What is up guys??
« on: April 08, 2010, 10:54:00 AM »

It's been awhile since I've been on here.  I'm always here every couple of months but haven't had a ton of time to post too much.  I've been adding Capri performance specific parts to my line up montly it seems.  I just recently added  Synapse Engineering .  They have an awesome blow off valve that works wonders.  Not all BOV's are created the same  ;)

Anything new with anybody? Life? Cars?

Kelly, sounds like you have really done some work!  Good to hear things are going well.

Gostlrs, I know the feeling.  I had to sell mine when I got laid off from my full time job.  I hope to get another in the future, just not sure when that'll be.

Doesn't sound like a bad compromise at all!  But you will spend more money keeping that DSM on the road than the Capri.

I traded a car that i had 500 bucks invested into...

i have sold all the parts to get the DSM to a semi stock and will start building it up soon.

the bonus is..a 2G DSM with mods can sell for 6K+

cant get that from a capri...LOL

when i am done with what i want to do i will have about 3K invested...cars with same mods are selling on ebay right now for 8K

man, how I know the feeling, I have probobly got close to 4 grand into the caprinow, maybe more. I will keep it and try for 250 bhp, honestly I believe I can get it. I hope that I will be happy then. As far as building to see a profit, or just to learn more, I bought an 85 gt 5.0 convertible and have been putting some money into it. Hopefully be able to turn it for a small profit when the time comes. thanks to the big guy upstairs for keeping me busy, working, through these bad economic times. I gots this bad "car parts habit", and might need an intervention!!LOL

I should have stopped when I was 2 grand into it...

and also at 4 grand...

at 6 grand...

probably been a good idea at 8...

I figure my total cumulative Capri related costs over the last ~6 years have been about ~$10,000

wtf. I don't think anyone here will be giving me an intervention anytime soon either, lol

Matt, of course we won't have an intervention, we're "Enablers".  I do know how you feel Matt, I put that into my car, but mine was all cosmetic.
