If I had my new set-up done I'd love too. I also really need to learn how to launch before I get to the track .

My little build up will start at the end of the month BTW. When I go to GA I'm picking up a Megan coated mani, 780cc injectors, and O2 housing. When I get back I should be ordering my GSC S1's, ARP headstuds, ETS 3.5 FMIC and piping, Green turbo, and meth. Shortly followed by coilovers. Either Megans or I might end up picking up a set of used Tein Flex's with EDFC if the price is right. I also just picked up my carbon fiber trunk. I'm gonna finish polishing it up and get it on sometime this week

Well it happened again... My car got broken into last night. They didn't take anything this time as they couldn't cause I don't keep anything in my car anymore. But they did smash out the small triangular piece of glass on the passenger side and slash my tire, but because of how worn my tires were (still had about 5/32's) but wouldn't be with in 2/32's of the others and all 4 had to be replaced. That cost me 802 dollars along with 125 dollars to replace the window. So now all in total I have around 1500 dollars in damages.

I'm going to be suing the management company since they have been aware of this and have supposedly hired a new security company yet they know that these break-ins happen every Sunday and Monday night but the security is no where to be found. I'm also going to suing for our full deposit and the rest of the deposit to get into the new apartments we are wanting to get into. If they aren't willing to settle out of court I will make this a class action law suit with everyone else that was involved. If anyone knows a good lawyer I can talk to I'd appreciate any info you can give.

We are. Thats why were suing. Were actually going to be moving to Sparks I believe. A complex called the Bluffs. It's low rent housing, but we can get a two bedroom and washer and dryer in the apt for what were paying for our little crappy 1 bedroom. Anyone have any info on that place?

I believe I told you we were looking at moving into a complex over near you Hee called Diamond Ranch or something like that. Do you see cops there a lot or hear anything at all about it? I'd actually prefer to move there as it will put me a little further from school, but closer to my Dads, compared to closer to school, but a hell of a lot further from my Dads at the other place in Sparks.

Someone in our current complex said they did a big drug bust there about a year ago and just rolled the wagon up and hauled about 5-6 dealers off. Thats the only thing thats holding us back from that place.

We live right on the outskirts of downtown Reno on Plumas between Moana and Plumb. I'm getting the alarm put in this weekend (hopefully sooner). I'm just waiting for the money for it to come in.

I'd advise against the low income place in Sparks. You get what you pay for (sometimes, since it hasn't worked for your current place). And IMO, Sparks has all the bad things that Reno has without all the nice things that Reno has.

I don't know anything about the Double Diamond apartments. While the Double Diamond area in general is pretty nice, the apartments could be a different story.

My take is to find a place with a garage in an area just a bit south of where you are at now. That area is in the center of everything and it is a nice neighborhood. But all things considering, you need a garage with a halfway decent car like the Evo.

I might have been lucky, but I used to live in a duplex at the corner of Lakeside and Moana with a 1 car garage, 2 bed, 2.5 bath for $775 a month. Not sure what your budget is, but I think you can get something similar at those prices.

That would fit our budget perfectly. Could you PM me some more info? My GF doesn't mind her car sitting out side since its a Jeep, but that would be great. I'll also cruise around there after class and see if i see anything since thats my area now.

Actually we looked at both apartments we were looking at moving into and they both have garages for rent, so if we go to one of those places we'll be getting one of them to park my car. Also we may have found a house that the owner just wants us to take over the mortgage and once thats done we'll have the house. Its a 3 bedroom for only 775 a month (mortgage take over), but we'll have to see how good of a deal that really is.

On the plus side the new tires, Toyo Proxes 4's, are just as good if not better than I remember. Much better than the ASX's

If i could have made it up to your Les Schwabs I would have, but my tire was coming off the rim. It cost me 170 bucks a tire that I could have gotten for 110 from a place they advertise here on EvoM. Tire deals for less or something like that.
