how was the ramp getting it off the platform in nawiliwili they tried the first ramp, that wouldn't work, car would have got stuck. they brought in another bigger ramp and i drove off the platform on the bigger ramp then the fork lift swung me around and placed me on the ground and drove off.

Yea, the ramp they put on mine was about 4 inches higher than the platform... Dragged the back half of the dub on it.

Congrats on your teg Mikey. Did u get a pretty cherry one? i found a rust free, under 100k mile db8. all the other ones i looked at had rust starting and was in the 130-170k mile range and was asking 6 and above and would not go lower. it was hard finding a stock or close to stock one, the only one i found had rust starting. the one i got is modified slightly. some people already saw me after i picked it up and got it registered and insured. i was drenched unstraping it from the platform. i'm sure you will see it. its pretty noticable. i was gonna buy a 98 ls 400 but as i told sherri earlier, using it as a daily driver would be hard since its so big, it wouldn't fit anywhere close to my work place and i would hate to park it by big save, too much careless people there. mean! like see pics mang! Yeah, my 99 was hard to find. the thing was vigin when I bought it except for some crazy ass american racing rims, but managed to sell those on craigslist. Mine was owned by a girl in her late 30s that just used it for work, so it was never modified. she had the rims jacked, and that's why had funkay american racing rims. but it took me close to 4 months to find a bone stock teg. as for the the ramp here, I don' see why the guys here can't just lift the oposite end of the platform with the forklift. thats what they do on the oahu end, and I got both my dropped integra and g35 on it. Luckily I just had to air up with the LS. 98 LS would have been nice, but yeah, sounds like the teg would be a better daily. I love my teg for daily beating.

Is it sitting in your mom's garage?!? If so...NICE FIND! Looks sick but hella low thats the one. its reallly not that low, maybe because the front is on the incline of the drive way, it looks lower. maybe i go post the pic of it on the platform in oahu.
