My first official post in the Advan's C320 Coupe Thread !

If I had the money, I would buy that extra set of Bi-X and hold it for someone, but I'm already buying an extra set for myself to hold on to for a couple of decades.

Don't let the thread die... have Drex or one of the mods, merge all your previous threads to this one, update POST # 1 with the one in this thread,
and have them keep the name of the thread as this one. It can be done !

I think my thread is going on 22 pages now, and is basically a complete history of all my mods. It sure beats starting a new thread every other week.

I agree, I have a "x" number of picture threads for myself, and its so hard to keep track of what I did, when I did. So sometime soon, I'm going to post my stock photos, and minor updates that I have done for my coupey!

I WISH I had money to buy a set of Bi-X, maybe with the bi-x group buy, I can finally find a set of clear headlights for cheap!, my budget right now for mod is like, $250 MAX lol i'm so broke you wont understand. again, I'm still jobless

well, maybe if the interview this saturday works out, then I can jump right back on the modding track!
