Default Sell the quad for car parts?

Kinda of a dumb question but im at work and bored.

I have a Honda 400ex that i think i may sell to buy some parts for my Fit.
I bought the thing in 2004 and ive only taken it out a total of 6 times. what do you guys think?

Why did you buy the Fit in the first place?

what could you possibly want to buy for a fit.

i mean its not fast by any means, its built to get good gas mileage and modifying it could take away from that.

there's a ton of visual modifications if thats what he's interested in. People are actually boosting the Fit motors, or putting K20A's in them. So it really depends on how far he wanted to go.

what exactly were you looking at doing to the Fit?

Fuck i/h/e on those cars. You won't get hardly any power. Pull the axle back section of the exhuast (2 bolts and 2 hanger) if you want some decent sound without being obnoxious. I did it in the driveway on another fit last night without even jacking the car up.

I'd spend money on the suspension, wheels/tires, tint and maybe some stereo stuff. Don't waste your money on the engine mods that do nothing but aid the cops in pulling you over and that empty your wallet.
