PM suprf1y (3tech) he will give you a quote, he's also really good about working with people with tight finances he can probably come up with something that will fit your budget.

THAT does not factor into any of my work this car leaves me when its crushed or on fire. And in either case resale isn't important I can spend a lot on mine because it saves me more that it costs in parts I buy for it. I drive 35,000+ a year. My Taurus got 24mpg average which is ~$3650 a year in gas (2.50/gal). Metro uses half as much (not to mention decreased car insurance and maintainance costs) I can spend $1500 a year without any consideration for resale and I'm still coming out ahead of where I'd be with the taurus. that's money that would have gone out the tailpipe, no increase in value or fun (just a slow decrease due to climbing mileage on the car). I can put $6K into making my vert fun while making my other metro economical and still come out better and more fun! $1500 a year in unrecoverable money is a lot more fun in accessories than gas

Just wondering, where could you possibly spend $1300 on this car and make it recoverable, even in tip top shape these cars aren't worth very much. I couldn't see adding more than maybe $500 in value off even major work that didn't involve some custom job. |

I was wondering if your parents would be impressed if you put ~$300(?) in the bank, savings, and used the rest on the car. And what about further education expenses?For resale the "econo" grind cam and a +10 cam gear would be best as a selling point. IMHO. |
