What's funny is... buy the Honda Civic of the Bay and then put so much money/energy into making it "unique". Why not just buy a unique vehicle?
That’s what I said about modding too, and all the K04 Bois got AF.
Do you even car culture scene points
I mean I mod... but I also agree. Modding can be fun and if you have a set purpose in mind and understand it's , why not?
It does seem silly to destroy the reliability of a when the whole point of the car is jack-of-all-trades daily. FWD sucks for putting down power anyway, why not just buy an actual quick car at that point? Stage 1/2 would be where I'd draw the line for a FWD daily.

I was told “throttle modulation” when I pointed out that more than 300whp is to the fronts...
E30 Tourings go for a lot less than that.
That's too high miles. If it had been gone through 100% mechanically, and the rest was in great shape, possibly.
Also "Car runs great and it is fitted with factory 2. 5 M20 Engine and mated to a rare switchable manual transmission"
It's the same Getrag 260 that's in mine. what this "switchable" is.

You can switch it to first or 4th or 5th! It’s epic tech bro ! New cars only have the D and R gears, this car has 1-5+R so it is 3 times better
$8500 for a farkled 4th gen 4R V8 with relatively low miles
Actual tablet in the dash.
Those chinese electronics
Based on 30 minutes of quick searching, I think a 4th gen 4R or an older JGC is where I should look. Both are still sellable in bashed up condition but cheap enough to not really care about. If I do the JGC thing I'll probably be in touch with you on things to look out for.
I think I'm a bit less likely to commit seppuku in one of those vs a 10 year old Chevy Cruze.

$5K of city damage later, it'll still be $7K though? Seems like a reasonable choice.
The advantage here is depreciation will not exist on this thing. It's only damage. Figure $3k lit on fire by purchasing. $3k loss if it's got dents all over it. $6k to own it for a couple years. I mean that's less than any new car will be in just depreciation. It's overpriced but
The real trouble with this one is I'll for sure get fucked on a trade.
