has anyone done this? to slam your car

[eklanta]

This seems suspect. But if you do it, make sure you have a good seat for the sleeve to sit on. And do more research on it.

Let me give you some friendly advice from someone with some real life experience. Cars are a terrible thing to spend your money on when you are in your twenties. You will RUIN this car on your fast food budget. Just leave it stock. If you put your money into keeping this car running well you'll be so much better off; save your money for college. You'll be far better off later in life but just driving it and enjoying the fact that you have a future CLASSIC Japaneese car. Keeping it stock and not doing stupid shit like lowering it and putting idioic round headlamps in will ruin the value and appeal. You will ruin the resale value GREATLY once you get ready to sell it down the road. Trying to sell a modded car like this one is like trying to sell your dirty underwear, no one wants it once you put your skidmarks in it.

I disagree in a way, man. Cars are NOT a bad thing to spend money on in your twenties...............if you can afford it. I do agree that with a fast food income, the only thing that money should be spent on (in relation to the car) is in keeping that car running. With my "real life experience," I can definitely relate. For most of my adult life, I did just that. I used the only car I had available to me as my easel. I was sinking what little money I would have on making my car look good (in my eyes) and a lot less on keeping it running. It didn't work so good. Now although my Civic is my daily, I have three other cars at my disposal should it go down. And one of those cars is only a few years old. I am able to afford to have a hobby car. So you do give good advice, bitchface, on that count.

To add, his car is already a classic Japanese car, not a future classic, lolol. Lowering the car will not necessarily make it lose it's appeal. I have the same people tell me how great my car looks now that I have it on the ground that told me how great it looked sitting up higher. And I don't mean younger folks. Lastly, as far as value or resale value goes, you can't lose resale value greatly (when modifying) when the initial value wasn't that great to begin with. These cars do not go for that much money. That's if you're even planning on selling it. I have no designs on selling mine so I did want I wanted to do to mine.

But the important point is the one you made at the beginning of your post.

Ok, points taken. I should have mentioned that lowering (correctly) might be ok as far as resale value but it will still cost money to do it right. And I should have said "overlooked" classic rather than "future"classic. I was trying to suggest that years from now the car would be worth more than it is because they will only become more rare.

There is no thinking about it. There are no options besides cutting, heating or fabricating your own suspension set up. Literally. He has a second gen Accord. Pretty much in the same boat I'm in. Gotta do what you gotta do..........

............but only if you know what you're doing.

heat my $ring$s$s$s$ss!

I wasn't trying to chastise you, dude. The modifying of cars when money isn't available advice you gave is spot on.

I don't do stuff like that to other folk's cars anymore. Hope you understand.

If you sell it, sell it BEFORE you do any modifications to it. That's my advice, my friend.

^^True story.

Stock stuff is always worth more money.

[bitchface]

Yep.

Well in the case of these cars, it won't be too detrimental, but with the mods he was talking about it, it would knock off what little value these cars do have.

honestly the only modification i ACTUALLY wanted to do is drop it! i got all 4 chrome beauty rim rings on it now!
and i was gonna buy the original headlights ..the square ones are replacements i think and thats about it....and besides making the seats leather because the rest is leather already

but really i havent made any mods....i got the car not running and put every cent and time to get it running and it runs now!....lost my job because i called out to work on my car..and lost my wallet(debit/id)
but just got a new one....and car only has one problem ...it pumps to much fuel and the previous owner did it himself...and connected to fuel pump cable it straight to the fuse box...and i think it needs a new relay but idk man

^^^ Wish I could help you, dude, but I know nothing about the "under-the-hood" workings of a car. I'm finally going to have mine back on the road Saturday. Hate not driving it.
