You are mechanically inclined because you have a mechanical engineering degree?
So how many times throughout your amazing, prestigious and exclusive education did you actually physically work on a car?

having a mechanical engineering degree teaches you NOT to fix your own cars. Get a related job to pay for better cars is what that degree is about.

apparently not everyone has the knowledge of COMMON SENSE, not so common now is it

while true intake headers and exhaust are fucking expensive on my car? dinan intakes are 2 grand, dinan headers are 7 grand, dinan high flow cats are 3500, and my tubi catback cost 3400.

talk about making you broke with simple bolt ons. to piss on an open wound it burns through 20$ a liter oil every 1000kms and thats considered average consumption according to BMW.
You could build like... Two of my cars for that

bringing dead thread back because in my cheesy under .5mil townhouse I can't work on my cars even if I have the tools. Strata sent me this angry letter saying that they don't allow any sort of car repair on site. Even tho it's all happening within my garage perimeter.

WTF. FML. So yea I'll need a house to mod car like what Alderbridge says. Any way to fight this kind of retardedness? I mean I own this place, I can pretty much do anything within the law amirite?

find a better strata, or threaten them with their lives "especially if they go to the police"

shouldn't have a problem after that.

if you do, kill the bastards, they had fair warning.
