$$$$$

[F1Streetracer500]

Okay listen... I am 14 years old. My aunt has a 1999 Honda Civic which she'll be giving me once i get my restricted license. Now i'm wondering if anyone experienced could give me their opinion on what i should get (brands and price) so i know how much $$$$$ i'm looking at and how hard i need to work to try an afford the parts.

I'm sorry if i sound rude but i just want to know what i should get first.
i don't care if ihave to learn to drive first, i'm working on that. Okay?

nothing learn to drive and get the car first.

wait like 6 months at least before you start messing around.

hell its a civic save up for a real car instead of sinking a ton into a econobox. I learned hard way.

You're 14... go play a Yugioh card game.

Don't worry about what car you think you'll be getting or even considering doing anything to it. Don't be stupid, just be a kid for now. We don't need to hear about you on the evening news how you wrapped your car around a tree 'racing' cause you thought you were hot shit.

Even when you're experianced at just driving normal, and you start playing around and going fast. Things happen way to fast, and definately not advisable for somebody who just got their license.

First time you get spooked while trying to 'race' might be your last. You haven't a clue what you're doing behind the wheel for the first few years.

My first car was an old 1970 Chevy Nova with a fairly potent V8. I was lucky I never got hurt in it, or got caught. A few times driving it I scared the hell out of myself just for the fact that in those rare cases where I had to avoid an incident. I didn't know what to do, but I was lucky and got through them.


At 16, you don't know your limits. You think everybody else is stupid and since you're young with your quick reflexes. It's okay to act like a jackass and weave in and out of traffic.

You're wrong. Play it cool, and you might live long enough to enjoy life behind the wheel.

you know redneck, we should have some type of sticky with near death accidents weve been in, and some of those posts were somone actually past away from street racing. the shit is dangerous, and scary.

i thought i ws the best driver in town my first year of driving, found out later that i sucked(lessons from my dad)

to the poster: fast and the furious is a movie- you dont go copying what you seen on the movie cause it looks cool

just as scarface is a movie, and though it looks cool, you dont go out playing with guns and killing for fun.

tis the same concept

just learn how to drive for a few years first

Ok, don't listen to somebody who's trying to keep you safe... and at the very least out of jail.


Go ahead. Go be a hero.

Kid, do you have ANY driving experence at all?

Did you race Karts?

Did you have a gokart at all (a real one...not one of thoes pansy ones with a 3.5Hp briggs regulated to 20mph).

One reason i have the driving skills i do is because i have had a gokart capebale of 55mph since i was 10. my mom also let me drive her car on empty roads and in my grandparents feilds since i was 13.

a little civic wont do much, even with just the turbo kitso ut for hte D16. but being on top of hte wirld at 16 (like i am now) thinking you are hot shit is bad enough. putting yourself in a car which has a little bit of go to it and you thinking your life is impenatrable and that you have skill...well that is a recepie for disaster.

either way, wait to get a car...paying for insrance while you are 15 and not even geting to drive it is no fun..from experence.

correct me if im wrong, he asked a question which was never answered, but let me be the first to do this, i would go with the suspension first, go with an eibach or skunk 2 lowering 1.3- 2.5", get some rims and rubber..........and also as the rest of the people are saying, drive your car as it is first to get use to it, then once u got some experience behind the wheel then start modifying it......

[streetrcr45]

you notice that his question didn't get answered because of his stupidity and ignorance?!?!?!

[RedLightning]

I wish ppl would stop calling all nitrous "NOS".

My feet are itching.......








ITCHING TO HELP ME SHIFT SEVEN TIMES...HAHAHAHAHAHA.............

thats what happens to people when they get ideas and lessons from the wrong people.

Step one......learn how to drive first before you discuss what mods you are wanting ...or even racing.......Step two....... grow up a few more years when you are old enough to pick up chicks. Step three......get some driving EXPERIENCE first before you do step two.


STEP four..........learn the names of the companies first.....it is not nos.

I'm gonna screw everyone up by saying that I got my maxima as my first car, and for a new driver it's a powerful car, and I was screwing around in it a couple months before my license...no accidents, not even a fender bender in nearly 6 years of driving...maybe I just got skills....:-P
