Softmod Depot

Well lately this site has been slow and my life has been busy so yeah. I have really nothing more to contribute to it but hey it's still a great place. I've been working on an 85 oldsmobile for a month in my autotech class at school and the thing is kicking my ass haha. My car is almost done. I hope the best for this forum and site and everyone here. My life has finally caught up I guess. College next year, family needs, job. Well I guess this is goodbye. It's been fun guys. I just don't have the time or the resources anymore. I don't even play games anymore.

I don't really come here for Modding or games anymore  ;)

It's just to post random stuff and talk to friends, Im sure you can take a few secs out of the day to post or look at new post  :P

Ps.. i am selling like ALL my gaming stuff, even my PS3,  I really don't care for gaming all that much anymore myself.

Sad day. Sorry i missed the original post. Well farewell rattmansam, been nice knowing you and hope your life goes great.

HAHA same here I just stop by to check in. but as for playing video games myself, I play as much as an hour a week lol.

But its been nice knowing you rattmansam, hope every thing goes great in your life.

see you later Bro :D

i know how you feel man, i dont play video games anymore unless my friends (real life, not form interwebs) play, but that is like every other night lol. between cars and work, I dont have much time to keep up with modding anymore however I have a big plan in the works modding wise for my car that I will post up in the next couple months when its done :) . I do like to come here and shoot the @#$% though.

Well guess who's back? Lol. Well apart from no college next year and all my family stuff sorted out indefinitely or at least for a year or so. I'm back. School is almost over and next week I finally get my license. I have my car done and running but let me tell you it's a real P.O.S. I had another car I was gonna get but well this just kinda fell on me since I already had it around. It's a purple 1997 mercury tracer. Let me tell you it is annoying. If I fix one thing another thing stops working. Lucky me I have a lot of extra wire and electrical tape.(jk jk) Anyway I got no college next year due to a financial situation. Haha. I am looking for a job but damn is it hard to get one in a small town. Well I'm back and have another xbox to replace my old 1.1 haha. I am kinda back in the gaming scene but I mostly play pc titles now cause well I have no 360 anymore.

I'm in the process of modding my Pontiac Bonneville. Supercharger, ported and polished, shift kits, etc etc... Anyway, wanna talk cars, come find me! I basically switched my modding life to a car life :D

Haha I am gonna buy some old cracked heads from the junkyard and practice port and polish myself as well as reseating valves and installing larger ones. Also I'm gonna try to buy a mitsu eclipse or something and mod that. Lol traded games for cars haha. 

I have 2 heads and a cracked intake I practiced my porting on. Great way to learn :D

Now if only I had money to continue my mods.... :p 2 jobs this summer and penny pinching should do it!

Me, i just added 4 3x4 Kicker speakers in to my lil Ford Ranger. I hope soon to find a hood and roof be cause it got some really bad hail damage. And I also need to find myself a tail gate latch, the plastic one to open the tail gate broke (Nothing good about "Made in the USA" about it. It was made in china) and that lil peace of plastic cost $60 dollars.

I refuse to buy most parts made in the usa. I usually order out of japan. I buy nippon-denso or other japanese ones from the parts stores. It's a little more expensive but they are made better than in the usa sadly. I can't get some parts for my car from japan so I'm forced to buy from motorcraft. It's a ford pos. The engine isn't bad but its over engineered so it has issues. It's quirky at best. I hate cvh engines but I like zetec engines cause I can get a lot of euro and japanese parts for it. I'm stuck with this for now though. So far I bought the car for 900 and put in another 900 so it'll run good yet it runs like complete s**t still. Misfire on 1 and 4. Bad coil pack I think. ECM has issues so sometimes it'll randomly stall. I finally got keyless entry remotes because I already had an alarm module when I bought the car. I put a new window motor in and I had to go buy a new valve cover for $200 from ford!! They wouldn't sell me an old style gasket. Fuckers!!! Never buy a ford honestly. They keep pulling this crap with me ohh theres an updated part so buy that. I now try to buy specifically after market if I can. I'm looking into a mitsu eclipse 98 rs. We'll see. I have to get a job but it's hard when you live in a small town that doesn't like white people. It's like %95 mexicans here so yeah.

95% mexican sucks! And if it randomly stalls and sometimes will crank, but not start, it could be the crank position sensor.

PS I HATE Fords!

Haha nope already checked it gets spark all times. It's just a funky coil pack.

I did as well :) going on my 4th project vehicle/tow vehicle so I can tow a track car.



dont get a eclipse, ive had friends that have had them (all 3 girls, so no racing or anything, well one thinks she is a racecar driver lol) and all have had problems one after another.

I switched my visions to a 300ZX. Lol Go nissan! Not only is there a huge market for nissans they are rock solid cars.

I'm an American car kinda guy. Well nowadays it's Chevy TRUCKS! Who needs a car when you can have a 500 horsepower towing BEAST!

And I have a pic of it hooked up to a 6 ton trailer (that's what the dump's scales read).

Pulled it like it wasn't even there.

that truck would look great if you fixed her up dude. Fresh paint, new interior, new bumpers, and some new tires; she would look badass.

Oh I plan on getting the headace rack re-chromed, then I'll spray fresh paint, take out the rust, put some trim back on it, and all that. The interior isn't bad, and the engine is strong. Just rusty and crappy paint haha.

The rims would be sweet if I took time to polish out the rusty areas. And the tires are still pretty good. They're 31 x 10.5 R15 LT. That's a pretty good size IMO.
