I wanna start doing some auto X-ing, i wanna get a 01 subaru 2.5 RS and a trailer. cars easy as heck to work on and theres parts up the ying yang for it, also makes a nice off road ride too ! any of you guys into auto X or tuning of vehicles?
i like the 02 03 bug eye suby
yea 02 - 03 bug eye is nice and so is the blob eye. The bug eye's were easy to make fast! i really really like the 06 body style it was made by one of the dudes from alfa romeo and the front end on it is just sweet, took me a minute to get used to it just like the new 08 09 wrx's. The 5 door WRX/STI has grown on me at firsti hated it and now i really really like it, the only thing i have a beef with is the 4door sedans rear end & tail lights!! those damn things should not have been changed SO much, what makes a WRX/STI just that is the god damn TAIL LIGHTS!! its ALL about that rear end, when you mess with that youre gonna piss off the suby fan base, but its more popular than ever now so go figure! its faster and stiffer than ever too, i really wanna test drive one but i know if i do ill just switch up, i cant leave a car dealer ship without a new car for some reason LOL

Yes , those pink mesh rims are tight , so what .
got this one to wash my 99' R33 Skyline
Nice try...they didn't make the R33 in 1999, it was the R34. But I guess it's nice to dream.
I didnt think that looked like a R33 or R34
yea it looks like a nissan altima, a 99 one at that LOL
I also wasn't really looking at the car either.
"Those of you 2009 Nissan GT-R haters out there, you're going to love this one. To the GT-R fanboys, well, sorry, this is going to be hard to make excuses for.
Last week we took our Nissan GT-R to Nissan of Santa Monica for routine service. We knew going in that this was going to be an expensive one. We'd been warned ahead of time that this service was not only an oil change (already expensive on these cars), but also a routine change of the differential and transaxle fluids.
Should be simple, right? Consider this: Automatic Transmission Fluid (GT-R specific) lists for $114.98 per quart. That's not a typo-- maybe an accounting error on Nissan's side, but not a typo. Forget Cristal we're going to start seeing hip-hop videos with rappers pouring this stuff on the ground while throwing dollars in the air. Don't worry, though, we didn't pay that. We got a deal; only $84.24 each. What a bargain.
Once you regain your breath-- lost either by laughing or screaming-- follow the jump for the full break-down of this service.

Now that we've all had a good laugh (or cry), here's the breakdown.
Transmission & Diff fluid change:
8 Quarts (Our car took just under 8. They quote 10 quarts, but the ammount used is rarely, if ever, that high. Honest dealers will tell you what your car took. Dishonest ones can easily charge you for the full 10.) of GT-R Automatic Transmission Fluid @ $86.24/ea: $689.92
3 Quarts of GT-R specific differential oil @ $62.02/ea: $186.06
Labor: $500
Oil Change:
1 Oil Filter: $6.95 (finally, something normal)
6-quarts Mobil 1 Synthetic 0W40 @ 9.38/ea: $56.28
Labor: $150
New Engine Air Filters and in Cabin Microfilter: (We could have saved a few bucks and done this one ourselves, but the car was already in the shop.)
2 engine air filters @ $52.86/ea: $105.72
1 Micro Air filter: $53.38
Labor: $115.00
The remote entry was repaired at no cost.
Our service advisor also noted that our right-rear tire had lost a strip of rubber on the inner edge, metal was showing. We have a set of tires already orderd from Stokes Tire Pros in Santa Monica.
TOTALS
Labor: $817.50
Parts: 1,101.31
Tax: 90.86
Total charge: $2009.67
Days out of service (including estimates for the repair): 4
As easy and fun as this is going to be to skewer in the comments, here's a side challenge (which we've also got posted on a white board in our office): What could possibly be in the GT-R specific oil to make it cost $114 per quart?
