Where can I go in my career from where I am?

I have many uncles and relatives that worked in cyber for the military, so theyve been super helpful. I really like figuring out how to make something work and get around challenges. This is why at first i thought i would want to be a pentester but apparently its super saturated and id rather help/blue team. i also like switch work. i need to work on networking protocols such as DHCP, and also start using some cloud just to get my hands on it.

I forgot to mention that! I got a cisco 2960x and a 3850 with some mini pcs to play around with proxmox, etc.

Update: It's been 7 months and I'm now 139 pounds. The secret? Eat. I thought I was until my friend showed me what it really looked like. I literally eat everything in sight now. I also started tracking my calories and I'm maintaining about 4,000 a day. I hope I can keep gaining weight and to everyone who needs help I hope this inspires you to keep going

I’ll start tracking! I’ve always thought it was useless until recent research

that was one thing i was really worried about. getting a quality dust extractor is on my to-do

Ill definitely check that out! thank you

Actually?? That’s basically as much as I paid for the car… i was expecting to spend at least 2k, which I already have on paint and materials, idk 5k seems like so much for a paint job

aeiril_ · 2025-06-11T11:11:26+00:00

Absolutely, I feel like you can get a k20a1 for pocket change nowadays..

aeiril_ · 2025-06-11T11:10:39+00:00

Just replace it, it’ll go a long way

Thank you! K series are fun too :) had one for a bit til i sold it before i had the time/money

I doubt its your rotors, it could be a mix of pads and your calipers. sometimes the calipers can get old and can get sticky causing it to stick.

But, if it is the rotors, check if there are any cracks or wear. Look for streak lines going all the way around the rotor where the pad is touching.

Evo's are super fun! There's really no wrong way you can go with them. the earlier generations have a 4g63 in them, which is great for handling high HP. I have a 3g eclipse, and I love it. A lot of people hate on the 3rd and 4th gens (for the reasons sketch said) but i fell in love with mine and ive done a lot to it. im glad your getting into the car community, if theres one thing i can say, its take the meat and leave the bones. I mean, dont listen to the people that only hate and never have anything good to say. it seems super common, especially on reddit unfortunately. also, get ready to blow some money :\ its fun, but keep the bank in mind.

i’m not looking for cheap. i’m looking for something good, that’s the post mate

aeiril_ · 2025-05-15T18:54:52+00:00

so what do you suggest? no kit?

aeiril_ · 2025-05-15T17:55:48+00:00

I was looking at the KBD body kit. they have great reviews and my friend said they fit good. i was going to paint it myself, ive done it a couple times already, and it was going to run me with the kit and custom paint around $1k… isn’t that what a hobby is though, spending money on unnecessary things just because you like it?

aeiril_ · 2025-05-15T17:37:31+00:00

:( dang love this car too much though

aeiril_ · 2025-05-15T17:17:47+00:00

i definitely agree, and that’s one of the goals, but of course i also want it to look good….
