Go to a rental car yard in your area, chutes out what’s the most common car, buy that.

Chrysler and Mitsubishi need to get back together and make another eclipse/laser/talon combo.

The world would’ve forgotten this in short order, especially when taken in consideration of the truly bad things that any company or individual does. Of course we also shouldn’t overlook the opportunity to shit on anything whenever possible. Well played, what kind of corporation are you?

They previously worked at a tier 1 supplier for BMW manufacturing bearings, but converted to full time BMW employees in the early 2000s.

This bullshit reminds me of speed channel when it first came out and the eventual watering down of quality programming.

Try to ship it overseas for profit.

I wonder what it’d do with heads cam and intake.

Not at all, I misread the last part of your post so I’m sorry if I sounded dickish. I had a wicked head injury during a car accident many years ago and am worried about that shit affecting me. Big rollover on the freeway, roof collapsed and forced my head out of the window chopping off an ear and then dragged my…

For me I also really like tinkering with cars and testing out different ideas. I’d be more nervous to mess with a six figure car than I am a more affordable one. So I get my hobby in with this. I may call up my insurance company to see if they’re able to cover the modifications for a slight premium.

This was a while ago but I got a premium for that parts and suspension work I had done to mine when I sold it. Not sure if I came out ahead vs returning to stock and unloading the parts, but it covered my honeymoon which was all I wanted.

Austin isn’t what it used to be for my wife and I.

If one was savvy enough to form a small business and writes down both the labor and the sale it may overall net a profit. For just a naked sale I’ve seen both profits and losses made depending on the car, market, seller’s reasons.

Your syntax and grammar make your comments difficult to read.

Ignorance is bliss and we have more information now. Decrying the existence and reasonable application of this knowledge is worse than offending those who choose not to endorse it.

Bikes are a bit different than cars. Pipes and jetting along with suspension mods enhance value. Hell different saddles increase the asking price.

Something I’ve noticed that bucks the modifying and decreased value relationship is a build that is well documented in a forum. They seem to fetch a higher price point than the typical unknown modded car.

Measuring the new center of gravity, roll center, bump steer, camber gain, and what not is an expensive bitch when playing with suspension mods.

This is true, but if you modify a 20-40k car to how you want it and you have to replace a fender, windshield, etc. it’s a lot cheaper than having to do so on the 80-100k car that was pretty close to how you’d want it.

Depends on the car, but it usually rushes the engagement of the syncros and increases the risk of a missed shift if you’re a bit too quick about it.
