don't think you'd have an issue. sti's seem to sell pretty quickly. but you're def not getting anywhere close to what you put into it. but you know that... we all know that haha

People can't even seel stock cars for even close to what they are worth. I don't think modded or stock will effect value all that much as that kinda car is usually bought by someone who wants to mod it to begin with. Won't bring in extra cash and may hurt the value, but hey.... atleast it will be fun til then.

HickRocket1258 01-06-2010 11:17 AM

As said you wouldn't get any money back, but some kid out there would be willing to buy it after doing those kinds of things.

Oakes 01-06-2010 11:18 AM

Ummmmmm

I call buying it, so there.

Put your hands down silly goose. Its a hypothetical.

Since this is my first project car, i am still trying to figure out how it plays out when you decide to start another project. I kept all the original parts. I guess i could always put those back on and trade it in for the next car.

*keeps hand up*

I would say, that once you've done pretty much all the bolts on that you can, as in more mods would = ripping the engine apart and building it, having enough power to require a cage, or to do anything more would cost 10s of thousands of dollars. Or it could be a point, you get the car to a happy medium...enough power to keep you happy and handles like a race car while still being streetable.

Keeping the original parts can be a HUGE plus, cause you can probably make more money back on selling the aftermarket parts and get the same asking price for the car itself.

what is your schedule like in the next week or so.....i think we have to have a meal so i can pick your brain about the your experience.

Meeshell 01-06-2010 11:30 AM

Wow chief... Sounds pretty boring.

Ok ok. I'm done, I just had to- two days in a row

Motivation to work is pretty promising today. Sent a health insurance claim yesterday to get $750 back from all my hospital and doctors visits from my vein infection... And got my boss to sign my tuition reimbursement form so I'll be getting $2k back in a week or so from that too. Plus payday on Friday. Sheesh. I'm just rolling in moniez.

Doctors appointment tomorrow that I'm not really excited about though... Stoopit biopsy. I'm scurred.

I'm still shocked it took yours that long to sell, the mods on the car were worth half the selling price at least. Granted your miles were higher, the car was flawless all around.

Angelo, I think your next mods should be suspension. Those cars are a BLAST with proper suspension and decent power, pretty much the power you have now is definitely enough to keep you happy for a little while. Not that I would know...

Oakes 01-06-2010 11:31 AM

Oh...and I got a raise btw. WIN!

Stop being such a girl.......scared about a biopsy.......gosh?


Seriously, i hope it turns out ok. These biopsy procedures are just a safety precaution. If something was wrong the dr would already be able to tell given other blood tests or sypmtoms that you would alredy be showing. Dont be scared senorita.

teeheee....

it already has thicker sway bars, upgraded end links, rear bushings, and wider tires and wheels. what would you suggest in the future?

Oakes 01-06-2010 11:41 AM

Jon would know best what overall suspension set up to go for, it definitely needs a drop for both handling and looks and that, in my eyes, would complete the exterior. Aside from a moderate tint to the windows, throw in some strut tower bars as well, stiffen that baby up! I live for back roads though, so my choice of mods may be different.

I'm not one to need 600hp for my style driving, 300hp is already a lot for a street car, but unless this is seeing track time as well. I'm more for reliable fun, not ungodly fast/scared to take a turn. I should really take you on my favorite back roads, even in my Fusion, ask Marcus how it is.

angdefeo 01-06-2010 11:46 AM

i agree with you on the horse power. i dont know where my car is today but the power feels sufficent for the type of driving i do.

why cant i send Jon a message here? was he a bad boy and cut that privelage taken away?

Nick what is your schedule for next week or so? Other than spending time with your girl will you be free to get together with Jon and I to talk cars?
