Depends on if your car had optional AWD from the factory or not, and it would be much, MUCH easier and maybe even cheaper to just buy something else.

>>14018286
Depends. If your car originally had an AWD variant available (or an AWD car used the same platform) you might be able to convert it relatively easily.
If not, I'd imagine FF to FR would be cheaper simply because it needs less parts.

>>14018308 is right though, it's way cheaper to just buy something that already is RWD or AWD.

Yes. Lawyer as soon as possible. When I got hit by a car, I fucked up and settled because I didn't think I was hurt that bad. Now coming up on a year later, my back is still fucked and the $5600 I ended up getting out of it will never cover the days I will have to take off work in the future because my back is fucked up.

>>14018164
Also, just because you get a lawyer doesn't mean a long process with court dates. They will probably still settle, but give you something better.

>>14018169
Lawyers aren't saints, they do not have your best interests in mind, and they want to bill you as many hours as possible. Keep this in mind whenever your lawyer nugdes you in the direction of litigation.

someone took the nissan logo off my grill and replaced it with one that says 5hp

I kept it on.

I went down there to check out an FD and holy shit that is a lemon orchard if I ever did see one. The dyke who greeted me showed me their selection, then tried to sell me on their Subaru Legacy's and then her boosted Prelude. Because you know a customer looking for a lightweight FR sports car is totally in the market for a AWD luxury sedan or a Honda! When I asked if I could do a test drive they wanted a 1000 dollar deposit. However, noting the trim pieces held together with tape and rusty rotors on many of the cars, I promptly left. Like more dealers, I am sure most of those cars don't move an inch or are serviced unless the kike who runs the place is certain they've locked in on a sale. And given they can't be arsed to even wash the cars, I am sure they haven't seen even the most basic service.

I have heard crazy stories of cars breaking down in the middle of the test drive, so yeah, stay away. If you live in Hongcouver, just buy a STI from a private seller, they are always on CL. You want one that has had the typical Subaru problems ironed out anyway.

Those Japanese cars sit in big lots for ages until they are legal in certain countries and then can go on the auction block.

It all depends on who you have working for you in Japan. Do they have a mechanic or person there to verify the cars condition? Making sure they're getting the best examples of each car?

I duno. I think a lot of people just watch the auctions online and buy whatever comes up because it's so cheap. If they can't sell it
In Canada who cares it only cost them a few thousand.

I duno. I'd run my company way different if i got into that Japanese car business. Only the finest examples would make it through and the rarest of cars. Like alpina and good M models. Cars people would actually want to own. Not shit 1.8 liter four banger bmw z3.

Anyway I heard good things about this place. They're like me and have good taste and high standards. http://www.zenautoworks.ca/sold-vehicles.html they probably have someone in Japan to verify the cars conditions.

Velocity sucks, I was in the market for a JDM import a while ago, and everything I had heard about the place was pretty poor. A lot of the cars are missing their auction sheets, I was down there once, and asked for one to a car I was looking at, and the guy dodged the question.

If you want to buy JDM, do it from a good importer. Brave auto or JDM connection have a good rep. Do your homework.

Forester. If you go on gravel and scratch the paint of your "premium" car, you'll become a poor man in no time.

I'm ok with people not wanting to haggle. If the car doesn't interest me I just move on to the next ad.

Canadian money is worthless compared to the US dollar.

It didn't. God told me.

They must get really good gas mileage with those Prius tires on them.

Low rolling resistance makes anything a drift machine. Otherwise an underpowered POS with a cheap interior.

Ecoboost stang is a really good car, though.
