not gonna lie, at one point in my life I thought the Veilside RX7 and 350Z were the coolest cars in the world lolol.... and civic with neon under glow LOL

just like how my younger cousin thinks rocket bunny, liberty walk and RWB are the coolest cars ever....

I think we all eventually move to oem+ once you get older...

I think one thing you learn after modifying cars for 20 years is the 99% of aftermarket parts fit like shit, and that same 99% of the time you just make your car worse haha.

Top Secret Supra was best Supra, I just realized after dumping no questions asked amount of money on mods into the car, you will never get it back when you want to upgrade and move on to a more expensive car. FeelsBadMan so only minor mods for now or buy a car that someone else has dumped a lot of money into.

And that's how I ended up in a M3 because I was sick and tired of modding and wanted to pay for a car that works out of the box.

Then I put on coils :whistle:

Sometimes OEM aftermarket stuff pans out if you have a car long enough… some of the most expensive aftermarket parts you can even buy for the MR2 for example are the TRD parts… kits or suspension shit… gauge clusters…

trollface 05-14-2022 08:39 AM

I have a feeling a real rare body kit is actually worth some coin.

westopher 05-14-2022 09:02 AM

It’s worth something for sure, but it isn’t 100k, and it sure looks bad.

im a old fuck and i still think rocket bunny/liberty walk/ is cool.... :megusta:
Kinda want a widebody kit on my LC.

whitev70r 05-14-2022 11:15 AM

One of these cars that you rarely see on sale, at this price, not a 'good' buy. Maybe around $6K would be a decent buy for this mileage. 205-2006 are the better years for the auto trans

2005 V70 T5, 210K kms, ~250 hp sleeper wagon that can be tuned to 275hp ish, $8500.

hahaha... I am super torn...

Like I love to see RCubed's full combo FK8 or CW's R34s on the road.

But personally, I would daily Matsuda's Golf R all day everyday, maybe some minor tune (that doesn't sacrafice drivability) under the hood, but no exhaust as I want it to be under the radar + some classy rims that doesn't shout to the police.

Before it was always moar low + more aggresive off-set rims so they are more flush, nowadays all the german oem cars are already low af... so lowering is not needed any longer...and oem rims came a long way in off-set and design....

Roach 05-14-2022 02:41 PM

This doesn't seem bad. Decent mileage. Stick. On the island but I found it kind of interesting:

Just be like me, quieter exhaust than stock :badpokerface:

that's a great buy - sports seats + manual in a sedan seems exceedingly rare.

tofu1413 05-15-2022 02:23 PM

Rarely see row your own plus the xdrive.

Nice buy. Great alternative to a similar era WRX.

Qmx323 05-16-2022 04:41 PM

Probably not the best buy price wise but the right buy for the right person

That's tempting as hell. I would totally buy it for a non-supply shortage price of $10k..... Not 17k.

westopher 05-16-2022 05:21 PM

Ehhh honestly with 35k e36 m3s, and 50k type Rs, thats a sick nostalgia car, RWD, low milage, great colour, and Manuel which is super rare. I'm down with it even at that price. Needs a set of meisters and coils and you've got a heavy hitter for 25k.
I lusted after one in high school.

*could* be a good buy if you're lucky enough to get it for cheap

This was a 15K car pre-covid anyway tho. I remember looking for one in 2017 before my 330ci. 10K for a molested one or 10K for a super high mileage 190K km one

Stop trying to goad me into doing the thing that would have me sleeping on the couch.
