Addicted To Speed
Everybody who reads this magazine has the same addiction...cars. Sadly, other addictions prevail at times. Some of us, like myself, take a wrong turn and get lost along the way with drugs and alcohol.
Thankfully, I went to a free two-year program here in NC. Over 300 men and women work their asses off here for two years and no money in order to obtain sobriety. The program has various businesses that we all work in to keep the program free. Some of them make it, while some don't.
All the years I was using, I had dreams of having a great ride, something I could take to Virginia International Raceway for track days. Sadly though, when you are using, your priorities are skewed and sometimes dreams are put on hold until you wise up. Now that I'm doing the right thing, life is different. I finally have a great car ('06 Civic Si) that I adore and have high hopes for. I already have an intake, but of course money is an issue.
I hope you print this letter so anybody with addiction issues reading this can see that a better way is possible. It's so much more satisfying to mash on the gas and hear that intake sucking big air. When you're spending cash on drugs you really get nothing at all, but when you put money into your car you have something beautiful that will bring many hours of pleasure for years to come.

Work for free? Sounds like Primedia. Jokes aside, good luck with everything.

Like any other person who loves cars and can't afford them, I'm trying to find something to build as a track car. I want to build a drift car and am considering the 240SX because I'm not swimming in money like you guys. Anyway, what available swaps are out there for the 240s other than the SR? I've heard people using Skyline and Supra motors for swaps. Is this true and where can you direct me to get more information on them?

Swimming in money? That's a non-Primedia pool we'd like to take a dip in. Despite your slanderous claims, we'll answer your letter. If your bankroll's as deep as our kiddie pool, stick with the SR swap. For about $2.5-3k for a S13 front clip, you get a rather straightforward turbocharged drop-in. Call G-Dimension (626.839.3777) for more info. Or if you roll like Yamz-he goes to restaurants with real cloth napkins-check out the RB swap Jonny covered on p94.
Saved By The Belle
Well, it seems you idiots at Super Street have confused your sitcoms. In the calendar section of the January '07 issue (yes, I read the calendar section-I guess that makes me number eight), you guys mention it's Tiffani Thiessan's (doesn't go by Tiffani-Amber Thiessan any more) birthday and how "she'll always be the cute high school girl foiling Principal Skinner with Zack and the gang." Now if I remember correctly, Principal Skinner is from The Simpsons and Tiffani Thiessan played in Saved By the Bell. The principal you're looking for is Principal Belding. Makes me wonder what else you guys have messed up on throughout the years I've been reading this garbage. With that said, keep up the good work, you guys are awesome.

Five bucks says number eight over here is number six on restraining orders filed by Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, er, Tiffanni Thiessen or whatever she's going by now. Skinner was more of a badass anyway. - Kate Petre, Copy Editor

Wassup, guys and girls over at Super Street? I'm currently a high school senior, enrolled to go to Universal Technical Institute. Long story short, I'm stuck in a financial craphole. My mom is a single parent with two kids and works at a crappy place making a dollar more than I do working at a local Best Buy and can't afford UTI.
I was wondering if you could dig deep into your hearts and help me out a little bit, please. I was just wondering if maybe you could send a little money my way, or start some kind of fundraiser. Either that, or help me find a ride to Sacramento. If you want, I can send you pictures of my car, and trust me it's quite the bucket. I can also send you a high school transcript, but that's just so you guys don't think I'm some loser who says he's going to UTI but is really some high school dropout trying to hustle some money.

If you send us your address and transcripts, we'll hook you up with the Primedia scholarship special: a half-used pen, non-sticky post-its, old stickers and a quarter (maybe).

Currently I am a prisoner in a Federal concentration camp and am unable to work on my '92 240SX. I love your magazine, especially the tech articles. The only downside to my subscription with your great mag is the freeloaders here. After two days of receiving it, I find it's been passed around more than a $2 whore with all of her teeth at a truck stop. Thanks for all your hard work in putting together a literary masterpiece.
P.S. Do you think you could send me some pictures you have laying around the office? I got in trouble for cutting them out of the magazine-it's considered contraband. Here's some stamps, thanks.

$2 and all her teeth? Man, you need to tell us where you used to hang out. And Mike, watch out for your cornhole.
