Since ive thought about it this for my FD1 and this is the opinion i came down with.
let me know what you guys think and might still change my mind hehe
FD - nice car, very sexy but 2012 civic is due out very shortly, there are nicer cars out there (golf GTI, STI, EVO, MPS, A4, TT and the rest) so will FD still look nice after you're done with whatever your doing to it?
$$ - if it cost roughly from 15 - 20K with all the upgrade u want and better off putting, now that your fd value has just increased (FD1 ~ 40K FD2 ~ 50K) the value that you can never get back, now if u had 50K would u buy a FD2R, STI, GOLF GTI or a civic with an engine from another car with no warranty?
Maintenance - we all know and cant run from the facts that the more you touch the more you have to pay in the end. What happens when ur bored of you fd?u going to sell it with minimal loss?i dont think so, u going to loose all the money you put in a conversion labour, time and effort. say if you cbf to sell it privately, what are you going to get for a trade in? we all know to get a broader market the car is better off stock, you going to spend more money and time and effort on parting out?or just minimalizing you audience to a honda fans with $$?now what is the ratio for a honda fan with money and honda fan as a first car?
that was my thought
That sounded like a lecture from my dad or something but ahaha. it's tru tru. looks like I have to start selling drugs to stay in this league lmao. you guys started from simple mods, few hundreds now it's tenths of thousands haha.
but the thought giving evos or v8s an expected suprise at the lights is priceless.

one tenth of a thousand is a hundred dollars ^^Quote:
