skyline idea is dead :(
gdamn cars are illegal like a son of a bitch. The guy who was selling it ended up being a kit car and now its a catch 22 to get one unless i wanted to go grey market 
i think ill be keeping the cl for a bit and just working on it...getting my bike soon so i guess itll be ok..
now what do build first...engine or appearance?
first up i think is gonna be the led tails since i hardly drive it anymore....
btw the front brakes are a pain in the balls to change since i had to annialate the 2 screws holding em in....damn acura.
anybody got a group buy going on for dr evil tranny's?

Just did my brakes--the screws were annoying but the brakes shouldnt have been that hard....those screws are pointless anyways. Got replacements at the parts counter for around $.63/each.
Did someone say LED tails? got pics? DYI instructions maybe??
Sorry to hear the Skyline wasnt totally legit...

yea i will do em now. I figure the car only has 50k on her so I have some time with it. I didnt even replace those screws...the wheel holds the rotors in place anyways.
Well I am gonna do led tails, and ill have to use my own since nobody wanted to give a donor set....oh well

See thats the thing with a production car...i dont want one that anybody here can buy. The only reason I wanted the skyline was because of its rarity. And starboy trust me if i wanted a skyline I could buy a grey market kit car and probably be fine. But that lil % of U.S Customs knocking on my door saying "hand over the keys" is not a risk im gonna take for 40k. I was gonna get a Tl but honestly its not appealing after the skyline.
Thats why i think ill stick with the CL for a bit and get my bike...Take the money and get some investment property or sumthin.

I still don't get why it is illegal. I would think you could get permits for just about anything but drugs to be shipped here.
Oh well, I guess I should research it.
Good luck with the CL.
