Good, here's a cookie for well done effort

Yes we know these motors are built like tanks, your sounding like the guy who sold me my SE-L with a tank motor too...



Did I forget to mention it was a Sludge Tank?

That's a lie and you know it, or maybe you don't. The only two decent transmissions that the SR20 motors saw was the P11 and the B15 ones 5 speed ones. Everything else garbage.

The gears are narrow, with third gear being amazingly, dumfoundedly narrow. The shafts are spindly and unsupported with wide spans between bearings which allow gear spreading flex. The transmission case is thin and weak; it cracks and flexes allowing the gears to spread apart reducing the tooth engagement precariously and making things even more likely to fail.

I'm glad you are taking it well. We have seen it all, so there is no fooling us. I would be happy if I got $5k with that car. Especially with that many miles. Heck even P11's are not as highly priced by private peers.

Take all we say with a grain of salt, we tend to be tough on stuff that we know is overpriced.

Justin's car is easily worth 10k if not more. His car also breaths fire like a midieval dragon that is about to fucking destroy an entire city.

Thanks for the cookie, I was hungry, but next time send over some milk...

That motor looks awful. Did you get that pic from a junk yard or did you really buy that car/motor?

Worth= monetary or material value.
Opinion= a view, judgment or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter.
Buyer= someone who forms an opinion about the worth of an item.
Seller= the person benefits from the buyers opinion about the worth of an item.
Everything else= does not matter.

Seriously folks, I know the cars real value and my personal value as it is what I like, want and enjoy. To others its value is whatever they believe it to be. 500 or 50,000, doesn't matter, if someone is willing to pay for it, I am willing to accept it.

Why should we sell our projects for next to nothing? Granted we never get what we invest, but we have worked our @$$es off, most of us doing the work ourselves, saving up for this or that part, researching for hours on what not to do etc. If we can make some of what we spent, shouldn't we?

If someone here wanted he car, do you really think I'd ask 7500.00 for it? No way, but if someone out there off forum wants it and has the money I'm asking, should I not take it?

We love our rides, no matter what we've done to them, bone stock, or fully modded. So if someone else decided that our ride was worth something and were willing to pay us for it, why shouldn't we accept?

For a dd, she works just fine and has done me right. I truly do expect her to be driving in another five or ten years. Call me ignorant, but I believe that if I treat it well it will return the favor. (normal wear and tear aside)

I found this ride for sale on a custom site and it makes mine look silly.... http://justcustomz.com/gallery/page.php?category=for_sale_muscle&name=ronaldJR660... but so what... I posted mine there ... if someone wants it they will inquire, if not I have time and a car that I like.
