what cars you won't touch?
 
Last night me and my friends drinking on a local bar, till some kind of car meet started, a lancer (not evo) with a evo 8 wing and some body kit, scion tc with a monster energy drink stickers & of course civics.

friends asked me what are cars I wont even touch, tune or modify

my list nothing in order, , toyota corolla (FWD), honda accords, scion xb, neon or aveo, mitsubishi eclips or regular lancer.

so what do members here dont want to touch, im sure all of us have this since we are all car enthusiast?

Ahh really? You wouldn't turn a wrench on my XRS????

Honestly, you could give me nearly any car or truck to wrench on and I'd try to make it faster just for the hell of it.

I'm however the "all go no show type". You won't catch me putting on stupid body panels, wings, neons, pearlescent paint, sound systems, and useless mufflers. I don't like attracting attention except when my foot is planted.

Anything German. I swear, they have engineers aside from the others who's job is to figure out how to make working on those things the most agonizing experience in the world.

Oh, and basically any fronter. Its not a 'FWD sucks!' mentality, its a "ffs, they leave you with no room to do anything" mentality.

any mustang
well pretty much any american car except the ford fiesta hatch.

My list gose of cars I won't touch/drive/tune:

If it isn't already performance oriented or doesn't look good I'll leave it alone. Can't take crap and make it look good or go fast without lots if money

NESW20 04-10-2011 02:38 PM

have you guys really done much work on anything german? my cousin's E39 M5 is actually quite easy to work on. every vehicle has something on it that is a pain to do. for example, if one of the knock sensors on my Tacoma goes out, the head on that side needs to be removed to change the knock sensor.

there are still certain things that i don't enjoy doing, such as rebuilding front ends on 1-ton pickups and stuff, but other than that, i don't really mind. :iono:

What do you guys mean when you say "won't touch". I see a lot of you saying you won't touch FWD cars and even Hondas?

Sounds pretty ignorant because suspension modification can make huge increase in performance in these types of cars.

And yes I'm biased because I modified the suspension of my Accord.

C-Bone 04-10-2011 07:16 PM

Won't touch= not worth the time/money/headache to really do anything worth while. At least thats how I took it, and each person is going to have their own opinion, some will only work on hondas, others won't bother etc. Nothing against any certain brand just personal preference

aliphian 04-10-2011 08:12 PM

Anything Dodge.

I agree with this

I owned a B series civic hatch (EJ/EK) and will say low weight plus decent power and double wishbone suspension = fun

Zaku 04-10-2011 10:18 PM

Morris Marina

Giccin 04-10-2011 10:57 PM
