That's one of the reasons I really like the mcm guys they just like that you put time into your car and it really doesn't matter what car you have.

Titus69I call it personal preference plus to me its worth more to spend money on suspension for racing and being functional not scraping, blowing tires and having to explain to people why your car looks the way it does. People can do whatever they want to their car, I can't make them do what I want to it.
but you're not, you're saying what some people do is wrong or stupid, saying their time and effort is just a waste.
just sick of hearing people shit talk other builds simply because they wouldn't drive it. you really don't have any idea the kind of effort people put into these types of builds.

Actually I do see the effort its just I either agree or disagree with how the car functions or looks. I've met a few kids who work their asses off to keep the car going. I just sometimes state what I think and question why they did what they did. I use to be much worse with hating on stance and that stupid shit but I've mellowed out, a bit. Sorry if I bothered you, I forgot how hot blooded stance people can get. Lol.

Its not that "stance" people are all uptight about people criticizing their builds, its that when people judge and hate on your project when they have no experience or history of building cars of their own it just sounds like hating for the sake of hating and being a dick.
I honestly want to know if you have any projects you have ever built or done yourself and if you have really had the chance to experience a track car vs. a stance car and the life of maintaining/building each of them. If you have, please share and all of your comments will be validated. Until then, please STFU.

I have not for any cars I've owned but Ive helped my brother with his dsm and seen it go from a little shitbox to a fun ass car that handles like a champ.
I guess some people like tall shift knobs. As far as I know there isn't any real benefit of having the extension just kinda a what feels right to you thing.

More of just a preference thing. I have the factory short shifter on there plus another part that shortens the shift throw even more. It was really short, but it made it require more effort to get into gear. So now it gives me a little extra leverage and is still short.
The factory shifter feels pretty crappy so all this helped a lot.

Right on, In my old subie lgacy gt wagon, the shifter bushings had all worn down(possibly fell out completely). Extremely interesting time to find gears before i got it fixed... Fun stuff, miss that car a lot. Stupid head gasket..

I'm assuming you have a shortcut plate with the short shifter? Have you bought a counterweight? I bought a short shift plate (cable re-locate) and with a new shifter counterweight, my shifts are just right. I can see them being much more difficult without a weight.
here's a pic of my new ride i got earlier this year, 5 speed 2007 vw rabbit, originally blue, did the paint job myself , it came out pretty nice considering i've never painted a car before

He could have used actual spray paint and made it look probably worse and have it be permanent. With plasti dip you can just peel it off fairly easily.
Really considering picking up one of these. I live in a big city with chargers everywhere i go, and electric cars have free parking, no road tolls, and they can drive in the buss lanes. I drive around a lot at work, and it's nice to not get stuck in traffic everywhere i go. Plus the i3 is super fun to drive, it has 170 hp and only weighs around 1200kg. The power is instant, and the car is really agile. Even though it has super narrow tires, it handles really good. The batteries are located low in the back, and it's rwd.
I can even drive this up to my local mountain, which also has a charging station. Which is free to use off course. The range isn't good enough to take me to the real mountains, but i'll still have my other car for those longer trips.

I'd say go for it. I think that's probably the ideal electric commuter car. Just remember when you start to use that 170 hp that you aren't going right get the full range.
My dad has a nissan leaf which is fwd but still a blast to drive.
Wow Im actually surprised, I didnt know it was rwd until now and didnt know it packed 170hp still not a fan of the looks and still not onboard with full on electric cars and still not a fan of hybrids at least amongst sports cars...Definetley would have it over a prius now.
Picked up an OEM rack for the car for super cheap. Missing an end cap, but I'm picking up a replacement tomorrow. I've got a Thule ski rack, but need to retrofit it so it sits flush.
WillowsFucking lucky americans (I luv U)... That A4 Avant will go for about $49000 in Denmark... A Fucking Tesla p85d is $460610... I'm not making shit up
Holy shit....At least everywhere else gets cool cars like citroens, renaults and peugeots..
Titus69Holy shit....At least everywhere else gets cool cars like citroens, renaults and peugeots..
Hah! When you see somebody driving something like a ferrari you know the are packing insane amounts of money.. Saw an Aventador the other day.. 1.2 million bucks in denmark.. All cars are like super small and shitty
Willowsyea you're right.. I drive a peugeot 207 actually haha and I get to borrow a VW Passat TSI from time to time which is a super dope car
Thats awesome, I mostly love the hatchbacks for rallying and would love to see them start appearing here for Rally America. Plus hot hatches just seem like to much fun.
Ugh. Ordered parts from a dealership earlier in the week. I went in today to pick them up and they were never ordered and didn't have any record of me ordering them. At least they didn't charge my card (that I gave them) and the parts weren't important? Also, the lady who helped me today was awesome. Frustrating, seeing as how the dealership is a couple hours away.

that sucks, when i buy oem crap i have it sent to the dealership to save on shipping. i always have to call to make sure the parts are in because they never give me any updates and it's impossible to tell from their online system
had to do it again this week, here's my latest score:
