    http://www.uobgaming.com/showthread.php?1049-Musicians That's one of my hobbies. I also like collecting music and books. Think my music library is just over the 1250 album mark and my book collection is about the same. One of my prized books is a limited publish mint condition of Dune bound in red leather with gold leaf edged pages.

    And yes, I did remove the wrapping when I received it just so I could look through it with sheer adoration. I also play a lot of tabletop games with friends/my wife.

    I think fixing cars (or at least the one I currently have) could be added as one of my hobbies. Not that I've ever before found any joy (or incentive for that matter) in repairing/honing mechanical thigamabobs, the newly bought (been at my care for only 2 months) toy has awaken somekind of a DIY mechanic from within.
    It took me this weekend, but now I've got thoroughly tarred roof (removed the rest of the original roofing cardboard and sandpapered all the rust off the roof and then coated it twice with antirust primer) and pretty quad of shining rims (bought me a set of used rims, looked quite nice to begin with, but as they were easy to handle, I decided to polish them with much vigor). Next on the list would be to get some sort of insulation to the roof and after that, putting up the fabric I bought to replace the old lining (stylish and nonchalant, dark blue velvet with crocodile skin pattern :D ).
    Gonna upload some pics later of the project.

    Here is my main hobby, that day at the races I was running extremely rich(to much gas so I was losing power) and a very low amount of boost(8lbs) Now my car is running top notch at 12lbs of boost and my best time without drag tires is a 13.7 @ 109mph I still have alot planned for the car and my aim is low 12s.

    my car is the black with red stripe

    very yummy, currently I'm stripping the ion apart in the garage to put the power train in one of my older saturn wagons to use as a daily driver parts hauler. Shooting for 280 to the wheels in a 2500lb car should make it entertaining. I wish I had your displacement but alas I'm not going to try to sink that much money in rebuilding the engine yet. Currently I'm running a 2.8, single pass, zzp he and 60's, puts 265 to the wheels according to their last dyno before selling it, but I did discover the hole in the intake from the nitrous tonight so I'm wondering if that was on the bottle or not. I had seen the hole in the fuel rail cover and had assumed that it was for a pressure gauge while dialing the injectors in but, the switch and button in the interior had me suspecting as much. I'm Jon2001sc2 on about every car forum so if your on the cobaltss forums you will see me on there lurking and buying parts along with ecotecforum and gmsportcompact. I rarely post outside of the older saturn sites since not much of what I'm doing applies to the other forums.

    holy shit poly! You have WAAAY too much free time on your hands.

    In other news (my hobbies) I just picked up a NERF N-Strike Elite Retaliator today. So that's one of mine: Modding and playing with NERF guns.

    The others are games (duh), reading, messing with my computer (and occansionally breaking it), and collecting swords.

    Yes I do. I actually did most of the work on those sitting at my desk at work. Jigglypuff took about 6 hours. The goddamned AT-AT took around 10-12 because I kept fucking up the feet. Bowser sits at around 12 hours and it's still not done but it's further along than that picture shows. Basically need to finish the head. I also rebuilt the shell about 3 times.

    I got around to getting some (least horrible) photos of the upholstery-project off my phone:

    There's still quite a bit to do, for instance there was no cardboard cradle for the roof (where you attach the fabric), but I might be able to buy one from a similar car.
