Thanks guys

 

yeppers, i might submit once my build is done

 

sweet deal!! the more 2.2s the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You KNOW you got my vote bro.

 

Thanks

 

Nice car.

New tires - 225/25?? my god thats small or is that a typo

 

must be a typo lol, right now they are a 205/40/17, on the way are 225/45/17 nitto neogens

And thank you


and btw, to all the wing haters that will appear, I am taking it off this weekend for the drag races but it will be going back on...we will see what it looks like though

 

how the *** do you vote? ive never voted before

 

last few days of the mo there will be a thread on the home page that you get to vote in

 

ahhh. got ya...**** i feel stupid. but either way im votin for ya dude

 

its all good, and thank you gonna need all the votes i can get

 

lol, maybe the 3rd time you will get it. if at first you dont succeed try again.

 

exactly lol

 

but after a while of not succeedin, me personally id say the hell wit it lol. when i get more exterior and interior work done i might run for it

 

its not too hard to keep running, i just keep updated my mod list and swap out pics if i get better ones haha, then copy and paste to new thread for new mo

 

thats wat you gotta do, keep it fresh. youll get the recognition you need to get eventually. 2.2s will rise lol

 

meh, not holding my breath on this site

 

I dont wanna be a dick, but do you actually think your gonna win? You've ran several months in a row with no success, so why would it be any different for next month? And im not trying to be a jerk, i have a 2.2 myself, and im sure i wouldnt win either if i submitted.

 

meh, its the point, im not going to stop entering even if i dont win. If all I do is give up cause a few egotistical asses come in here and try to belittle me and my car then what have I worked for with it? I am proud of the car and think that it deserves some recognition. I know there are many that are better then mine, but its the one mo that not alot of people like twizted or usmcfieldmp enter where I may actually stand a chance and I wont know that they didnt enter till its too late.
Its kinda like the whole sitiuation where people mod their car or change something cause a few people tell them it looks bad or they dont like it, such as my wing, i get flamed all the time by people (who have no real argument at all about it they are just bitching to bitch) but I like it so Im not changing it...if I did I would jsut be the puppet of the CSS masses and the same goes for here, why give up for something I believe in, its not like I have to type out and submit those pics every mo...its the same format I just edit it, its also a nice running list of whats up with the car if anyone asks

and your not being a jerk, ive asked myself the same thing a few times, but if all I do is let "the bigger kids" bulley me then I have failed on so many levels

i hear ya man...

 

ya...and im REALLY stubborn

 

im pretty sure if some 2.2s went and kicked a few SS's ass we'd get a little recognition lol. thats my goal anyways. i got a couple SS's around my town i plan on goin after....after i get my GT2860RS or T3/T4 turbo bolted up HAHAHAHA
