I give the credit to the haters out there who only promote this and other threads as well. "The best prelude in the world" is now a household name around here and I am known as a braggart, hater, dumbass, etc as well.
I don't care, I've made every part of my build known and what I do and don't do with the car now. I don't believe I've ever said anything about it that wasn't true, I don't make up big numbers that my car puts down (they're mediocre for the H22) or post track times (drag or courses) because I said I haven't done those yet. I even explained why I titled my thread the way I did too, and nobody has really commented that what I did was actually a good reason when you look at the bigger picture.
I personally don't think I brag about items I got for my car. This thread started with enthusiasm for rare products that I was posting a couple months ago on my sig that I wanted to buy, and guess what, I got 'em.
I simply put it up for the reasons I've already stated, to find out if anyone else on here was bidding on them (because I had a strong feeling they were) and to see what other car they would've had a home in had I not won the auction.
I wholeheartedly believe that I spent too much, but everything that costs more than the stock price of just general maintenance on a 10 year old car is "too much." But it is a labor of my love and it's something I've really gotten into. I know most of the haters comments are fueled by the "back and forth's" we had over that one guys beat up 4th gen that I claimed was a bad purchase for what he wanted to do with it, and there's not much I can do about it. I'll just let them have their little fun with it all and pretend they're big scary badboys when they jump on this forum.
