Hey guys, I'm new!

Hey guys! I'm Dylan, I've been into tuners and all for about 2-3 years now. I'm 14, but eventually you'll realise I'm not your average 14 year old.

Uhh about me
I'm 14. I'm skinny. If things work out I will be in Japan about a year from now!!! I speak Japanese, not fluently but hope to someday.

I enjoy school, but not to the point of being a total loser. I have a small awesome group of friends. I tag. (as in graffiti) Most people tell me I'm mature for my own age, but I hate saying that 'cus I don't wanna sound conceeded.(sp)

I don't know much about engines or that kinda stuff, but I know some stuff about car electronics. I'm basically here to meet some chill people and learn some sick stuff. Say hi and stuff!

EDIT!: I am more into the street racing aspect of cars but I like cars in general so it doesn't matter THAT much.

Thanks,
Dylan!

Welcome to AF. But I'm moving your thread, because it has nothing to do with Street Racing.

Damn, I feel like a total dunce. Sorry about that dude.

Welcome. I hope we can help you out w/ anything you need to know in the future. Just out of curiosity, whats your favorite car?

Thanks for the warm welcome G-man!

I would have to say that my favorite car is... or was the '92 Honda CRX. My dad used to have one. It's color was teal and i can remember weekend trips to NYC to visit his mom. Man those were the days. That car was the absolute best thing to ride in. He knew nothing about cars, but the amount of money spent on keeping that thing running perfect could have gotten him through UTC lol!

So when I'm older I'm gunna try and find one! So yea Honda CRX! We still own Hondas but we have an element and an Odessy. (I used to be an only child, once my mom had my sister when i was 7 we got rid of the CRX.)

Yes welcome to AF my man. You pick the best car forum website out there. Like mentioned before any questions you have dont hesistate to ask. :)

Welcome bro, Reading your posts you sound quite mature to me........ Looks like you have a good future ahead of you in Japan.....

Thanks dude! Two warm welcomes after confessing I'm a kid. This is awesome! Thanks guys! I think I'm gunna go to Barnes and Noble and get a dummies guide to engines or something. Any book suggestions on learning how to be awesome with cars. I know handson is probobly the best way but i certainly do not have that option.

Not too sure what books to suggest you to, I've pretty much learned from hands on and I have learned quite a bit from hanging around on here.

Awesome thanks dude. My friend bought a '9? Supra about two months ago and he had a lot of fixing up to do... but his friend offered him a place in his apartment in the city(Philly) so he sold the supra and bought a nice BMX bike. I planned on installing a sterio and he was gunna teach me engine basics... but that never happened. I'm gunna see if there is a place that could teach me stuff on the weekends.

Man, I just realized I have a lot on my plate this year.
School, study Japanese. Get all this paper work in for the Youth Exchange. Engine basics. Oh well its all stuff i like! I'm pretty excited!

Now if you were older I would say that you could probably get an appenticeship at a carbody/ mechanic shop. But since your only 14 really doubt they would let ya. other than that just try to get your nose into your friends cars when there working on them.

Yea I talked to the dude who owns the AutoBody shop about 5 minutes into town and he said I was just to young. It would almost be a liability I assume, to have someone as young and tiny as me working in a car shop.

Sadly most of my friends are going to college in a few weeks. Most of my friends are older... some even in their early 20's. Allthough my friend Jer knows a lot about cars. I just thought of that. Hmm I'll see if he can teach me some stuff!

Being young has its advantages and then its disadvantages. Your right its pretty much a liability thing and then again I'm sure alot of people will see that your a young kid and think your just to immature or whatever to do something like that.

I think they only good thing about being young is that you don't have to pay taxes. Thats about it.

You mentioned your favorite car is the CRX right?? well I was surfing around on here and came across this interpretation of a new CRX what do you think about it??:

Thanks man. Yea I am gunna learn how to do an oil change and see if my dad will let me try it out on his car! Haha

Did you by chance try the exchange through Rotary International?

welcome to the forums! i'm sure you'll have a great time here.

I would suggest "car hacks and mods for dummies" it's cheap and it gives you some basic knowledge.... got me sounding smart quite a few times...
also, if you have questions, age or not, as long as what you type is intelligent, you will receive (for the most part) an intelligent reply.

I have a buddy who's almost fluent in japanese but he's 21 and about to move there for good.... when you get there, buy a bike lol

The crx, i'm not a fan of, but it does get tremendous gas mileage.

Underground_Killah, thanks so much for the book ideas. Despite the tittles of the books the "dumbies" series is great. I'm deffinatly gunna go and pick that one up! Thanks so much!

My friend just moved to Japan. He has a working visa for a year. He's got a small apartment and a girlfriend allready.(He's been there since March) and he's got a good job as an english tutor AND he speaks Japanese fluently. I think hell be there for a long time.

Thanks again!!!

Welcome to AF! Check out different areas and familiarize yourself with the site.

Familiarizing(sp.) Could take a decade! This site is SO! Extensive! Its amazing!

Thanks for the welcome Musashi!

welcome to AF. i hope we can give you insight into how to be a real car enthusiast and prevent you from becoming just another riceboy.

(btw they stopped making the CRX in 1991. just a tidbit of info. your 1992 is probably just a late 1991 model.)

Man I still don't beleive this guy is 14, I meen look at the way he posts, Vocabe Everything, who at age 14 uses words like Conceded, Extensive, even liability for gods sake lol and if you are 14 good on you, and if you're not stop trying to be a 14 year old ya kinky bastard........

when i was 14 i was still calling people fartknockers.

when i was 14 i was still calling people fartknockers.:lol: exactly what im saying man. I think the last thing on my mind was going to japan and hanging out on a car forum website. I give the kid major props.

intersting name, we have a Honda Dylan in the garage.

welcome man, a great website is howstuffworks.com ... you can do a search for engines, transmissions, turbochargers, superchargers, you name it, they've got it. It's a great place to learn stuff and they have wonderfull animations to help describe what they're talking about.

Photoshop of the regular Si, really doubt that Honda will bring back the CRX anytime soon.

And like Rocker said, howstuffworks is a really good site, I've learned quite the bit of info on there, and welcome Dylan.

:1:

Total photochop. Same thing was done when the RSX first came out too. I highly doubt the CRX will ever come back.

BTW, they stopped making the CRX in 91' except for in Canada and Japan (I think) where they continued to 92'. I think they continued to call the Del Slo a CRX overseas as well...

Anyway, welcome to AF...

:frown: I was wondering why it looked just like the Civic.

Aww thanks guys!

when i get back i will adress other posts.... bye!

Eh, you dont have to be 14 to be immature! look at me and Stig :grinyes:
Welcome to AF.

Haha!!! That's mildly depressing.

Okay so I just got an email from my dad and he said the CRX was an '85.

Boy I was wrong.

Well, that's because you came in saying that you have some things to learn and want a CRX as your first car. Most people come in thinking they know everything and want a car with at least 300HP for their first car. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders.

Welcome to AF. :wave:

Thanks! You guys are hella friendly!!!

... I tag. (as in graffiti) ...
Umm, might not want to keep projecting things of that nature on the web (trust me).

Welcome! Enjoy your stay here, I've learned a great deal of information here, even lurking and not posting. Hang around and you'll learn a bunch!

Being a tagger doesn't always mean you tag illegally. I mean I've tagged underpasses... But I don't go and tag trucks or walls of buildings.

nowhere in there did it mentioned "horsepower" nor 300HP, notice its locked

welcome dylan, watashi wa nihon ga daiski, sugoski nihongo o hanashimasu, anata wa?

Notice, I didn't generalize. And I closed that thread because we have the FAQ at the top for a reason. If you look in the rules it states not to post "what to buy" threads.

Nope... No idea what Moari is.

And Ricer said "I love Japan." And the second sentence had me stumped... I need to study more.

I already answered what maori is.

Yea I know you did... But I'm using a blackberry(which I pay for myself) so the internet is a little faster than dial up.

I am at my uncles house and his computer is shot so I'm using this.

I'm curious how do you pay for it yourself?? you working?

Well I bought it off of ebay for 82 bucks. The 30 a month for unlimited internet, email and data(internet AIM and the likes) I do a barder with my mom and dad. Things like painting, cleaning bathrooms(as in scrubbing it good) so yea.

A girl who goes to my school, her father opened a Lexus dealer by my house. I'm going to see if he can give me a under the table job of mopping window washing, stuff like that on like a sundays or something over the school year.
