@UrieHusky
I want to get a Greddy Type S, it had one when the previous owner had it, but he removed it (you can see it in the pic of the motor)

I wish my school had an auto class

 

[Astroboy2215]

That sucks that your school didn't have a auto class @Harry6784

Can't wait to see my valve cover when it's all done!

If you want a name for, call it "The Eclipse", thats what I do with my car.

 

[Capt Air]

Uran, Sarah, Zoran? They're all names of Astro Boy's sister's name.

 

[Astroboy2215]

@Capt Air
I wasn't aware of Sarah, I know the other two lol, Sarah does have a nice ring to it

 

[Astroboy2215]

My new valve cover (I know some people will disagree with my color choice)

My auto teacher first called my car a rice rocket when he saw it, even with the slight engine issue atm I was able to make him take back that statement

Lets be frank, your wheels weren't exactly flattering - it really did look like a RICER

Lookin' clean now tho! how're those new seats holding up?

 

[Astroboy2215]

@UrieHusky
He calls anything Japanese a rice rocket lol and thanks, as for the seats, for a company that I've never heard of, they are holding up pretty well, I really haven't worn them in yet lol

 

[Harry6784]

rice rocket

That's an oxymoron

My friend with the 2015 WRX told me I should enter Sarah (thats officially her name) into the Car Throttle Hot or not garage contest thing, you don't have to like her or however they do it, but here it is http://www.carthrottle.com/garage/emizel/1998-mitsubishi-eclipse-gs-t-2/

 

[Astroboy2215]

A friend just put this on my Facebook page, kinda does describe my car and I lol

I was looking through the recent adds and found this last night before you'd even posted here. It caught my eye and I said to myself, "Hey, that car looks familiar... it's Astroboy!!" I immediately rated her hot.

When my friend told me about I was browsing through and recognized Bruiser lol, did the same with Bruiser

Possible inspiration, what do you guys think nice or rice? (I really like the decal placement)

 

[Katiegan]

I'm indifferent. I wouldn't put brand decals on a car unless you have the parts the brand makes installed, otherwise it's just a shopping list on the side of your car.

If i do something like that I would use for example Eibach and Greddy because I have parts from them on Sarah

 

[Aquarelle]

They're a shopping list for thieves, I would advise against it as it's tacky regardless.

However, if you like it then do it - it's your car - just be careful.

This. If you didn't daily it and it was more of a track day kind of thing then sure, make yourself feel sponsored , but not as a daily. But, as Husky said, it's your car, so you do whatever you please.

I plan on moving to Florida after my senior year, they have way more tracks available than up here in the sticks lol, I really want to take Sarah to a track

A friend and I are going to check this out this weekend

 

[Astroboy2215]

We are also going to check out this neon green Ford Focus (for a possible Mount Washington Auto Road car)

 

[Beeblebrox237]

The Audi sounds great, up until the 167,000 miles. Oh god, no. If it runs perfectly with no problems and has a full service history (very important on VAG cars), then do it, but otherwise be very careful. I like that Focus, though.

I did forget to mention the Focus (its gong to be around $1500 for it in its current state) needs to be retimed, but that can be done at my school, If we can reach a deal the TT is at the top of the list

The TT would be a nice car, but I'm incredibly wary of those miles. VAG fans will talk about German reliability, but VAG products are notoriously flaky. I don't know how the first gen TT is, but just be careful. That said, if it's solid and has been properly looked after, it would make a very awesome car!

 

[Astroboy2215]

I'm very excited to go check out This TT after school today, most likely bot going to buy it today, but if it looks good, I'll have two wonderful cars
