Anyways OP, you've got some saving to do. Like others have said, read as much as you can now, then carefully post questions later. There are too many haters/assholes on here that will try to bring you down. Best thing to do is ignore their crap, becuase that's all it is, crap.

Good luck on your car hunt!

Nah, people just dont wanna touch this one...it already has too much fail written all over it.

You dont need a challenge, you need a dependable reliable car.

I would love to have it as like a weekend car/daily/drift car you feel me? Its fun to go sidewayz but I would do it at a track and parking lots. I gotta be 18 to get the car according to my dad . Well by then well probably move, have a bigger garage cuz we got a 69 camaro and 56,55 Belair. So ill probably have alot of money. And thanks again for the support dude.

$4 an hour does not equal to alot of money. Between gas and insurance alone, will eat up more money than you can afford. Well not unless daddy's paying for your gas and insurance. These cars are not exactly under 25 yr old insurance friendly, even tho they're getting old as shit. Last thing you need is waste money on a car when you have alot of other things you can do to enjoy your teenage years. Trust me, you dont need your money wrapped around something that will eat all of it. Again old ass cars, too much shit could go wrong with these cars, its not even funny. Picking up somebody else's project is not gonna be conducive for you since you dont know your way around these cars.

For being a 15 year old and not having a job I think its reasonable... $4 an hour aint alot, ik that but im getting paid off the books. Ans my dad wont pay for my gas at all. He never grew up havig his dad giving him money for gas and insurance, so itll go the same way for me. I understand that these cars can be a bitch to work on, and that they can run into problems. I just want to have that car that ik, that I put money into and everything. I gotta be 18 till i get my full license so ill have a good amount of money if i save it. Xbox really aint important to me anymore, i dont buy any games really. I just want to have the car just like everyone else has. I may get put down, dont stop me, you may be right, but its my decision. Its the car of my dreams besides as couple others but all them others cost more then one of these cars. I want to go to Japan and get into race tuning and shops, and hopefully be able to maybe get an r32, and a couple other cars, def the r32 i would Import to America, if I joined the Airforce, you be able to like ship it over.

Best air intake is the deep breath after selling your 240.$4/hr isn't gonna cut it and just isn't enough for owning/modifying these cars. Don't waste your money. Finish college and get a good job or find one that pays more because there are things way more important than 240's.

that exactly.

I think i threw something like 300-400€/month on my s13 since i bought it, that is excluding fuel (which in Europe costs a lot, unless you go e85 - but then dont expect to make more than 250 miles per tank) and a lot of labor that i do myself. I think i bought it in 2007 or 2008, and i keep spending money on it. This month that was 400€ for circuit sport rear lower arms, 150€ for circuit sport camber arms, and another 150€ for a sample race battery that i have to test. In december i had to get some things done (custom exhaust, new header w/ EGT bung, intake with recirc BOV, various checks, new injectors, helical diff install and so on) , and that was another 1500€ out of my pocket.

That thing is a bottomless money pit, not exactly what you should drive when earning that few money.
