Default Somebody Stole My Turbo! *56K Warning?*

Well, it wasn't so much stolen as that I had to sell it for college funding. It took me two months to decide, but I realized education takes precedance over my car. I traded everything (except a few things) for cash plus a set of rims and tires. I was going to sell the rims/tires for even more money, but I decided to bolt them on. Much thanks to <u>dubniK</u> for driving up to swap. Here are a few before and after pics. Please be forgiving as I'm not a photographer ... just an English major. (Oh, and I like how you can't even see the touch-up paint or numerous scratches in the pics. )

<u>BEFORE:</u>






<u>AFTER:</u>

Yeah, I wish the turbo was still there. Now I nail the throttle, and all I get is a little stapler. But dubniK had some NT-450s on the wheels, and they seriously stick to the road compared to the old Yokohama S306s I had on the steelies. Complete night and day difference.

even without the snail the car looks great. its a shame you had to part with it, but i respect your maturity in facing the price of living in the real world.

Having no turbo is like trying to breathe without air.
Oh well, car still looks cool.
