What car

Any car. But I can see how it differs depending on what kind of car.

If you guys had $5k, what would you rather spend it on, go fast mods or show bits?

I'm all for reliability. I can't be throwing money on big power mods and would rather enjoy a nice looking ride for daily showing.

Since I have the cosmetics out of the way, I would say go-fast shit. $5k can go pretty far if you're good at budgeting and know what the fuck you're doing.

My goal is 250whp N/A. With a side of laughing gas for fun.

Oh no

I think I'm ordering some Works again today. Someone tell me it's a bad idea

That is a fantastic idea. I <3 my Works.

Clearly you know absolutely nothing about H22's.


Here's 325hp on Blake's motor.

If I wanted to listen to 3 minutes of Nickelback, I would just kill myself, since I'm going to hell anyhow.

Oh yeah, and this: Utterly impractical, but brilliant for just tearing shit up (like your tires).

I'll see you there buddy. My family has a bus going down. We can pick you up on our way.

Maintenance above all. Nothing bothers me more than when someone modifies a POS that barely fucking runs instead of making it run flawlessly. Then it would be aesthetics. I mean... if the car had a decent motor I would do an exhaust and intake (also depending on motor). Most BMW come with a CAI factory and replacing it is just retarded unless you're going FI. I used to say my style of modification is "less is more". I no longer say that because retards now use that phrase as a way of getting out of doing anything more than bolt-ons to their cars. I enjoy mods that unless you really know the car... you would never even notice. Those small things are what makes me happy every time i see/drive my vehicles. I did not keep the M3 long enough nor did i care to spend any lengths of time on it because it was a junker, but in the past with my cars nothing made me happier than having a mint OEM+ interior. Like i said... minor changes that did not come factory etc. The mercedes already has 2 tone now and I am retro-fitting rear vanity mirrors from an older caddy that match the interior perfectly. It will eventually have some sort of rear tray tables.... shit like that.

So you're gunna drop like 8k into that shit heap of a motor?

I'll take a K bomb.

My roommate cory has the same views. Between his E38, E23, E30 and jeep he has every cool factory option they had available and more that he added himself. Its awesome because normal nut swingers look at the car and don't think its anything special, but people that know the cars can instantly pick out what he has done.

As long as my car runs, I can see past the boring wheels and paint job. Once something goes wrong all I want to do is sell it and move on.

again... I don't understand how a center support bearing has anything to do with the conversation we are having.

Hondas can make "ok" power for about a month..... and then they blow up.

Subtle mods are the best. Looking like stock, and only people who know the platform well enough will tell them apart.
