when you say parts are you talking about wrecking it??
i hope your talking about just selling cam and rims then selling a stockish car.
either way stupid idea.
maybe decied if you want show or go. cam = stock ride height etc so you dont get looked at all the time. no cam slam it all you want then all you have to ever change is the springs.

na i dnt think i cud wreck it

i rather sell it as a whole so i cud get more money out of it...well the cops didnt say anything about the exhaust being too loud or anything lol which most of the guys hav heard it is pretty loud lol...but they just picked on me for the wheels n too low.....


it was quite funny when they said we pulled u over cause its too low...."oh really officer i had no idea" i thought it was ok .....then they get ther little tape measure out lol

All these headaches you have got are now are making me think twice about getting a cam =(
So if i get defected and i have a cam, it has to come out? What a pain.
Don't sell the car dude, what a waste, get the defect fixed and just make it look a little less modded.
Edit: How much labour does it cost to remove a cam and replace it with a stock one?

any decent tuner can make a cammed car sound pretty stock or pretty not stock depending on the size of the cam of course. so im sure ud right. plus ur in melbourne

ah man bad luck, cops with nothing better to do hey... sucks about all this cam bullcrap, i'd try and get it back to stock the first time, do it properly and save urself heaps of hassle going back again and again.. maybe just get some 'not so low springs' and sell me ur springs u have now lol =]

nah dont let the pigs get u down man, get the defect lifted and do it back up again, u have the best vx ive ever seen and you would definately regret selling it man
