[@Hawk7886]

Obviously you'll save a ton of money, it's up to you to decide if that's worth all of the time and effort to wind up with a car with a branded title and no warranty.

[@tigerbiterhater]

@@Hawk7886this methods is only good for KZbinrs. Getting contents and views. Us regular folks. Even if at the end of it. You’ll probably only save $5-10k. With a branded title is not worth it. Assuming you have a shop(lifts), know what you’re doing , a lot of time and tools.

[@SacTuning805]

All about how much you get the car for. Air bags tend to be the most expensive thing about this.

[@AERoVALKYRiE]

Probably close to new and it will forever be a salvage title so I’d say not worth

[@MaxPwr176]

The "fast" ones I've seen have had over-heating issues and can't make it through a 20-minute hpde session. But true, likley never be a problem for the average owner (of any of the hot hatches) since they'll never be driven in anger on track

[@WalkiTalki]

1:17 Just because your mom or your trust fund can afford a 20K mark up on a car doesn't mean that you should buy it. Its the same reason women's jeans cost twice as much as men's. If nobody was willing to pay 20k more they wouldn't charge 20k more.

life is short. we all want our toys and we want them yesterday.

[@Hawk7886]

That's the bs attitude dealers use to justify it. I wish more manufacturers would shut it down. It wouldn't fix the issue of dealers turning them into "used" units with a few hundred miles, but it sure would help. ​@@idokwatcher2062

[@TheProntoOne]

Championship White is my favourite colour on these Not sure what you have planned, but Varis makes a really nice kit for the FL5; might be worth having a look at. There's so many 5×120 wheels coming out , so maybe the fact I see these in my feed daily is why I am so excited for this build. Stoked to see this restored to it's former glory with sauce.

[@wiggidywakwak]

Good to see that airbag sensors are still super exposed and vulnerable to damage during a crash. I had the smashed one sitting in my center console forever to remind me of how it didn't fire after my body shop pulled it out of my 8th gen civic after I had a head on collision.

[@Hawk7886]

They're not exposed at all, the system self-tests on every ignition cycle and if a sensor can't be detected it immediately throws a fault. Airbags aren't guaranteed to deploy in a crash, it depends on a ton of variables. Ben was wrong when he said you just need one sensor - the system needs multiple inputs before it decides to fire an inflator.
