***GREAT LAKES General Discussion Thread***

i've thought about selling the car but with school and work taking up most of my time, i dont have the time to sell my car and buy a new one. financially speaking, i got cc debt i want to get rid of before i even think about picking up another car.

i think whatever kbb says you should ask for your car is what you're probably going to end up selling it for. it seems to become a problem especially once the car is swapped. most of the time, you dont know who did the swap or if they knew what they were doing. worse is that the mileage is always kind of a guessing game.

i dont think i can sell my car to anybody. i know the abuse and damage that the cars taken. i'll probably clean it up really nice and trade it in at a dealer once i'm ready.

I don't see they make anything for MX5's just RX7's wonder if they can prototype on me

edit:

Nevermind found it. So TF is a good shop, treats you well?

 

[ryanM]

yes, you should go down there and introduce yourself. thats how you get the good deals.

i dont order stuff online from them, i just go pick it up, its awesome.

like i went there to pick up some front fenders, eric knocked off $20 and gave me a bunch of stickers just because.

So what's so special about Stance other then being local?

None really, unless you count the Zoom-Zoom Live event in which I rode with a seasoned AutoX driver.

I went the last year they came (at Arlington I believe), and yes I drove. He kept telling me to look ahead, not in front necessarily. I remember the CX7 course had yellow "entry, apex, exit" cones so you could know how to place the car. But I still had problems correctly placing the Speed6, MX5, and RX8 on the "all the same color cones" courses.

Hmm i don't remember the diff colored cones, may have skipped that one b/c I was rockin the mx-5's and rx7's all day
