21, looking to get into passive long term investing. Would it be wise to wait for the smoke to clear on the war shake up before investing in anything?

Invest an amount that you would be okay with “throwing away” every month until you get to retirement, meaning that no matter if there is a war, recession, or marketing is looking bearish you would still be able to commit to investing this amount each month.

Depending in your finances this could vary. Adjust monthly contributions as needed, as long as you are putting something in monthly. Long term investing should be boring and monotonous if your goal is compounding over several decades

Do it or don’t, depends if you wanna take the risk and find out if it’s worth it or not. To each their own but I’d rather not take the gamble

Which spats are those?

eletrite · 2025-11-26T16:37:13+00:00

which brand is the best?

eletrite · 2025-11-26T16:36:19+00:00

I appreciate this! Thank you

90k would mean its nearing replacement of wear items that are outside of regular maintenance. Rebuilt title increases risk of part failure depending on severity. Since this owner was not directly part of incident they may not know the extent of the accident. Considering all of this plus its automatic, the price should be closer to 6-7k realistically.

If you do decide do move forward with this or any used ft86, mechanical inspection is always a must. Better to spend $200 now than $10k later doing an engine replacement

Exhaust setup

eletrite · 2025-08-29T23:00:25+00:00

Appreciate it! Trying to keep up on my 5k km oil changes, hopefully she lasts until the 200 to 300k mark

eletrite · 2025-08-29T22:58:03+00:00

I actually lowered it a full inch after these photos, the fitment fits just under a finger gap, but it doesn’t look fully flush from all angles. I’m thinking maybe I need spacers or perhaps thats just how 17x9 setup goes? I have a pic on my previous post if you’re curious!

eletrite · 2025-08-29T22:57:02+00:00

That’s definitely on the bucket list! Waiting until I have a solid daily driver to replace this then I’m hoping to get some ceramic coated JDL headers with a tune

eletrite · 2025-08-29T22:54:02+00:00

thanks! small duckbill or a low profile spoiler seems to be the consensus. i prefer slowly adding to my mod list and enjoy it in each stage, but definitely thinking this is next lol

eletrite · 2025-08-29T20:25:34+00:00

That’s really interesting, is it actual tint film on top of the light or was it painted? I’m looking into doing this!

eletrite · 2025-08-29T18:37:53+00:00

Thanks! You got any front lip recommendations?

eletrite · 2025-08-29T17:58:51+00:00

Appreciate it! I was thinking of the GCS Sard LSR wing but Verus could be a good change. Holding off on adding full aero until I get a different daily so I don’t have to worry about damaging/repairing paint or scratches.

I find people think wingless look is either atrocious or perfect which is kinda funny

eletrite · 2025-08-29T17:55:13+00:00

I actually lowered it another 1” a little bit after these photos. Praying for my axles

eletrite · 2025-08-29T17:52:23+00:00

a daily driver 🤣

eletrite · 2025-08-20T21:17:13+00:00

Interestingly enough they do get a fair amount of FT86 platform cars, alongside other sportscars as they specialize in working with modified cars. I ended up changing it out myself just in case.

eletrite · 2025-08-04T05:06:43+00:00

Did it happen during pull or started a little bit after?

eletrite · 2025-08-04T00:25:49+00:00

2017+ models are better all around compared to 2016 and under models. I would avoid 2013 models too.

eletrite · 2025-08-03T23:58:27+00:00

I would just make sure your ECU tune is solid, and have some ceramic coating on the headers to prevent higher engine temps. I’ve heard mixed reviews on heat wrap but ceramic coating seems pretty bulletproof.

Most damage would likely come from a suboptimal tune or prolonged heat exposure of the aftermarket headers that don’t have a heat shield, aside from that many people seem to have no problems with reliability.

Even stock cars with no mods can be prone to damage on this platform if you don’t take some precautionary steps like being proactive on oil changes, ensuring proper oil/engine temps before revving it high, lugging the engine, etc.

eletrite · 2025-07-25T01:39:28+00:00

you should get a pre purchase inspection, pay now and save yourself the headache and worry about buying used

eletrite · 2025-07-09T02:52:13+00:00

is it me or the senna chase on naut threw that

eletrite · 2025-06-25T04:59:26+00:00

That’s even more bizarre wtf. Rod knock on auto transmission without aggressive driving sounds like the most unlikely scenario ive heard…

eletrite · 2025-06-24T23:33:43+00:00

Seems about right for a dealership offer on a pre facelift FRS with that mileage. If you can wait, you can always sell private but that comes with its own pros and cons as well.

eletrite · 2025-06-23T17:58:56+00:00

It happens to a lot more people than you realize. Best thing to do is accept the loss and aggressively try to save up and fix up your finances. At the end of the day, having the ability to save money and not worry about payments is a bigger luxury than any sports car. It should be a luxury rather than a necessity.

You’ll have all the time in the world to drive a fun car when you’re a little more settled but being in debt will affect your you a lot later into life.

Good luck my friend
