All it's really got in the engine is HKS Cams and Intercooler pipes.
A butt-load of visual stuff though!

i think it's because everyone just hates on vivid...

if another vendor slapped wide fenders, body kit, wheels and visual mods on their modded track car, would you complain the same?

doubt it

my point exactly. instead of saying a good word on a well done car, people prefer tp talk smack.

in conventional sense, yes mods do not increase the value of the car!
but this is a really nicely modded car(an understatement) so if there is anyone looking for a awesome turnkey tuner car this would be it
although convinsing a regular bank to approve that loan(over the value of an evo)
may be a challange
b.t.w. if the vivid car came with a vivid girl i'll trade my evo for it right away

3) they have a sweet car that is done up really well and has been on a lot of covers so you are buying more than just a car.

4) if any other vendor would try to sell their car for the same price, would people still complain?
Agreed. Somebody with the money who doesnt want to mess with doing all these mods themselves will buy this car.

Looks like it is doing the trick.

Hanzo is still pissed and holding a grudge for something resolved 9 months ago, haters are hating, and fans are congratulating (if that is a word). So thanks to all of you for the press!

There is a buy it now if people want to "Buy It NOW". That is also why EBAY has a reserve price. So it must reach a certain level. Yeah you do not get your money out of mods. Thanks for the tip, we have only built about 5 cars like this, LOL. We sold our 2004 WRX for $30K, so yes people do pay. Remember the Fast and the Furious Supra. That POS sold for like a $100K since it was in the movie. Frankie Munoz of Malcolm in the Middle bought that POS white Jetta from the movie for like $45K a while back. Think that car was worth it?

Anyways... Blonde is correct, these cars are built as marketing tools. We buy, we build, we use, we show, we race, we sell. If I was like Eddie Murphy then I would keep my cars to drive a different one everyday, but honestly I drive 10 minutes to work. I simply put it on Ebay to gain some attention if there was a interested party.

EVO's are still being sold new for $30K plus. Why not get a fully built car making a ton of power for $15K more. You will spend that anyways right? And BTW if you think it has only looks parts and cannot hold its own, name the Road Course, we will be there for a good old fashion challenge All parts, dyno sheets, and pics are posted and a COMPLETE build up is here for more info - http://www.vividracing.com/index.php...Project%20Cars

Thanks for the posts!

Dan

Dan,
I thought I would start this to help you out. You guys are alright. I even have a Vivid plate surround on my car for you. I'd say you are a man of buisness and know exactly what you are doing, good luck I really wish you didn't live in the same state as me so I could save on taxes, I'd order from you more often, (I've only ordered from you once and I picked it up. I sent my car to B&B after yours went to help them prototype the turbo-back).

Bishi I remember you well. I know your intentions. Was talking about the others.

I was actually driving through YUMA on the look out if I would see you on my way to SD.

When you need to order stuff talk to us and we will change the prices to help balance out the tax!
