The Turbo AWD 1st gen Mitsu Eclipse/Eagle Talon/Plymouth Lasers were the sh!t.

It went all down hill after that though.

sorry man in my list DSM :thumbdown: but if you dig them thats for you not for me and looks like ichi is also not liking them. for the record I dont hate american, korean or euro, mitsubishi, scion or any other name brand, its just for me some cars are for point A to point B and others are apex to apex thats all.

my friends don't like how I tune cars, they call me no grey area cuz, for me if I modify a car it better be full track or nothing at all, for me if I put money, time and research it better not just go 0-60mph or red light green light kill kill or go and show BS. I like to hear that 9,200rpm sing, feel that 4 piston caliper bit and catch that rear end slid. thats how I want my car, if your definition of a monster is a fwd mazda 6 thats on you, this is what makes us different from each other, soon when this FT86 is out and everyone has one you can pick out who are the serious tuners or just hard parker.

:word:

I'd tune a Lada if I had a good reason to.

Does the anti-German vibe come from their early love of mechanical fuel injection?

Mechanical fuel injection sounds scary...

I'm curious about the anti-German sentiments here too. Perhaps it's just because this is a Japanese car forum and people just want to be patriotic towards the cars' nationality? I've worked on a lot of German cars over the years and other than their fetish for special tools and technology-for-the-sake-of-technology they're no different/harder to work on than other nationalities.

Regarding the thread title; I think the only cars I won't touch are rusted ones. Rust makes working on cars a billion times tougher than fresh & clean.

Can't speak for all but the problems on my buddies Audi A4 and M3 were electrical. The passenger window would get stuck rolling up, dash lights flickering, left tail light would consistantly go out etc.

Exage, why did you quote me and then defend yourself? I wasn't trying to say anything negative about you or 1GoZoom.

Exage 04-12-2011 08:44 PM

Then I mistook your comment for being a negative poke at 1GoZooms' following comment in reference to my original (as both were quoted by you), even if you didn't mean it that way. To each his own I guess.

I'm sure mazda 6 is a good car, so you have the 2.3liter turbo awd one right?

4agze 04-15-2011 09:31 PM

o yeah forgot to add I wont touch any toaster looking car, not even a super hot girl asked me to

Macavely 04-15-2011 09:44 PM

If it has at least 2 wheels I will work on it... I love cars.. I can find something enjoyable about any car.. Plus I find it more fun to work on cars others would not touch...

but I would never work on a gas powered RC car again.. last one I did kind of blow up ..

I think I don't like the Mercedes because everyone around my area drives one and they're all old people. Lol I just see that car as a old/lets-retire car. xD

Personally I'm sick of anything used. I've had too many bad experiences fixing crappy mods and shoddy repairs that I'm only willing to get new cars for a while. When I got my Celica, I was the 3rd owner on it and the bloody thing spun a crank bearing before I put 15 miles on it!
