So.. Today is the day..

Goodluck, it's your first day and you know what i'm going to say it. You will fail. How do i know this? I am a smoker myself and i smoke a lot less than you ( About 10-15 cigarettes a day) and everytime i try to quit the first 3 days are fine. Untill the nicotine goes out of your system and you can not sleep well and probably you are going to gain some weight. 

What i reccomend is the best method IMO to really fully quit. Not E-cig's or all that but just really simple.

 

You smoke 1.5 pack a day so try to only smoke about 20 every day. After a month or so smoke 15 do this for a half year and gradually build it off untill you reached 1-2 a day. This is a CRITICAL point many people fail by Quitting now but ( And yes this may sound weird.) you need to smoke 1-3 cigarretes a day for a year or so. After that you will realise that it's not worth it anymore and you will eventually quit without even thinking of quitting.

My tactic to smoke less is smoke somthing ''different ( See my location )

Drove a volvo for a while. I wasn't a fan. And a welded rear diff made it really twitchy. 

Im a function over form guy. So i won't be stancing my car + it makes them uncomfortable as all hell.

This is my baby

A 190E 2,3 8v sportline that might soon be a 190E RB26DETT

 

good luck with quitting smoking but don't stop having fun

I've tried quitting many times before. But those times it was because of outside influence. This time i've made up my mind

I did step down to half a pack a day before this. But now i've smoked the last one and i don't intend to purchase anymore cigs.

I Do not reccomend this way of quitting, some people can pull this off ( My dad but he smoked for 15 years...) but most fail with this method. Anyway goodluck and i edited my post for a ''pro'' tip

I had honestly forgotten that it was the 4th

why quit smoking? smoking feels good!!!!!!!!!!!!! smoking won't let you age much (since you'd die younger). heck 1.5 packs a day ain't so bad I normally smoke 2-3 packs of marlboro a day. so most likely I won't live as long as you.

 

anyways good going mate. back in 2010 up to 2012 I stopped smoking but ever since I got drunk on a party hey it went back I dunno how. I was drinking then the next day I woke up I got a cig on my hand. hope you quit it soon. but kinda hard you do get those feels those itch.

 

edit: it's the may 5 for me

[nosirrah123]

Holy crap it's the 4th? 

I really picked a good day to quit Now i can celebrate every year with a star wars marathon

 

There is a blog section? I never knew.. Yeah i'll do that^^ 

Im already working on yet another book since i need to keep my hands occupied.... Going to wear out this k95 in no time

 

I've already eaten a bag of chips... I am going to get soo damn fat by the end of this...

 

I can't... They start fighting.. That was the bloodiest thumb wrestling match in history.. With swords and everything..

 

It doesn't affect my tax returns so i don't care 

I might post in this thread to keep a log of my non-smoking days. Or i might start blogging

 

That i'll do. FOR COILOVERS!

 

My mom starts bitching the second she puts out her last ciggy... So i know some people can't resist it. 

But so far in my other attempts i haven't bitched at anyone that smokes^^ 

The blog section is in your profile I think.

Yeah. Im going to miss my bensons and luckies. (couldn't smoke marlboro.. For some reason i got hiccups when i did) 

And that thing about smoking when you drink i know all too well. But as luck would have it i don't drink much anymore

I hope for the best of your health there brother.

 

once you stop just avoid it. since I bet you do know. It's hard to stop but it's so freaking mother of God easy to start over again.

Yeah.. Last time i caved completely after a few beers. It was basically this

You'll realise how much it's worth it when you get the coil overs 

PUT SOME CAMBER ON!!!!!!

Then do a huge drift down the street as a reward lol.

 

Function IS going sideways everywhere IMO, thats it's definition in cars.

[CatCloud]

Good luck! One less chimney in the world makes me happy!

Just think of all that gold you save and you should be fine!

And may the 4:th be with you!

I won't be putting more camber on it than there already is. I've never really understood the whole MUST HAVE CAMBERR! thing. 

And it won't be drifting for a while. 200nm's of torque and an open diff.

It's all about JDM.  I'm a huge JDM and drift fan (also American Muscle), so I love skyline's, R34's, BMW's with camber. The camber thng comes from JDM in general. Go over to japan and all the cars basically have some sort of camber. Plus, if it's done right, it looks boss.  Nice car though, can't say it looks like it would go sideways.

Yes i know what the camber thing comes from. But the whole stance culture is just odd to someone like me. I'd rather maximise grip and set my car up for stable and flat cornering.

With some work it'll go sideways without even breaking a sweat. Especially if my plans for the RB engine or possibly the engine from a merc 300CE-24 come through.

I'll be living in japan for a year+ in the future. (Hunting down a C10 skyline or a C110)

Some people like to go there the easiest way, some just like to make smoke. I guess it's just different tastes. I personally dislike formula 1, nascar, V8 supercars ect ect, but I can sit there for hours and watch formula drift. Going side ways is the only way for me  .  Australian car culture sort of encourages that though. Summernats is just about making the most smoke you can, not going fast, just making smoke. I love it!!!

As for a C10. I have seen some beast custom jobs. Wheel tubs, camber, lowered with a couple of dials on the bonnet. Looks boss. Not really liking the c110, but each to there own, and good luck!!!!

Good luck man! This is really refreshing to hear, I'm definitely going to be following this

Day 2.

just hold it in mate. why don't you try going to the ocean if you can borrow a boat or something and make sure no packs are there. bring some wine and a women and some canned food good for 2 or 3 days. it might help.
