Motorex

Has anyone tried to sell their FD to Motorex?

On their website, it says they will buy modified cars.

I am considering selling my single turbo FD, so looking at all alternatives.


Thanks

Haven't thought about it. I suppose it depends on how much they'd be willing to dish out.... they said they'd pay top dollar.... well, that could be anything

You are and also are not correct our fair young miss. I'll find the other thread here in a few.... Motorex is actually under new management and rising from the ashes.

There was a lot of "questionable practices" as well.... some rumors were that there were false paperwork filed, improper tax work.... wierd stuff.... Money makes people do stupid things, and changes attitudes and buisnesses.... evil stuff it is

right on.... unfortunatly for me, there isn't much more then basic SOLO2 scca stuff back home, so building a track car is mildy pointless..... so I've got to keep a street base.... so FD fer me.... I started Autocross in my S5 N/A course I had the fancy one, so I got alll the goodies including an LSD, so it helped....

Very true, I got pulled over for having my fog lights on.... Ok, I'm from montana, land of ice snow and giant critters that will kill your car if you can't see them.... I told him this, and he's all, well maybe you shouldn't own a race car.... I wanted to shoot him in the foot... stupid bastard.... I hope his kids get in nothing but trouble and his daughter gets prego at 15.... what a **** smoker...

i think the best one was in washington state. the cocksnot that pulled me over walks up to the car with his hand on his gun and the first thing he says was keep your hands where i can see them. then he proceeds to ask for my license and such. uh if my hands have to be where you can see them then i cant get my license . mind you i am driving my ex's ek civic at the time and its not like im very big either. w/e in his defense i was doing like 95 in a 55 but thats cuz montana iirc doesnt have a speed limit during the day and i hadnt even realized i had driven through idaho and into washington. either way im not a big fan of law enforcement
