To start off, I got a Renown 130R Motorsport Competition that I'll install in a few days.

If anyone is in need of a wheel, I highly recommend Renown. Wonderful quality and sharp looks.

I'm fitting it on a Momo 2008 hub.

I would break into a meeting at nissan HQ with a handmade dolphin that you hang from your rearview mirror and it smells nice and be like "gentlemen here is your answer"

The premium of course.
>willingly buying a 18yr old car for 20+k
It's like you don't like money or something.

I actually give a shit about safety so the new one.

Also dat new car smell/warranty/not looking like a poorfag to normies

Is premium a V8?

My mouth.

I usually roll them up and drop them in my ash tray.

If those are liquid, on the seat, mostly down there. If those are kinda hard, i roll them around and drop them on the carpet.

It really depends on you...I'm sort of in a similar situation, where I have a 2005 Silverado that I need to finish up. However I bought it private, I'm doing all the work, the milage is low 212k, and I only payed $2000, so for me it's a no brainer...

I will keep on with the project...you on the other hand, depends on what you can do yourself, your resources (cash monies and shit you need to get the work done)...

What needs to be done thats going to cost $2k more in work?

I know next to nothing about cars and have just very basic tools, so unless it involves duct tape I can't fix much. It needs an evaporative purge solenoid, HVAAC actuator for the heat to switch to AC, tire pressure sensor, both front brake roters, has holes in the mufflers of both tail pipes, needs a new power steering rack and pinion, and has a very minor seepage of the rear seal. Also has a few engine issues and noises that need more time and money to investigate than I have at the moment.

>>17133401
Buy some tools. Learn to wrench. Purge valve should be easy. Hvac might might be easy but also might not. Brake rotors are easy. Exhaust should be easy. The oil leak might be the valve cover gasket. Buy 100-300 bucks in tools and buy parts online. It's time to become a man.

for your house?

no

just open a shop if you're this dedicated.

Yes, absolutely

It's just so much more efficient and less troublesome

>>17132640
Yes. I'm waiting for a nice garage to put on ein.
