Since I'm in class right now and were watching a documentary about useless stuffs I can explain right now (: so basically around middle school and freshman and sophomore year I collected shoes and clothing and would love to resell all the time then i started to get more serious and good at it I started to flip them at a good amount of price. I would buy some Nike sb for 200-300 and it would easily be worth 500-600. And I'm looking at making a good 500-1000 every 1-2 weeks. So that is how I got all the money to pay for my s14 and all the parts I had. As for my gs300 I got the money from parting out my s14! (= and for everyday living money like food, gas, and goodies is I roll/pull fenders for at least a good 2-3 years and would make about 60-80 each car , swap motors for my friends, oil change and much more.

adam....car's coming along well but i don't believe thats a very safe jack point. this isn't like the Honda's where you can/should jack by the front be careful with that man.

how is she running?

im jacking up from the tow hook though. i had to drive my car on wood THEN jack from the tow hook that's the only way i can even get a jack under. cause my cross member is 1 inch from the ground :\

and the car is running perfectly good (= last thing i have to do now is get a new diff cause the gearing for the r154 is too long for my diff so ill be at 3000rpm in 5th gear and ill be going like 85mph. ahaha
