I know the feel

>>14797943
I've tried going to car meets and I pull in open my hood like everyone else and nobody bats an eye. theyd rather look at a brand new stock Honda civic SI over my old Audi that I've replaced everything and turned it from a pos into a nice car.
>why was I born into the American car scene
>tfw will never go to a European car meet in my car
>kill me

>>14798024
Nobody would give a shit about your old piece of crap here either. Fuck off. Maybe kill yourself.

>>14797912
That's called good customer service so that you keep coming back, dipshit.

>>14798035
no shit

>>14798028
>b5 a4 sedan with drivetrain from an 01 a6 2.7t
>k04 turbos
you probably drive a fucking sandero

>>14798046
Unlike you I drive a car from this decade. A car that turns heads in towns. I have more money, and better taste, than you ever will. Now fuck off and stay in your shitty redneck country. Don't even dream about my continent you fucking negro. You're lower to me than Turks and their old ass BMWs.

>she remembers my name and my old 3kgt
>can't remember her name but know she used to drive a tiburon
>tfw too much of a pussy to ask her out
>tfw I never see her again

Moral of the story is don't be like me

>>14798059
Just go back and ask her out you colossal faggot, or play in traffic blindfolded. Those are your choices.

>>14798059

>this decade
you dont know what my dd is then
>turns heads
thats the fucking point, a slow old looking car with 340whp that i put together with my own two hands that nobody suspects is fast.
jokes on you because ive been to many european countries numerous times. my favorite being germany. except here i can say whatever i want about fucking muslims and i can own as many guns as i want. europe is nice, but you dont have the freedoms i have here in amerilard

>>14798075
no one cares

sleepers are boring unless they pack something special and yours doesnt

>>14798138
it came with a stock 2.8 and an automatic. definitely turned it into something special. i dont need to please people on this board. i built my car for my enjoyment

>>14798059
Doesn't she wear a nametag?

>>14798172
no its not special

its just a piece of shit with a standard swap stop whining that people dont like it if you only care about your own enjoyment of it

I'm a cashier and I call everyone my friend. Doesn't mean you're actually my friend

>>14798218
then what is special? a ford focus st with cobb bullshit on it??

newer cars are more eye catching than some old Audi if you truly want a special car it needs to look good

Not everyone cares about your Audi. They're cool cars but almost nobody appreciates them just do you man.

>>14798052
>>14798138
you just shut the fuck up

I took my mostly stock ZX3 to a C&C and my rice rocket exhaust turned some heads. Can't wait for the next one with my SRI. It's a stock first gen Focus kek. But I don't do it for them, I like the angry punchy intake sound.

I'm gonna buy another second fun car or maybe get my rusty first car running right and take it down to a C&C. A 1990 Benz, now that would be something to talk about.

Like how can you NOT have people talking about your car? Like just go up to people and talk. Last one I went to there was this guy with a 1JZ swapped Starion with a huge ass turbo. I started bullshitting to him how I liked his turbo and I kinda had a little thing for the Starions and various Starion bits and bobs I knew. So we got bullshitting and walking around and some other people joined us and we visited their cars and talked about them, and other people's cars and I bullshitted about my Focus and my Benz with them for a while and it was a cool time

Like just talk to people first about their shit then steer the conversation to your shit, you have to know how to TALK. If all you do is stand there and wait for people to ask questions about a relatively mundane Audi then you won't get shit but if you start talking to that dude over there with the brand new Civic about his brand new Civic and then about your Audi and what makes it worth talking about. Here's the thing, by default nobody gives too much of a shit unless you give them something to grasp onto in their head. They don't know what you did to your car.

>>14798498
Oh, and you know what else? I learned a little bit about Starions that day I didn't previously know.

>>14798498
thanks for the advice anon

>>14798024
I brought my dad's old Lincoln Mk.V to a car meet here in the US. Very clean car, 20000 miles, garage kept every day for 40 years. Nobody wanted to look at it. Very disappointing.

>>14798564
at least I'm not the only one. in my town anything with lowering springs and rep wheels is cooler than anything under the hood. what a joke

I actually think people do like my engine bay.

>>14798358

Not ricelands I hope. Vogtlands, STs, H&R. I'll never understand why people cheap out on brakes/suspension parts.

>>14799355
I got JOMS up front and St in the rear. found each used for cheap and the joms were brand new and St had 200 miles on them

>>14799355
yeah, me either, on the rear I have Hotchkiss sway bar. o34 end links. apikol reardiff moint rebuilt calipers, meyle rotors, akebono pads. stoptech lines. front I have stock calipers. stoptech lines. ecs tuning a8 meyle rotors. ebc yellow stuff pads and b5 s4 sway bar up front.

>>14798804

sounds like OP is suffering from a case of harbor fright

>>14799486
I'd peek at this anon

last time I went into Harbor Freight they had spilled paint thinner everywhere and being in the store longer than 5 minutes made me feel dizzy

You were called sweetie. She obviously must want your cock.

And that store is filled with absolute trash. Wouldn't trust the tools to work on my car.

>>14799864
their shit with the lifetime warranty has been good so far. I have had a Pittsburgh Jack for two years and it still feels new. now their grinders and dremel shit is bad. and some of the tool cabinets and tool boxes. but I just got this tool cart for 169 dollars and it is study , all the edges are rolled. has ball bearing locking drawers. definitely the best tool cart for the price. the chrome strips that came on it were cheap but I took those off.

>>14798172
>i built my car for my enjoyment
then don't let all these faggots get you angry dude. I'm proud of you for what you've done, and I'm happy that you're satisfied with your car. post pics.

Eww you faggots buy that cheap shit?
Beta as fuck.

>>14800020
I've always wanted a white box, there's a barely used KRL 1022 in white on my local craigs for 3200, been considering throwing an offer at him

>>14800020
waste of money right there tbhfamilia

>>14800034
Matcos are the cheapest usable box made

>>14800044
but why spend 1000s on toolboxes

>>14800051
Because that's how much a quality box costs. Is it better to buy a $400 toolbox that barely works every two years for your whole career? Of course not.

>>14798024

>audi

>>14800044
Cheap? Yeah ok son..

>>14800020
rather spend that money on my car than something that sits in my garage

>>14800124
That pays the bills my friend

>>14800067
Exactly what I do as well. I just leave that shit usually scattered.

I've been meaning to at least get a bag or some shit. Maybe a small box and do foam cutouts for the tools or some shit.

>>14799486
That shit is pretty clean how long did it take to tuck?

>>14798184
>implying this sperg can read

>>14800216
>tuck
SVTs pretty much come like this, All I did was clean it, wrap the exhaust and repaint the valve cover, which was a silver color that was peeling something horrible.

I'm getting ready to repaint it though, Either white, or gold.

Also been debating on if I want to get an upper strut bar. I would paint it to match.
