I've been told it's pretty quick by some other friends.

"Quick" to most people is a stock 200 hp car.

ok kracka i cant keep it because i already paid the $25 to put it up on carsoup haha

Honestly, I don't get why everybody thinks I should keep it. I finally have it running great and it's probably at it's peak point and worth just that. I don't plan on keeping this car forever.

Keep it because it is running great and at its peak! DSMers all strive for a great car, but as soon as that goal is met they're listed for sale. I drove mine until the engine finally let go, parted it out, and made more money than it was ever worth whole.

^how'd you make more money that way? Unless you have a built up motor I don't see how any dsm could part out for over $4000.

Maybe I should just have you part it out and keep some of the profit hahaha. Not for a while though.

I parted out my '94 Talon TSi (FWD) for over $12k, and that was with a rod-knocking engine.

Selling every single little piece off the car. I spent about 3 months doing it, but it was actually pretty fun b/c every time I took off a part it would bring back memories of me installing that part.

Awww.


But yeah, parting out does generally bring a lot more money. Obviously can take more time than just selling the car, but it does bring in more money. You're not going to sell it or part it, I think that's obvious. The question is, what will you get next? You've already gotten/sold a goped...

Get a Ruckus or a Zuma.
