As far as the "mechanic's oversight", you're dead right. No mechanic in his right mind is going to watch over some shade-tree, when he can charge five times the money to do his own work. But, like I said, if you're buying the lift anyways, and just want to defray some of the cost, renting time on it would be the way. Just realize that you're gonna have to write up some kind of waiver that will allow you to have unfinished cars moved, and release you from liability for some dumb-ass fucking up his own car...

What's really sad is that the Tc, like the Civic, is actually a pretty nice little commuter. It just gets fucked over because of the ricer obsession. Although Honda never out-and-out marketed directly to the ricers...at least, not until the latest Civic. That thing is just ugly.

Eh-uh, you say something like that, you gotta say whether it was your car, or your bike...also, was it an L67, or an L36(N/A)?

BTW, don't think that I wouldn't love to have a place like that available...

I hate to say it, but it's been tried before. Every couple years, I hear about someone opening up a "self-serve" bay at a garage. Unfortunately, if you check back a couple months later, it's gone. There just isn't enough demand to make it more profitable than just doing business as usual with a trained mechanic doing the work. But if you're just looking to help your friends out, and maybe eventually pay for the lift, that's another thing. BTW, if you're thinking about a lift, check out Northern Tool, they've got some nice stuff. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200358064_200358064

Not fun? Dude, it is all about personal preference. Yeah, if you want the ultimate in performance, you have to go RWD, but if you just want to have fun at the track, FWD, RWD, AWD, whatever, it just comes down to what you like. Personally, my big FWD may not be the fastest, but it is a blast to drive.

Oh fuck yes, remember the ones with the weird little creature slobbering on the car and magically it's a mega-ricer? Or the "sheople" shit? Yay! Individuality through conformity marches on!

Nah, not wasted, just ignored by your buddy. You got no more shit than anyone else gets, and you're in. Why your friend has chosen now to suddenly decide I'm a douchebag, I haven't a clue. And I guess I won't get one, if he actually has put me on his ignore list.

Definitely skip the rice, but x2 on the L67. It's about the biggest motor you can fit in the Cavvy, packs a shit-ton of torque for a V6, and they're an easy motor to work on. Shit, think about dropping my motor, which hauls 4200lbs of car and driver down the track in the low 14s, into your Cavvy, which weighs, what, 2600-ish?

Wow, guess the pos rep I gave your buddy was kind of wasted.

Better yet, just skip the "bungee" part altogether.

Good intro. Still need pics before I can rep you. BTW, you might even decide to keep the Cavvy. With the money a new car would cost, you can drop in a bigger motor and some suspension work, and have a little monster. And it'll get you valuable experience working on a "faster car". Oh, and I'm also proof that you don't have to have a "faster" car to be here, although I am definitely faster than stock, at least. VVV

I dig that Impala. Bad-ass big cars are my thing...+rep!

Dammit, posted on my Brother's login by mistake^^^ Anyways, 7 Series for comfort and power, 5 Series for good midsize performance, but the 3 Series is the one for a real performance car.

1) You're a dumbass. 2) Remove dumbass tendencies. 3) Pay the man. OR TOUGH SHIT.

At least he's not as stupid as this douche...

You know, I don't think they did, but I could be wrong...

The name, man. Money$hift, G-Money, T-Money, Money-Money, Money-Money, yeah, Money-Money, Money-Money, yeah, YEAH, Yeah, YEAH, yeahYEAH....sorry, where were we? Nice Yuppie-mobile. +rep.

The Eclipse is pretty nice, other than the black hood.(Why the hell did that ever become a "thing", anyways?) But the truck is godawful. The rims are fine, whatever, but the grille and bumper are stupid looking.

Hey, Chadsvag, has it occured to you that, in spite of the shit he's taking, your friend has positive rep right now? Maybe you should chill and see where things go before you fuck it up for your buddy.

Holy shit! They found Bigfoot!

Sorry, but that one is FAIL to me. Should found a Regal and not compromised the body by having huge weld lines all through the frame. To get the Regal quarter windows, too, he would've had to cut right through the greenhouse. One cut all the way across the floor pan and rocker, and two more through the A-pillars to avoid having to weld on the roof panel. It destroys any structural strength in the car unless it's shored up with a shit-ton of welded-in bracing. To me, it would have been coolerto build the Diesel Cutlass he started with into a beast, rather than make yet another fake GNX. God knows, there's more GNXs on the road now than the factory ever fucking built.

He may not have much of a car, but at least he's quiet and self-effacing about it. +rep BTW, that's the smallest fart-can I've ever seen. That can't be more than 3".

Nice! Too many people hung up on the LSx swaps. Something to be said for an iron block. BTW, nice SSE in the background, too, but what's the story on the driver's door paint being a little off?
