All I am saying our car value sucks...this does not mean to offend anybody. While I've seen too many guys buy our kinds of car mod them then get rid of them then sell them. I don't get why they buy our kinds of car in the first place n not keep them ? Our kinds of car is VERY RELIABLE n they just don't get that. They mostly likely go for imports or get a V8.

Yelcal just ignore them, some of these dont dont realize that we all dont have jobs making 80k a year, when making parts for these cars u have to remember most the people that own these car are guys that are younger and just starting out as a young adult and have alot of bills to pay so ur parts have to be affordable for the mass market.

modding any car at any time will make them worth a lot less. if you dont want to lose money this is the wrong hobby for you.
that being said... these mods are ridiculously cheap. go to the 350z gusy and tell them you found something that will give you 80hp and 100tq for 500 bucks and they will probably drop dead in front of you.
(talking about a tune for the tc cars)
bmw people spend thousands of dollars on mods to gain a few hp here and there
its all relative.
and yes 600 bucks for a cooling product to help the sc cars run better/safer/longer is a killer deal

bingo its been that way since the platform was new and it isent changing
you don't mod a car because of book value you mod it to go fast and I don't have a business whippersnapper if you don't like bluntness then don't post in my threads
the system was designed around gmstg2 at most the problem after that is coolant capacity you fix that the system will handle it
no don't ignore them I don't have a job making 80k a year either and I have bills and a kid but its a fact a lot of companies employies used to come on here just to see how well the markert would be for these cars but the few that would spend the money was out weighed by the cheap asses so therefore we suffer
it boils down to this if you want it youll pay for it even if it is unreasonable to you
WHOA! Wait a mins here....I am just saying the facts that our car value sucks. This has nothing to do with You MrB. You need to be VERY careful of what You are saying to people. You could lose your respects from people of the way You talk n your customers of your business. This is not how You treat people by bashing them.
i remember at least one member on here who just did cooling mods to his system to gain a second in the 1/4... to me thats saying the stock system is not enough.
and ive seen plenty of cars with all cooling mods and small pulleys run a few times on the street and have major heat problems.
im sure if you run a 2.6 pulley on the track and let the car cool off every run your going to be fine.
run the car on a track for a few laps and im sure the option b front mount dual pass and whatever else you can toss on there is not going to help

its really not that hard to relocate oil filter servicing. someone actually offered an alternative here years ago. Only OGs will remember. Was quite simple concept, never caught on though.

wtf do you mean a different story your making this out like its going to take some special machining processs it isent hard all you need is a saws all to cut it off then you can weld your -10 bungs to the block and plug the bypass hole and done how do you think gm did it and not to mention they say to remove the housing with a saws all and as for manifold fitment id bet your way off the mark you have to remember for this to work for 95% of the people out there it has to be plug and play or they wont buy it
