Finally the "title" mod!
 
Yes! Just made my last payment! Title should be in the mail soon.:D
:banana::disco:

It's like you just got a raise! Drinks on you? :P

van 2009-11-13 04:16 PM

Congrats!

Nick Koan 2009-11-13 06:06 PM

Awesome! A few more months left for me.

WRX06TR 2009-11-13 06:34 PM

Sweet! Mines almost done too...then I'm selling it haha.

Kevin M 2009-11-13 07:15 PM

Yeah, there's a downside to the pink slip mod- it makes it so much easier to just trade it in on an STI!

Dean 2009-11-13 07:30 PM

I'm waiting on the same thing for my house!!! Congrats.

Or to just sell it in, make back all that money you've invested in it, and build an awesome GC!

Kevin M 2009-11-16 03:50 PM

Yeah, but that is WAAAAAYYYY more effort. :lol: When the day comes that I have more money than time, I won't be building my project cars anymore.

Libila 2009-11-16 05:26 PM

You guys are no fun...

Kevin M 2009-11-16 07:04 PM

Trust me man, it's only fun once. :lol:

Libila 2009-11-17 02:08 PM

All of my other cars have only been lightly modified so I'll have to take your word for it ;)

Kevin M 2009-11-17 02:35 PM

After a mildly modded RS, a mildly modded Miata, 2 mildly modified wagons, and 2 complete tear-down swaps... yeah, I'm kinda over it.

cody 2009-11-17 03:33 PM

I've always been "over it". I really don't see myself ever going further than "stage II" on any car.

Kevin M 2009-11-17 03:49 PM

Oh, I'm not over wanting a faster car. I'm over spending dozens and dozens of hours building one if I don't have to. :lol:

cody 2009-11-17 03:54 PM

Exactly. Buy a fast car or do some easy mods to make it fast or both. I apreicate swaps but I also apreciate my lack of patience with working on cars.

MPREZIV 2009-11-17 04:13 PM

Phh... pussies. If I didn't make it fast myself, I don't wanna drive it!








But that's a part of what I do. There's a sort of pride involved in what I've been able to do with the cars that I've built. I totally agree with someone who doesn't do what I'm able to do simply buying a fast car. It just makes sense.

Libila 2009-11-17 05:35 PM

See, I want to be able to do what Corey does so naturally I agree. When I wanted "the easy way out" I bought an STi and I wasn't happy with it even though it was great fun and I sold it after about a year of owning it. Now I have a crappy L and I'm loving it.

My mildly modded L is great but the nickel and dime stuff breaking is a pain. I want a car that I can just buy parts for, no hunting down jdm bits or having to build my own shit.

I've read similar responses from other guys that did JDM engine swaps.

If you could do it again would you have gone USDM or not bothered swapping at all?

jdm, it cost about 1/3 as much as a usdm swap. Best bang for the buck.
If I had to do it again I would have sent my harness to ecs instead of crappy garage tuning.
