After quickly discovering that my car--really the generation--was impractically unmodifiable beyond the point of some bpu and visual upgrades (like rims, some suspension), I have had nothing to talk about in regards to upgrades (other than dreaming and photoshop). The fact that I'm in school (if any of you've heard about Art Center in CA, then you know the homework load is nuts) and have no job doesn't help either.
Maybe as a testament to the Protege's/3's/etc reliability, not a lot of stuff breaks down; therefore, we don't have to play home garage mechanic a lot. I don't know, but I know that my car's been perfect for the last 30k after the timing belt and water pump were replaced.

i dont WANT to sell the FC but if someone wants to buy it and they have money in hand I'll sell it. On a side note I found the engine/tranny for it. 220whp Renesis w/ 6spd and mild street port. If I end up keeping the car I'll take my comission check and buy everything. Then I'm going to fly in all of my electrical friends to help me wire up all of the electronics and the RX8 gas pedal and DBW system.
should make for a fun weekend.

And I'm still around, come on atleast once a day, but don't really post much! Been broke lately, so can't do many mods! Trying to get a job at a new AutoZone opening up by me, so hopefully that will help with the cash flow!
