finally made some progress with the car. Added a front lip, and scored a deal on a set of wheels. BBS LM reps 18x7.5 & 18x8 unknown et. i know those are pretty weak specs but the front fitment is perfect, and the back needs a 20 or 30mm spacer. also keep in mind that im only on springs and can not go lower at the moment. Coils are next on the list and should be ordered soon so more lows can be acheived .

Lets give him a chance fellas, the younger ones don't know how to appropriately react to jokes/casual flaming... he could end up surprising us all.

That's the goal

I didn't have a car when I was 16, and my ex girlfriend wanted a fitted black mazda 3 on pink wheels...

OP, get stuff done with your car already. Get rid of the plastidip on the wheels and the badges, and replace the rear one. I really dig the jdm Axela badge, but it took me forever and a half because it's covered in plastishit.

get one of these too, I haaaaate how bland that standard black piece is.



Money should not be an issue for you, because if you are hauling in the cash for a car at your age, you can easily handle getting that.

Continue on though, don't mind us, and never ever ever ever ever call out any senior member on this forum. Let them do what they want. I am not saying that you did, but before anything gets out of hand, I warned you.

This thread needs more campfire stories.

When I was sixteen I found out you could manually select the gears in my old automatic saturn. If you did that and switched it to "performance mode" then it was a race car yo!

[nzstance]

Seeing as we are all trying to compete with the dude that is currently "killing it" at 16.

I had an S15 Nissan Silvia at 16. My parents paid for it....



But seriously, drop the title and carry on as you were.

When i was 17 I drove a 2004 ranger, who cares?

[Matt]

when i was 16, which was like 7 years ago now i had a '71 opel gt that had no floor and no brakes...then i got a '79 Datsun 210 which was the shit and i want another one.

If all of you are trying to tell me that at some point your car wasn't on stock wheels and you all just started out with coilovers and 3 piece wheels, then i call bullshit. The car came with painted rims and the lowering springs, sorry I cant buy wheels and coilovers right away after i just spent everything i had on this. It's a Build thread, the cars not finished, so fuck off. All of you started somewhere.

Dammit buddy don't ruin our nogalista with you being a 16 year old stupid kid!

A word of advice, stop trying to defend your honor and don't post updates to your car that are just taping and painting things and you won't get flamed and your thread will stay unlocked. Trust me most of us aren't really ragging as hard on you as you think we are.

Your first car had traction control?!?!?! Damn, I am old.

Yup, kept the parents happy. It was still almost 9 years old at the time

Funny enough none of the cars i've bought since have had it

[SlammedSedan]

Not sure if it was better than my first car when I was 16, I bought a '87 Toyota celica gts, I thought that was the shit. In all seriousness you've done well for your first car, looking forward to seeing it come along.
