Modding your car in most cases won't hurt your gas mileage much. Auto98EX actually reports better milage after his supercharger install. I say, take that 7g and get a K20 and mod that baby to hell.

Plus, what you would pay for insurance and things on the other car would be WAY more than anything you'd save in gas.

Dude, 7g leaves the door pretty wide open for oppurtunity. Buy a shell from a junk yard, get a decent swap, then spend the rest of the money tidying up the suspension, brakes, interior, etc. For 7grand you could have a fairly badass ride.

I'm with him. Totally custom, and it'll keep you busy! In fact, that sounds like a great idea... I kinda wanna do that now...
