Planning.

[FireFox05]

Hey, I may have posted something to this nature back around new years, but I've had some time to refine it. Sometime in the next two years I'd like to start a project I like to call "The Ultimate Amature Blown Camaro". I'm only 16 now, so again this is all planing and it will probably not be untill I'm 17-18ish that it gets kicked off.

umm 2 questions - 1. are you freaking mad rich???
2. do you like hondas?

[FireFox05]

Oh, I forgot to add. What do you think my MPG and aprox. HP would be? Not including the turbo, obviously.

And also, no I don't like hondas. I asume you refer to the headlight covers and taillight covers? Those are questionable, and as for the ground effects, they aren't so bad looking.

dude...you might as well buy the car and buy the car cover and keep it covered cuz at 18 unles youve got extremely loaded parents or you stumbled on a winning lotery ticket...your going to be owing for that car for like the first 3-4 years then its gonna take you like 5-10 to get all that shit done..cuz your putting down prices for the parts...are you a mechanic..did you even think about what its going to cost you labor wise for the shit your NOT going to be able to do yourself...your talking about a 60-70 thousand dollar car at the age of 18...where you going to get this kinda cash at that age

[Mod'd_Cav]

oh and never mind the thousands you might end up paying for insurance for that car..cuz you think the agency is going to charge you regular price for that kinda car?

[88camaroproject]

i was referring to the neons,white face guages, WING, and yes the headlight and taillight covers. but whatever do what you want (and you will owe money for the rest of your life) enless of course your parents are so insane loaded it dosnt matter which in that case you should buy me a new car

[FireFox05]

Probably not. I already know all of that, known it for a while, don't need a lecture

Anyways, my uncle restores cars, he does fiberglass, body work, rebuilds engines, has a full service shop with lift. He runs a side business of rebuilding big rig steering pumps and hydrulic pumps. And as for the money, I know it's a lot. If I was 24 would you be saying the same things?

I know what I'm talking about, for the most part. Besides, it's always fun to plan ahead. I'd like to do all of this while at living at home so I don't have living costs, only a job and a car.

[FireFox05]

Neons? what neons? Ground effects means a body kit, not neons.

[88camaroproject]

oh shit sorry lol didnt realize that, lol oh ok well the wing is stil killing it. wait how tall is this wing?? if you get a big ricer one then its gayt but if its not then cool you dont like hondas. sorry about the misunderstanding

[89camaroperson]

i want money.....well guy if you can pay for it and not drop out of school....and you realllllllllyyy like working on your car a lot....then go ahead and dream big. You'll have to work on your budget planning though....but if you buy a piece at a time i think youll be fine....just dont be surprized if your back pocket starts to hurt.

[89IROC&RS]

well, ill try not to lecture you about this, as im sure youve heard it before, but in my opinion, a LS1 driven SS is too much for a first car in and of itself. Add all the other things on top, and there is a real chance you are going to kill yourself. I worked my way up to my IROC, and right now its only running about 270hp. and its more than enough to get me into trouble.

The issue of money is a real one, i saved alot of money because im a GM tech, got my parts at just above cost, and did all the work myself, and it still kept my wallet empty. Insurance is gonna be a kick in the crotch with your age and the car youre looking at.

to answer your question about if we would say this if you were 24, the answer is yes, if this was your first car, and you didnt have experience with high torque rear wheel drive cars.

We all had the same dreams and aspirasions, nothing we say is gonna change anything youre looking at, just be realistic, and dont be discouraged when things wind up taking years longer and costing thousands of dollars more than you thought.

[FireFox05]

^ Thanks, that was a nice reply. I doubt I will end up having this as a first car. In this case, it really does cost more to go first class.

I've been looking more resently at something like a Ford Lightning. Still sporty and fast, but not near as likley to kill myself.

[89IROC&RS]

lol, damn, expencive tastes all around. If you really wanna finish that blown camaro project, i suggest a slightly less expencive daily driver. Take a look at third gen camaro RS modles, they are selling for around 4-5 grand and are fuly reliable daily drivers with plenty of performance to keep ya happy. and will leave you at LEAST 20k to spend on your blown project instead of spending it on the lightning. You gotta pick your battles, if you want one expensive toy the blown project for instance, i strongly suggest comprimising on the second car. but thats just my advice, take it or leave it.
