I HAVE TO STOP COMING HERE!!!

I just went out yesterday and bought all this shit for my car:
- Comptech Springs
- Comptech Sways
- Koni Yellow Shocks
- Denso Spark Plugs
- Apexi V-AFC
- AEM CAI w/Bypass Valve
- AEM Pulleys
AND now I am thinking of making a trip to FL to visit Doug at Rick Case Acura. I thought that I would be happy enough once I got the Comptech headers & Comptech exhaust put on... Well I am going to give Park Ave a call today to get a price to install all this crap. I might get my car back in a few days! Anyway, let's just stop talking about nitrous and other mods so my pockets don't feel so light, ok

I haven't even seen it yet. I am always the last one to get my tax returns, I think they leave me for last on purpose!

That is a ~$2,500 job. You already spent some $1,700 for headers and exhaust...

Still some $2,000 for new rims/tires and you are all set

Total: Around $6K..... CLS is a money drain.

badazz,

I know what you mean. I blame this forum for the MAKING me buy springs and sways. After hearing people here talk about how great thier cars handle, I could not resist.

Hell, I think Comptech should fund this site. Maybe they do and the moderators work for comptech. I full of all kinds of theories today. Or maybe I just don't want to work today.

You may be onto something here! I also believe that the moderators work for Comptech, and are brain-washing us into buying everything they have

Not too bad. I have to leave the car for a couple days, and it is going to be about 700 for everything to be installed (except for the V-AFC). I also have Park Ave checking some other things out as well

Yeah, you got it -- CL-S space race. No one will be happy until the car gets a set of wings and a tail for it, and it takes off for a dogfight.

Let's see....

Ok

Get that 3.5

Oops -- not enough power to the ground...

Get those light wheels and tires.

Oops -- found an old hemi that beat me

get that super charger.

Oops -- tranny gears are too wide.

get that retro-fit manual and conversion.

Ooops -- some got a few inches ahead in the curves

get those coilover's and gas shocks

oops -- found a Shelby Cobra that beat me

Get that head work and big valve job

oops -- couldn't out-run that police helicopter

Start drilling holes, get the carbon fibre, get some heat seeking missiles...

oops -- found a top fuel dragster that could beat ya.

Put bicycle tires on the rear and put an 8 liter engine in the front -- screw the hood, put in a complete RWD conversion.


Wife divorces you, but you have a trailer down at the drag strip...

If a person owns a trailer, does that make him trailer trash???

Kinda like
"if a tree falls down in the forest with nobody around, does it make a sound?"

Or
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

No, he may also have a hut or lean-to down there

To get run over by the CL-S and come back as a drag strip owner in the next life...
