Lol. Yeah I dunno.....after winning two COTM's on two different websites and looking at my car in its glory in those professional shots I had done of my car.....and then looking out the window now at it....and its COVERED in dirt/grime....I just lose hope easily, lol.
It needs new shocks/struts....I wanna replace my scratched b-pillar vinyl.....who knows how much life my stock clutch has on it.....needs a wash/wax/claybar session.....my drivers size mat has a hole the size of Texas in it from pedal wear.....bah, shes a mess. Who knows....maybe once I get back on my feet and get a job and can MAYBE take care of a few of these things, I might change my mind. But right now my car matches me.....down in the dumps, lol.

Lol, my first car was an '88 RX-7. Got it with 62k original miles on it. When I sold it I had 98k on it. It was a ticking timebomb to the guy I sold it to. And yes, I was heavily modified when I sold it.

Good to know I'm not the only one with an SS n/a... I'll be interested to see what kind of an increase those cams give you. I'm new at all this, but from what I've been reading on here I picked a great first car as far as options for parts and such.

best update so far.... I got my trifecta tune and i absolutely love it..car pulls sooo much harder now..i can feel the difference in the low end and top end.. i have a street by my house that i use to gauge my mods and i usually dont get to 100 before i hit the street before mine.. i went from 2nd and got to about 120 or so i know its alot improved..plus the tq steer in 1-3rd gears went up alot haha.. i love the tune!

cams were 330. lifters 220...
i didnt get to do the 1/4 but with my bolt ons and tuning i got a 9.8 on the 8th mile yesterday...thats with the spare and jack in the car and HORRID wind.. (reason why we were doin 8ths.) I know i could hit lower, i just wasnt used to the new power.. im looking to going this weekend to run the quarter here this weekend with my club cuz we're all mad about running 8ths..
