Holy dead thread revival, Batman! :lol:

Sorry, no new tank pics, as there has been nothing new. No new coral or fish additions. Tank's doing well. What few coral I have left are growing.

Here's a shot of my latest project. Ultimate goal: Swap a Toyota MR2 turbo engine back there (yes it fits)

Smart car w/ a Brabus upgrade?

 

[tbone28]

It's a brabus smart. Smart brought 2000 over to the US this year.

Brabus body kit, wheels, suspension, exhaust, and interior trim. No Brabus turbo as they have in Europe cuz it didn't pass emissions.

I've sold the wheels and suspension. Replaced with HRE's and KW V2 coilovers.

 

[Jflip2002]

Never seen HRE's on a smart, LOL

Looks good Terry.

Thanks, Ed. Took me so long cuz I've been hanging out at the car shop all night. The tank's playing 2nd fiddle to my other hobby. I snapped these pics just for you guys

We notice..... reefing is not your thingy now


But still good to have some updates form you once a while

 

[tbone28]

Cars have always been my true passion, with reefs a close second, but the whole AEFW/RB episode really took the wind out of my sails, and the enthusiasm is still there but never came back to the same level. What took the enthusiasm away isn't the fact that I got the bugs, but HOW I got them...

A before pic:

And what it was:
(I still plan to restock, just don't know when...)

 

[melev]

Nice to see all the images in your update, tbone. And you were missed. I remember when all that happened, but know that lots of us deal with issues in our tanks. I still come across AEFW in my tank (quite recently, actually) from time to time, and just grit my teeth and deal. And even with all of that, my tank's been looking pretty for some time now.

I like your cute little car. So it is souped up to do what exactly? I don't think you can win against a semi-truck. :lol:

Your kitchen is always so clean. Do you guys ever use it?

 

[uhuru]

Can I have that car shipped USPS priority mail? Should fit in one of those flat rate boxes I think.

Nice to see youre back! Hopefully you start restocking soon!

 

[tbone28]

Marc, it isn't so much that I got the bugs, but HOW I got them...there were some ethical issues behind it that, to this day, I still don't agree with. The ethical part of it is what took my enthusiasm away.

Speaking of semi-trucks, one almost killed me when I first got this car! I totally underestimated the (lack of) power this car has, and I was turning onto a rural 2-lane highway when all of a sudden I see a huge semi barrelling down on me! I guess this car doesn't have the pick-up my mercedes has :lol: I actually got pulled over by the CHP for that incident (unsafe lane change)

It's not souped up yet, but the last project planned for this car is to swap the stock engine with a Toyota MR2 turbo engine. Right now, I'm just doing the cosmetic mods. After the engine mod, I think I will be able to surprise a few exotics

 

[Felix1021]

nice update.
thanks for all the great pics.
I was into cars once...but they stold it
R.I.P 2001- 2006 lol

f.

Very nice, Felix. 92 Civic hatchback is still my favorite style of all time I had a 91 Accord back in the day...one of the 1st to roll around on 18's. lol Mine also got stolen, but luckily found in the next city 3 hours later, sans rims/stereo and My Shaldan air freshener :lol:
