[WTF?]

since when is a rebuilt engine a mod?

[fresh_boi]

do you kno what mod stands for....
say it with me m-o-d-i-f-i-c-a-t-i-o-n
if its not how the car came
then it is modified

[stillaneon]

you have to have 8 or 10 members post regularly.

Your best bet would be to have a mod rename this thread after your club, then have your members post in here. Eventually with enough participation, you will have your section

I think his point is, rebuilding a stock motor doesn't usually fall into the classification as modification. It falls into the classification or stock unless you modified the internals

[fresh_boi]

alright thanks stillaneon

A rebuilt engine is NOT a mod, man. Lolol, the fuck? Later, QD.

As far as I know, it's still a 4g64. No reason to put rebuilt on the mod list when you could say 4g64 bored with (*insert supporting internals here*)

[fresh_boi]

alright sorry the site is not to your likings...
geeze.
i dont understand what the big deal is

You started talking shit when you were informed that a rebuilt engine is NOT a mod.

The site isn't that bad. Later, QD.

[fresh_boi]

no i didnt start anything
all i was saying was that i consider a new engine a modification from the original.....


and thanks

[quickdodge®]

A rebuilt engine is NOT a new engine. It's the old engine with new parts inside.

An actual new engine is still not a modification, man. With that thinking, you're going to get laughed all over the place.

In your "reasoning," last year I had to replace a busted driver's side window with a new one. So that means I can put down new side window as a mod? You sure about that? Later, QD.

[81911SC]

I modified my tires after they were worn out by replacing them.

[fresh_boi]

alright i get what your saying
but do you get what i mean about the bored out 98 engine in a 96 being a modification?

[quickdodge®]

alright i get what your saying

The engine from the 1996 and the 1998 Eclipse's are the same. So putting a '98 model engine in a '96 model car would NOT be a mod. But all the internal work done to the engine WOULD be a mod, yes. Personally (and I think an assload of people will agree with me), I would just list mods as what was done to the engine on the inside and not even note that the engine i from a different year car. Also if the new clutch is just a regular replacement, I wouldn't list it.

As far as the Bug, which is what I saw the "rebuilt engine" as a mod, I'd remove that as a mod. Other than that, everything else is ok.

Here's an example of what I did. I have a 1979 Civic. It had a factory 1.5L engine in it. I got an engine from a 1979 Accord (1.8L) and put it in my Civic. Since it's a bigger, little more powerful engine, that would be a mod. I consider it more along the lines of an upgrade, though.

Hope I've helped. And I'm not trying to run your site or your club or tell you how to set up everything. Just trying to give you words of wisdom to help you along. Later, QD.

[fresh_boi]

alright yeah
thanks

[WTF?]

yes i was referring to the bug, but i can tell you right now that being a dick to someone right off the bat is not going to help you get anything out of this site whether it be selling, buying, searching for info, etc.

PS: heres -10 fo ya :goodjob:





















































































i can be a smartass too ;)

[WTF?]

if the car came with the engine, you pulled it out and replaced it with all new stock parts then how is it modified? :thinking: So when i pull my motor and replace everything with better/stronger parts, what do you call that? Sorry im new to all this car stuff

[fresh_boi]

alright
going to change the site
but just to let you know
the bug has SCAT H-beam rods, CP pistons, upgraded cams, power pulley, and dual rate springs with Ti retainers. Also dual port heads. IDK bugs but he says thats def. not stock....
but i know what you mean about listing the things
thanks for the inputs

Now if he has all that stuff done, then yes, that is definitely modded. But like you said, list that stuff instead of just "rebuilt engine" and you got yourself a good mod list. Good luck. Later, QD.

[egpower904]

hey thats my bug, i just didnt feel like logging into this old account to post my mods. couldnt find my password lol. alex did the website, alex just did all this posting, and i see he needs to learn a little forum etiquette. but dont hate on the bug, its a sweet little car and when i finish some tiny bodywork and paint, ill sell it for a good bit and go for something with booooost >:D

[quickdodge®]

but dont hate on the bug,

I didn't see anyone "hate" on the Bug. In fact, that's my favorite car of the bunch. And why would you sell it? If I had a good running Beetle, I wouldn't think of selling it. Later, QD.

:werd:

[fresh_boi]

i think he said the insurance on the bug was rediculous because no air bags any where in the car

[quickdodge®]

^^^ That's weird. My 79 Honda has no airbags and I pay about $350/year for insurance. Later, QD.

$350 a year?
wtf?
thats really good
no he said it was over $200 a month

[redmanhart]

Age probably has a lot to do with that.

[fresh_boi]

yeah thats true
i mean the bug is a 68

[quickdodge®]

yeah thats true
i mean the bug is a 68

I think the dude was talking about the age of the person. Later, QD.

[fresh_boi]

I think the dude was talking about the age of the person. Later, QD.

i thought maybe he was saying yours was lower because it was a 79
idk
mines only about $100 a month

[redmanhart]

I was implying the age of the individual, not the car. Although that doesn't help either lol. Parts are harder to find.
