haha, sucks you cant see pics at work man. trust me, it doesnt look that great right now.

uh, kinda considering it but not really sure. guess if i'd come across a stupid deal on one and actually have the extra cash i woudlnt be against it. and yes, i'd do it right with arp rod bolts and acl bearings.

finally saw the pics. nice lip man looks good.

what color are you gonna paint it?

Spoon ITR · **Posted:** Thu Aug 07, 2008 11:57 pm

i always said if i had another project car like an integra or something i would paint it rootbeer metallic off of the honda element....don't get any ideas :lol:

oldskoolda9 · **Posted:** Fri Aug 08, 2008 12:41 am

thanks. i LOVE the lip. it sets the car off just right. plus no one else around here has it. they all have the mugen STYLE or the type-r STYLE.

lol, dont worry. you can keep your root beer idea. im actually not sure on what color im gonna go with just yet. but good chance it'll end up flat black or white before it actually gets painted....cant afford a good paint job yet and cant stand looking at it the way it is...being broke sucks! of course, if i wasn't broke, i'd have an s2k myself. hahaha

lol...the s2k is what made me broke :cry:

oldskoolda9 · **Posted:** Fri Aug 08, 2008 10:44 pm

lol. i can believe that. my friend used to have one when we were 19 (he was a car salesman) and he was payin like 600 a month between his car payment and insurance. had a no name intake on it and tanabe exhaust. sounded sick! but he got into too much trouble with it and had to rid of it. sucked.

GRAF-FITI · **Posted:** Fri Aug 29, 2008 1:25 pm

damn..i pay 320 a month for payment + insurance on my s2000

ReddotsS2K · **Posted:** Fri Aug 29, 2008 8:35 pm

236 a month for me...but when you go through a 800 dollar diff every month and a clutch setup every month, along with a set of tire...shit get pricey. (maybe i exagerated a little)

oldskoolda9 · **Posted:** Fri Aug 29, 2008 11:53 pm

well the $600/month for insurance and car payment was also like 4-5 years ago, he was only 19, and already had a nice lil record for speeding and what not. lol
