This thread is basically just turning into a collection of "everything the remaining members of Zilvia complain about" thread, lol.

I wish I wasn't wired the way I am, but I will never be able to do it. I can't run a replica part even if it is more affordable or assembled with more care than the original. I can't run a set of TEs that are not coated with the original finish from the Rays factory, even if it's generic white and they were originally white. I have no idea why I am the way I am, but stuff like this drives me absolutely bonkers. No disrespect at all to those that do it because I love to see people seek a quality build and do things right, but it's something I personally will never be able to overcome. It's not because I am an elitist, it's because there is something wrong with me, hahaha.

One thing I have always found interesting is how upset people get about what others do with their cars. I'm definitely guilty of feeling the same way from time to time, but I have seen dozens of people say they are selling their S13 because of "all the young kids in the community ruining them." Shouldn't that be more motivation to keep yours and provide a good example? I won't say that some things people do don't bother me, I guess I have just never been so vocal about it. If you truly enjoy building and tinkering with your car, why should what anyone else is doing matter?

I'm just an overly sappy and nostalgic guy I guess, but I love these cars. They've provided me so much enjoyment and introduced me to so many good people that I now call friends over the years that I can't be bothered with the opinions and actions of others.

At this point posts like this on Zilvia are merely preaching to the choir, but it's cool to see an in-depth discussion with decent traffic like this around here. I miss those days so much, haha. Zilvia is great.
