>>13888190
Jokes on you, I've had the same DD for 8 years with no plan to get rid of it, and any further depreciation would make it worth less than my pay check.

>>13888190
>implying I'll ever want to sell it
The only aftermarket parts that are on it are the shift knob, hella horns, and bluetooth radio anyway. I don't think many people would detract from the value for those anyway.

My civic modified itself with a lightweight/hp mod

the muffler rusted off and fell off in a parking lot and then I dragged it home with it attached to the exhaust hanger

15lbs weight reduction and a throatier, more gutteral sound

this

came across a unmolested 90 ka24e 240sx manual coupe

unmolested but abused and neglected
so going to give it a good reliability build and use it for a dd, got it for dirt cheap and no issues other than the timing is off but chain and tdc is ok

going on day 2

>tfw everything I did is reversible and if I ever decide to sell my car I'll just revert it back to stock.

>>13888190

It's like you bought the wrong car.

>>13889685
Fuck, that's my plan right now, but I have no storage space in my apartment.
Should I throw away my stock intake? It's sitting in a box on the floor of my room and it's an eyesore.

>tfw stripped interior
>CF hood
>RPF1 wheels
>aftermarket steering wheel
>slowly replacing thing with light weight alternatives
>all the stock parts kept safe and preserved in my room

In a way in increasing the value , not that I'd ever sell it

>>13888190
>aftermarket parts means modifications
so everyone needs to buy OEM replacement parts only, right?

How poor are you to worry about resale value? oh no it's worth £3000 less than if I hadn't spent £4000 on making it a better drive. What a shame those 10 hours a week I spent in it for the last 4 years have cost me an extra £3.36 an hour to be in a more pleasant and fun environment. Well boo fucking hoo it's only money.

Aftermarket parts will reduce my autism?
Gotta look into that.

>>13889571
You lose if you finance a new car every few years. If you do the math, leasing is actually cheaper in that scenario.

>not maintaining your car forever

>>13890972
Why do people on this board always equate saving money with being poor? Are thdy dealership shills? I don't get it

>>13888190

>Why do people on this board always equate saving money with being poor?

Probably because this is a board for people who's hobby is cars. You don't scrimp on your hobby unless you have to. I don't enjoy watching sports so I save money on not having the sports packages on my TV subscription I also don't hang out on /sp/ the people who do won't be scrimping on the sports TV channels if they can afford them because it's there hobby. If you aren't interested in having fun with cars you are in the wrong board try /n/ for basic a-b transport.

>>13891365
>do absolutely whatever the fuck I feel like to all of my vehicles
>most of the time that means leaving them stock

It's an abstract kind of feel

Why would I create the perfect car for myself and then sell it?

Also
>worrying about resale value on a money drain hobby like driving
You're probably also the kind of cunt that thinks a house is an appreciating asset.

That's why you commit to a chassis.

Replace stock parts and sell car, put parts on new car.

Car dies? Buy another one and put the parts on it.

A lot of manufacturers share engine, trans and suspensions between models.

Probably because 95% of this board either don't own cars or own shit boxes they're too embarrassed to post, and just come here to play pretend time. They project their own poverty onto others, especially those who make sound financial decisions, to make themselves feel better, and to troll. Pretty simple really.

This desu senpai I'll never understand kuks who can't comprehend this

>>13891377
Half the people on this board dont even do their own work and they call anybody who does a poorfag. Financing a car doesnt mean cars are your hobby, nor does spending a ton of money on cars.

Jokes on you, that STI 6 speed I put in my 02 bug eye added 4 grand to its value when I sold it.

>>13888190
I'm never gonna sell this car so why should I care? The resale by the time I would even consider selling it would be so small it would be negligible. Would rather give it to my little sister when she is old enough to drive in like 6 years.

>>13889561
