the dealership wants to sell parts and service. New cars have no real profit for them. Now that zylon, rubber mats, 500 lock nuts, those are gold

yup, basically. I know the hard "cover" works because i put one on one of my S13's and moat people wont notice the difference, it bends at the right places so it doesnt look out of place.

By the was, expect to lose about 30% of any investment you make in the car that is not a simple diy project. That includes tires, mechanical and body work. this applies to most minor house updates too.

I would recommend against detailing the exterior or engine bay for a sale. What I usially do is that I send it to get detailed (headlight restoring is crucial) a week or two before my planed sell period, and then let dust accumulate naturraly in the exterior and engine bay, while keeping the interior perfectly clean.…

They sell a hard vinyl cover for the g35's that you glue with double sided tape on top of the old one, and it doesnt look as bad as a fabric cover. They also sell dash restoring kits, but they are a pain in the ass to use.

I knew it was an Infiniti g35 the moment I read about hairline cracks in the dash.

He worked at a Pep Boys or something, no need to be the brightest crayon out of the box to work there. I think this was a modern version of the car he was referring to, and even those wont have coilovers (struts would be the right answer here). Finally, it doesn't make sense that the strut shaft didn't fly around the…

I once bought two of these for 250 dollars lol

Battery actually goes here, one of the reasons they caught fire was that the rear seat springs would short the battery and the spark would light up the seat filling material.

Define "limited"

well, we got 5 point harnesses left over from am older project of ours, and a set of wheels too. We are looking up places than can fabricate the rollbar, and as soon as w have the car in the driveway is gonna be cleaned of everything unnecesary. We will still need to buy coilovers and bushings, but i say we are…

loving it! Its a dream! I'm just going to order the evo3shortshifter and some track tires for a set of rims a friend has for me. Right now is up in jacks for its fluid changes etc, but its all i wanted.

hey man, thanks for all the tips. I decided for the ZHP because I had an offe I couldn't reject and because of maintenance costs for a DD are really important. I got a ZHP sedan, manual, black on black, for $6700. It has some sratches here and there, and the rood an hood could use some love, but it lookds brand new…

I have to say I'm in love with both cars! I still havent made a choice and no good owner has something bad to say about either. I guess I will wait til the last week of february and decide on the best deal I find then.

well, Puerto Rico is a part of the US (read: colony), but here Mitsubishi had a huge prescence in the late 80's to 90's

Here in PR they are extremely common, and you can see them bare bones with mud tires or completely stock, even with factory paint. They are so good, I got mine completely underwater, only my pvc snorkel and the roof out of the water, and it didnt stall or flood!

The funniest part is that operating a Cat 'dozer is easier than driving a stock 240sx in the twisties.

Tha ks for this, Torch

I had one of these! No doors (2-door model), no tailgate, no side glass, no carpets! Pure offroad! Best thing ever, and super high mpg! and it was PINK!
