Oh i forgot to mention it was a piss off when i got my wheels on bc the stupid punks who did em stripped out the mounting holes for my center cap and put that rim on the RR so i wouldnt notice. i was cleaning them an noticed the cap loose both bolts were 3/4 turn in Thumbs Down I just tapped the holes out and its good but seriously when someone spends 1000$ on wheels their should be more care. Im going too call the shop an let the owner know!! next time ill do em myself

I swear, I am the worst decision maker EVER. I can not decide on what I want to do to save my life.

1. FI the 350z.
2. Buy a bike - the one I was gonna get fell through awhile ago Madder

3. Buy a "muscle" car and build a drag bitch out of it.
4. Buy an older, lightweight car and then drop a V8 into it.

All cost about the same (roughly). I just want something fast again, mainly to wipe the stupid grin off of my friends face. Cam/heads LS1s are no joke lol.

do a stillen sc !!

I'd get more power by shoving a leaf blower into my intake manifold lol. Stillen is a complete joke as far as power goes.

I was actually considering it. Everything all said and done will run about $12k if I do all of the labor myself (which I would be)

Or build the VQ and TT it for the same amount, and make 700whp haha.

Cheapest way these days is probably to go and get it yourself.


And I wouldn't drop a Bigger engine into it at your age in the uk.

About cruisers. They just aren't my style. I understand the comfort, and would actually drive an Iron 883 if given the chance. I don't really travel long distances so being hunched over is no problem. I can also sit up right on the thing too.

If I could afford it I wouldn't mind something like an SV650 which is more upright, ie a touring bike. But still kinda sporty.

Otherwise it's all sport bikes for me, I like the look better, I like the high revs. While I'm not racing it on the street it just fits me better, and when I do want to hit the twisties I have no worries flicking it around.

speaking of an SV650 i went by one of the bike dealers in my town the other day and they got a 2006 orange one in there with sadle bags and all, its got 12000kms on it, they want $7000 for it though. ive ridden it once and it was a great bike, i love how you can adjust the seat height and how its got the perfect size motor makes it extremly nice to ride. if they didnt want so much for it than id get it without question.

No dude you don't want a European engine. You want a blown 454.
