I wonder how the MA10S engine would respond to a Megasquirt and a turbo?
I've got enough random stuff around to likely build a turbo kit for it. Game on.

It's a Nissan so there's probably a factory manifold for a turbo version of the engine, too.

I just parted an '01, half way through cutting the chassis apart to fit in the truck bed, I realized I had left the small tupperware on the sides. Oops.

So people actually desire / pay money for that stuff?

I ask honestly. As a matter of personal opinion, I think it really screw up the look of the car, and have never seen documentation that it serves a purpose aerodynamically.

From what I gather, the youngsters in the rusty areas like it 'cause it's cheaper than actually fixing the rust and by the time it actually shows they're done with the car anyway.

Huh.

Chicago is definitely a "rusty area," and while the tin worm has clearly begun to nibble on my '04, it's not obviously visible. When it becomes so, I intend to simply take a Sharpie and write "Chuck Norris spat here" next to the fender / rocker rust spots. The idea of covering them with something to trap additional moisture in the area doesn't really register.

I think you're a bit "older" than the youngsters I'm thinking of.

It would require a repaint, kimosabe.

Holy **** ND's don't hold their value for anything. My 2016 Sport that I bought at MSRP of 26xxx last July, now KBB's for barely over 20k.

Also, that proprietary tuning software would make me stay far away from that one. I haven't heard about it and who knows if the "tuner" knew what they were doing or if you can get any support for it.

Just about all new cars will lose 3-5k in their first year, not too surprising.
