and it's just sitting in the garage taking up almost the entire garage (the rest is taking up by his Yamaha R6 and Honda CRF 450

leaving no room for me to work on my bmw.) o well I guess some people would rather do other things than work on their cars

.

**94bmw325i** · 06-25-2006, 03:20 PM

those seem like some cool mods

**brien4787** · 06-25-2006, 07:18 PM

why waste money on modifying the thunderbird?
save it for a future car or anything that goes wrong with the car.
