Mesoam Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 excessively modifying a daily driven car is a waste of time and money...stick with the BASICS until you can afford the time/$ to have a project car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlecW81 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 see ya. http://forums.turbobricks.com/ Why would I want a heavy pig (RWD large Volvo) for a project over an e30 or miata? So I could spend 3x the money on parts and tuning to be half as quick? My d/d is a 98' GLT with 243k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-R Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Why would I want a heavy pig (RWD large Volvo) for a project over an e30 or miata? So I could spend 3x the money on parts and tuning to be half as quick? My d/d is a 98' GLT with 243k miles. :facepalm: They really aren't that heavy. The GLT you daily is a 1/4 ton heavier than a 240. An E30 is much lighter than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake-R Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ummm, you just proved my point. Heavier and more expensive to mod. No. 240's are not always (depending on the equipment) heavier than E30's. My previous post might have been confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
