Yeah I know there's rules and limitations on this stuff. I didn't really want to do it too many times because it is too stressful and time consuming when I'm trying to focus on school. But there is another car that I considered...I just don't think it would sell. It's a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0, needs a windshield and headlights to pass inspection and the guy wants $950. I would offer him $800 and try to sell for $1500 to $2000, but it just seems really risky, especially since it was engine swapped from a 4 cylinder, so I bet the rear axle is still a 4 bolt and was probably done in someone's garage. Just seems like a trap.

I'm trying to make some fast cash to get to my savings goal quicker. I am considering buying a Honda Civic DX, manual, 186500 miles, priced for $2000. Seems like a good first car/daily driver that would sell pretty easy. It has two broken hubcaps, so I can put two new matching hubcaps on it from ebay, and then sell it just a little shy of KBB value, which is about $3000. I am a little nervous about it, as I don't like letting go of my money, but it seems safe. What are your opinions on this? Am I foolish? Edit: Year 2000

You're probably right about the wrong category...oops. I rely on the general audio section too much. and off topic section. I guess I'm used to it. Besides, what fun is life if you can't take a joke. I know I say dumb shit, so I gotta take the abuse for it too. -

I was the OP and I wasn't offended haha. Unless something horrible was said while I was at work. -

System Rebuild Preview

Hey, no need to make fun! I spent a long time trying to tune this with the best line I could get in WinISD. Look at my curve before you judge, I was happy with it! I will have pictures on the way within the next couple days...I don't know if I want to start a new build log or not. And what is it with SMD and mainstream brands? I definitely considered a DC Level 2 10...the new ones they just released. But the new P3 was more suitable for the constraints of my box. And it's about 2 pounds lighter. Sorry I'm too mainstream for you. I don't follow the "trends" I guess. -
Hey guys, it's been a long time since I posted much of anything with substance in here. I don't have any pictures yet, but I officially sold my 2 P3's with the ported box for $170 (I only paid $180 for the subs lol!). I am unfortunately having to downsize so I can transport my drums for band activities. My boards are already cut for the new box. This one is made of Birch and will be stained with a light natural stain and lacquered. Same goes for the amp rack or wall that will go across my trunk. It will be a ported box for one of the 2012 series P3 10" woofers using an aeroport! I'm very excited for this one and it should be hitting the lows real nice since I tuned it to 20 htz. Well, there's my preview. P.S. I got Pioneer's DEH7200HD for Christmas and it is the shit! Everything sounds 50 times better than before. Even 256 kbps music.

I've thought about it many a time...but I'm just more of a V8 guy. I'm not saying they're better or anything, but it's just what I grew up around. Pretty much waiting until I can get an LX 5.0 notch! -

Yeah well like I said up top, I don't really care that much about the gains...it's more just for fun. I just like to do stuff, you know? -

Modify an ebay intake into a ram air Sounds like a possible idea. Good way to weigh your options carefully! I can check for just a pipe...hard to find parts for this car in abundance and variety though. -
I'm trying to find easy ways to save money on my car projects so I can do more modifications more frequently. Typically, I am a firm believer in "You get what you pay for." However, is a $200 to $300 ram air intake really necessary for an engine that won't yield high results to begin with (GA16DE)? I am only hoping to gain a few horsepower. It's mostly just for fun. So, my question is: Am I a fool to buy a $40 to $50 intake kit off ebay or am I just a smart shopper? Opinions please!

Yeah I will eventually if I keep the car long enough. Do you know how much something like that would typically cost? I would want my front and rear seats redone in leather/suede, matching door and rear trim inserts, along with a suede headliner. Possibly fresh carpet. Depends on the shop and car man Oh okay. I'm sure it's a little pricey. It's definitely not at the top of the list, considering all the body/paint damage and mechanical work that should be done. I mean it's a solid car because I take care of it, but gorgeous leather/suede interior in a beat up 200sx would just look silly haha.

I would really like to get some 1995 - 1999 G20 leather seats for my car, but I can't find any. I did find some Audi leather seats that don't have the brand anywhere on them though. I am thinking about swapping them in, but how hard is it to fit rear seats from a completely different car? I'd imagine I would need a lot of luck for the fitment to be right. I just thought I'd ask though.
