DoobieS13

so this thread just ended

redss

didn't see your location.. I come thru SLC a few times every year during the winter season. Like you guys say.. "Best Snow Ever"

Havent' really found anywhere else comparable.

I stopped counting how much I spent on my cars. And If I have to count every dollars spent on tires drifting and cars breaking, and building... etc.. I would not sleep cuz I know I spent $$$$$$$$$$$$

I just finished rebuilding my drift car. and I was itching to pick up a z32. I almost did but the thought of not having enough garage space keeps that part of me grounded. I have 3 s chassis and I still want more.. My next house will need to have a 10 cars garage and enough driveway space to keep another 10..

I picked up my S14 in 04' and i have no plans to get rid of it. In fact, i had to garage it in 08' with a baby girl on the way. Now the new motor is in assembly, molds have been made for the new body, and the new tig welder arrived last week. I'm just getting started.

Once you finish a project, start a new one. I am not even half finished with my car and am already planning another build when this is finished.

joshchewuhh

Can we all make wish lists of the cars we want? i cant wait to "finish" my s13 so i have a reason to buy another one, and another, and 2 more. So I can have all the trim levels and paint jobs I want.
Why stop with one?

I seem to get bored with cars at least once a year. Once time I kept a car 3 months before I sold it (back when I had money). The grass is always greener... perhaps look at other aspects of your life to try & find what void needs to be filled. Spiritual, mental, social?

Lol so much win in this statement haha

having a 240, luxary sedan, and classic is a nice combo.

i still need to dump another 10g in to my 14 to be where i want it. and that still will be chump change compare to my Nomad project.

No car is ever really ever finished. There's always room for improvement. Like the rest of crowd this thread is fail without pix. You can contemplate about a classic but at the end of the day you will never get all your $ back whatever you dump it into.

ManoNegra

go bankrupt to build car
pad the mod list
bitch and complain about 'the game' being tired
and everyone having the same thing
bitch and complain when other don't 'appreciate' your build
sell 'classic car'
jump to another bandwagon
rinse, repeat

enkei2k

18g's...tell me you at least over nighted some parts from Japan. LOL sorry, couldn't resist.

I have an E46 and an S13.

Everyday I regret buying both.

Everyday I love that I have both.

In retrospect, the $30k + that I have tied up in both is stupid.

Given the opportunity, I'd do it all again.

To me this thread is pointless. If you are not happy with the s14 sell it, and buy something you want. Why make a thread about how you wasted your money and should have built a classic? A classic would have cost you twice of what you spent to restore, if not more. A true Nissan enthusiast will never regret what they have spent into there car, its just the love we have for them.

this thread is pussy.... stank pussy at that


dont build a car and complain, its real simple. if my friends heard me saying this they'de quickly tell me that im being stupid and to shut the fuck up.

the way i see it, 10-20k is still chump change if you're trying to build something thats respectable in the long haul. and like everyone else already said, post up some pics of your heap of shit. beware, as soon as people see it you'll either receive props or receive more harsh criticism, so be ready.

people hear me talk shit on the daily here, some wonder what the hell i am building. bottom line, build your car for yourself, accept it for the good and bad that occurs and deal with it. as many compliments as i get on my "project" there are and will always be things that could be done better, or still need to be done, etc etc etc.... just fucking deal with it.

Same story here, the numbers and cars are different but I know where you're coming from.

Are you guys really serious? Do you think it's hard or unheard of to spend $18k on a car? You really want to see an s14 with $18k in it? Look down about an inch. I stopped keeping track on my car at about $14k or something (including purchase price) and that's before the $4k in suspension, wheels and tires. there's been so much other little stuff, it wouldn't shock me if it added up over $20k, and my car is still mostly stock it seems. The S14 isn't the point of this thread. Get a life.

You also realize that your 240 will handle 1 million times better than an old mustang or camaro right? Youd have to dump 30k+ into an older mustang/camaro suspension to have it handle even close to your 240 and it would still be far off. Just get another project and stfu.

By the way i have a sr swapped zenki and a 68 Mustang fastback. They are both awesome in their own ways just completely different, if you really want to daily an ancient relic of a car maybe you should try it first mang.

not one pic yet.
Somebody should photodump

cdlong

Who gives a shit what the car looks like. He probably built it for himself as has been suggested thousands of times on this forum and now he's bummed about it. Whether you like it or not, or if you think the money was well spent doesn't make a damn bit of difference.

Back to the original topic, I say at least finish the car and drive it a bit. You can't go back, wishing you could only creates more heartburn. Figure out if the decision you made was the right one at the time and live with it. If you decide it was a worthwhile endeavor, just be happy with it and live your life. If not, learn from it and move on.

I feel unhappy with my s13 at times to and wish that I had dumped my money into a different car. But once I quit over thinking all the little details and the "what if's" and just get out there and enjoy my car for what it is and go drive the fuck out of it I realize why I love it.
