People don't really like to buy crazily moddified cars though Philip. I don't know how much success you would have selling it as is (honestly).

Phillip: I gotta agree with Rev on this one. It's much tougher to sell a modified RX-8 then a stock one.
I think you'd be better off parting certain things out (hood, wheels, strut bars, stuff that's easy to remove) and selling the car seperately.
I know Kwescott had a HELL of a time trying to sell his RX-8 becaues of the mods. (full MS kit, MS suspension, etc)

Thanks.
But the thing is I don't have a garage like you guys have. Also I don't have enough tools and skills to take those parts out to sell. If I bring it out and swap back the stock, I'm just wasting time and money and not actually getting any money back~_~
Like the coilovers, sways, pulleys, I can't take them out myself
Also the rotors, brake lines will be a waste...
sigh, is always sad to sell a car with modify

That sounds like an excellent idea. O and if you need to do anything that requires a lift you can always bring it around here and we could have a phillip install day at the shop I work at. Im sure my boss wont mind since there really is nothing going on here most of the time.

But I don't understand...
The retail for new Yaris and new Fit are almost the same (hatch back)
But for used, the fit are like $3000+ more expensive than the Yaris....
Damn it....

phillip, question #1 becomes: do you have all the OEM parts?
ie; oem shocks to remove your megans, amber side markers, oem hood, etc etc.
I wouldn't suggest removing the side skirts are you'll be left with holes from the install.
