Changing out the electric ones isn't bad either as long as the wiring is still ok.

This article applies to you and every other kid who has ever judged somebodies build without actually building something legit of their own.
I will let speedhunters do the talking because I 100% agree with this article because I have dealt with everything that he talks about with my past builds.
http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/10/the-self-entitled-generation/
If you don't want to read the entire article because you're lazy, please read this bit right here.
"When you’re raised to believe that only your opinion matters, you immediately remove any opportunity to learn from your life. Countless times I’ve read harsh one-word comments which thrash someone’s hard work with no justification or even the decency to qualify their stance. Or worse. Rather than appreciating an awesome final product, they immediately turn it around into what they would have done to make it 'better'. This latter example exemplifies the increasing levels of narcissism displayed by a lot of Millennials, typically none of which have ever done anything to show that they are even remotely capable of creating something on their own in the first place. Instead, they believe that the rest of us mere mortals should be grateful that they’ve shared their virtuous judgement with us.
Politely, they can f**k off."

That's one of the reasons I really like the mcm guys they just like that you put time into your car and it really doesn't matter what car you have.

but you're not, you're saying what some people do is wrong or stupid, saying their time and effort is just a waste.
just sick of hearing people shit talk other builds simply because they wouldn't drive it. you really don't have any idea the kind of effort people put into these types of builds.

Actually I do see the effort its just I either agree or disagree with how the car functions or looks. I've met a few kids who work their asses off to keep the car going. I just sometimes state what I think and question why they did what they did. I use to be much worse with hating on stance and that stupid shit but I've mellowed out, a bit. Sorry if I bothered you, I forgot how hot blooded stance people can get. Lol.

Its not that "stance" people are all uptight about people criticizing their builds, its that when people judge and hate on your project when they have no experience or history of building cars of their own it just sounds like hating for the sake of hating and being a dick.
I honestly want to know if you have any projects you have ever built or done yourself and if you have really had the chance to experience a track car vs. a stance car and the life of maintaining/building each of them. If you have, please share and all of your comments will be validated. Until then, please STFU.

Just added this 3" extension. Paired with a short shifter it feels amazing.

I guess some people like tall shift knobs. As far as I know there isn't any real benefit of having the extension just kinda a what feels right to you thing.

More of just a preference thing. I have the factory short shifter on there plus another part that shortens the shift throw even more. It was really short, but it made it require more effort to get into gear. So now it gives me a little extra leverage and is still short.
The factory shifter feels pretty crappy so all this helped a lot.

I'm assuming you have a shortcut plate with the short shifter? Have you bought a counterweight? I bought a short shift plate (cable re-locate) and with a new shifter counterweight, my shifts are just right. I can see them being much more difficult without a weight.

He could have used actual spray paint and made it look probably worse and have it be permanent. With plasti dip you can just peel it off fairly easily.

Just got it today. Let the tuning begin.
Just got it today. Let the tuning begin.
Really considering picking up one of these. I live in a big city with chargers everywhere i go, and electric cars have free parking, no road tolls, and they can drive in the buss lanes. I drive around a lot at work, and it's nice to not get stuck in traffic everywhere i go. Plus the i3 is super fun to drive, it has 170 hp and only weighs around 1200kg. The power is instant, and the car is really agile. Even though it has super narrow tires, it handles really good. The batteries are located low in the back, and it's rwd.
I can even drive this up to my local mountain, which also has a charging station. Which is free to use off course. The range isn't good enough to take me to the real mountains, but i'll still have my other car for those longer trips.

I'd say go for it. I think that's probably the ideal electric commuter car. Just remember when you start to use that 170 hp that you aren't going right get the full range.
My dad has a nissan leaf which is fwd but still a blast to drive.
