Does it matter ? $500 buys a nice set of shocks and they are not hard at all change. What else can someone buy that is German, rwd, i6, great looking and will run for another 70-100k with little to no issues, for 5k. If you can work on it yourself and don’t mind it then it’s no big deal. Anything u...

New tires are good. Much quieter than my worn down set. Car is now as quiet as my 335i was which is :impressive: considering that car was running on :225: pizza cutters. but the fact that the tires only last 15-25k miles is pretty :mindblown: :disgust: PSS tires are the best tires for performance I ...

Right. The purest form of that is karting as the vehicles are all “the same” as opposed to racing a veyron in a gti. Auto X is fun but the time investment is insane

but when you pass a veyron in a GTI

:aintcare: enough about other people and measuring myself against them in such a matter. Indoor go kart racing is far more fun for that. All things are equal and you just check out who is the better driver. No need to set the entire day on fire either. Everyone's got different priorities. :iono: I'...

The "boat anchor" is actually a far better engine from a powerband perspective for the :jeep: it has much of the power down low and doesn't like to rev. Reving the jeep out to keep up with traffic is simply :disgust: And I'd skip the pre PentaStar JKs, too many issues. Shitty transmission...

Dem sport seats. I'd get something more like that if I wanted to keep working on cars.

Price of entry is so cheap it seems pretty low risk

Im open to it too. There is a whole trend in China to have women vacation in the US as their due dates approach. I'm all for the Central Americans coming here. Their food is better and they want to be here and work and live here. The Chinese are doing it to for shits and giggles. Seems wrong. "...

For my own knowledge how much are the fees for Auto X and how much actual racing can you get done? For me out here it was :disgust: so far... 4 sub 1 min runs before + $50 fee +$20 in gas driving not to mention wear and tear on the car... and that was 1 event only :( There is no actual racing in au...

You're confusing autox with actual racing. That is super expensive and requires a dedicated car. Autox requires only a dedicated set of tires.

Yea I’m sure a prince from Abu Dhabi has no issues slaying his local auto x. But that isn’t the point we’re all poors here and this type of hobby costs more than a drug addiction It's really not that bad, just more than I can afford pal. You could do it if you wanted... $5k/year would allow you to ...

I was super surprised when you went from the C5 to the MR2, let alone the latest move. :notsure: After doing some Karting the other day, It is a far more attainable hobby.

Have you driven a 6MT I don't know i'd sign up fo dat

I'm sure it would be fine for crawlin' some woods and beaches.

Even the 5 speed is far more livable for a daily. The is just not set up for driving.

Isn't the lack of movement a good thing? :plac: Good thing if you plan to buy an ND2 or Focus RS, band thing if you own an ND1 or :wankel: Got it... So a more competitive vehicle encroached on that space. Where did you list your car for sale? Man, those are some :impressive: levels of :plac:
