Yes guys, don't forget our Classifieds.
Paranormal, In the past, I've kept certain OEM engine parts to be able to return to stock should the need arise.

I figure if I ever pull the plug & move on, it'd be better to
return to OEM & sell the mod parts.
IMO, i would not sell any OEM parts even for the extra cash. Who knows what could happen in the future when u desperately scream for the parts you sold.
****s happen and i always want to be ready when it does.

He's right, I've been there done that with my suby. When you want to sell you will be kicking yourself....keep your stock parts!!!!!
Keep them for the following reasons:
1) Ability to return car to stock when you sell, or if you get in an accident and need that certain part untill you get a fix.
2) When you sell your car, it is better to part out with aftermarket parts than OEM in terms of how much money you can get.
3) What if an older person wants to buy your car?
4) You don't want people to have an impression that this car was "raced out" and driven hard, so returning to stock is always better.
But do what you gotta do...

I'm keeping all the stuff for when I sell or trade the car. OEM parts may be of interest to some folks, but you're not going to get rich selling them. Therefore IMO it's better to keep 'em.
