A realistic upgrade path for me is a 2G Sedan 6MT.
Vagon works too

See you really are trying to get back in a Vagon. Come on now get one while we all still have ours and join the club so we can have a Vzine meet.

I don't think a new one would drive up the price of the 2G Vagon. At that point, if a new one was released, the 2G Vagon would be less of a unicorn since a bigger, badder machine would replace it...

Only think I didn't like about the Vagon was the drive. I think J touched on it earlier, but it has that larger feel.. and I love the tight handling of the AMG. Loved the look and functionality of the Vagon, but not sure about getting another one.

Waiting for J to come visit so he can tell me if they are since his were blown.

I agree I don't want to do coils cause I know if I do them this time around I am going to want to go with KW3 over the BC Racing option which is what I had on the F and they are so much.

Air is getting pretty affordable too...
So...in the fear of the rear one wheel getting powder and it not matching and not wanting to deal with dismounting etc right now...
I opted to clean up the major curbage using a dremel and some 800 grit...
Polished lip looks damn good...
Fkng moron that I am I didn't check if the touch up paint was still good before stripping away
took me about an hour...last time I did it I just slapped the paint on to hide the damage and it hid it well except or the ridges and scratches underneath. I thin this will make it look good enough.

Wow the HLS setups are actually hydrollic and not air. That is pretty cool but the prices are crazy. Will coils and a universal HLS2 front only system you are looking at $5800-6000 for the suspension. Maybe BC Racing doesn't sound so bad. You can do BC Racing will a full air cup system that does the same thing along with a set of the KW Magneride delete plugs for $2500. Also there was a guy on the forum that posted you can build your own Magneride delete plugs for about $20 parts. If you do that you can do front air cups and full coils for $2000. Now that is actually fairly tempting. Then I wouldn't have to worry about my carbon front lip at all.

Nice touch-up work on the wheel.
lol, I thought I was the only one who needed a constant wind velocity device directed on me and/or the work area whilst working in nearly 100% humidity. Otherwise, the result is a thorough sweat drenching in no time irregardless of the presence of shade.

You guys are such fucking ballers...
gone are the days of $2000 to $6000 mods for me.
Even then, I could probably only stomach spending that if I were getting an entire project car.
and alas...the car payment is starting to annoy me...
Soooo...
We shall see.

bro with this renovation, i've been writing $5k, $7k, $10k checks weekly... (i'm not bragging)... i'm just saying, the wife gets what she wants in the house, eventually when/if i write a check for $2k-$6k for the car, i don't want to hear any complaints...
hmmm but even if you get rid of the car will you still have a note to worry about??? i'm also getting the itch... two weeks ago my buddy was able to buy back his first car from the guy he sold it to 8 yrs ago... after watching the latest MCM episode, they did a 10 second sleeper on a JDM Cresta... my first car was a Cressida and i always wanted to either do a 2JZ or LS swap on one... problem is finding a clean one...

I'm with you...
honestly, I've strongly considered a MDX, 08 to 11...something like that...and sell wagon and take the equity and some cash and have no note.
Plus, it seats 7 and gets decent mileage.
I'm serious about that...I kinda just have a different perspective and my financial monthly expenditures vs single income are not making me that happy.
Or loose both cars and buy an Audi S4 outright...but I think I'd regret the maintenance on that.
Just thinking out loud...dumbrockstarring, if you will.

The suspension setup sounds cool but I don't think I could spend that like you said above. Probably another set of springs that are uncut are in my future then. I'm with you...
