I agree, learn to work on your car. That way when shit happens you can fix it instead of taking it to a shop and having them tear you a new ass hole. Also when you work on your car its YOUR WORK, not your mommy and daddys money's work.

in terms of the car i would work on the suspension first ... then brakes... and then the engine... b/c

weak suspension= car going out of control= crash
weak brakes= can't stop= crash

but either way... with 450hp...no matter how good your car handle... you can still crash...if the driver can't handle.

then again people will crash sooner or later in motorsports.

[!Zar!]

Come on what do you plan on doing with 450+ hp? Slow down and think reasonable like 250. That's enough to plant you in your seat and to beat most cars out there. Now put down the mag and get in touch with reality.

Idiot... You make me want to kill myself. Go back to school and enroll in some remedial english classes.

[m0rex]

Drive your car for a good 4000 miles. Then come back to zilvia.net.

^^^hahalol...first post is a flame! i think sub_versions has joined the right forum. *shakes head*

[the head]

450 in a 240 is more than you can handle

Back in HS I had a 94 trans am it was about 3500-3800 lbs and was about 260-275 at the wheels (auto) That car was a lot for me to handle when i first started driving and it took me a year or so going to auto x to really keep constant control of the car.

I sold it and bought a 99 WS-6 trans am which has more hp in roughly the same curb weight. It was esentially the same car so adapting to it was not very difficult.

Currently my daily driver is an 04 SL55 AMG while the same curb weight it puts down 493hp and over 500ft/lbs of torque and it is beyond starteling when you hit the loud pedal if you punch it below 50 the tires break loose.

now take a car that weighs signifigantly less and throw 450 in it you will kill yourself at your age with a car like that I know because i have seen it happen over and over again. Learn your car, it takes time to do but it is worth it in the long run. After you spend a year or so working on the car and getting the feel for how it handles then you should look into performance, even at that though look at suspension and brakes first. Don't ebay your parts remember you dont want to cut corners on things that protect your ass.

ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER!!! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!
OMG man. Seriously, above all this car stuff, stay the hell in school.... I'm pretty sure I knew what punctuation was, and how to use it in conversation, WELL before I was 16.

You're telling us that all your lil friends, with new licenses in hand are driving 450HP Evos? I call bullshit.... buy hey maybe I'm wrong... maybe all your friends are rich little punks with no respect for what it takes to earn a living, while I think that's a hugely wussy way to live... no one in such a situation would prolly be inclined to look a gift horse in the mouth, not in this country at least

"down here we drift auto x"
ok, wtf is that? Was this buzzwords thrown together to give the appearance of having some automotive knowledge? So far all you've done is prove everyone right who is throwing u into the stereotype of being a punk kid who's too inexperienced yet to know shit about shit. I'm not saying that's who you are, but that's how you've making yourself look w/o help from anyone else.

Why is it there is such a shortage of true enthusiasts? When I was first learning, I made it a point to be humble. When you want to learn from someone(s), how much help you think you'll get by fronting and copping an attitude? When I started out, I pointed out in every post that I was a newbie, and was looking for guidance and advice. I came with my glass empty, ready to receive whatever knowlege I felt would help me... you come with your glass mostly full, despite the fact that what we'd add will sour the current concoction of inexperience, angst, and attitude.

If you truly wanted to learn, you'd be more humble.
... but it doesn't seem like that's what you really want.

From what you've posted so far, it seems that all you really want is to throw $ at something and beat everyone in streetracing (which is really lame to begin with). The good news is there IS a car just for you. Cheap compared to uber ferarris and such, it's called the Murcielago. Put your bankroll down, get insured, then begin destroying ppl.

Til you get to that point, you'd best learn to be nice, honest, and humble with people you're trying to glean advice from (wow! just like in real life!) instead of being an eThug.

StreetRacing is gay...You are the reason why my insurance is so damn high, and the cops pull me over every time I drive my car. Thank you.

[kandyflip445]

I can feel it coming if the flames don't stop.

[SochBAT]

Obviously, if you drift auto x, you'd realize you DON'T NEED 450 HP!!!! Good luck winning first with that much HP in a fairly lightweight chassis buddy. Really, if you want 450hp, get something else, like a Geo Storm and do a powerplant swap. Drag is cool and all, but if you even have thoughts of drifting/auto x, as you say, you will realize that 200rwhp is good enuff.

And i'd like to see how a 16yearold handles 450hp. "Hey guys, wanna see how fast i can go in my car?" SKEET SKEET SKEET SKEET, VROOM!!!! CRASH!!!!!
"oh, brakefade."
then your smirk asian friend would say "pwned"

OH, and if you still want 450hp, in terms of power/cost ratio, domestics are better.

IROC Camaro, El Caminos, Firebird, Chargers, all that good stuff.

I'm guessing but with about 6k, you could probably built up a 450rwhp domestic, as compared to a 450hp SR/KA. In the end, you'll still blow something up.

PS... You've reached 'Zilvian Enlightenment'

And there you have it. You're doing all this to participate in something both highly illegal and violently dangerous, risking the lives of everyone driving on the expressway around you, just to be cool and 'go home with a smile'. You have won the stupidest fucking idiot of the decade award on that comment alone.

Should we write to your parents now and apologize for not pushing their son into using his peebrain and actually showing common sense, or wait until you die in a fiery crash taking the lives of a dozen innocent people with you?

"But Mr. and Mrs. xxxxxx, he was trying to go home with a smile, you know how serious the life of a hardcore illegal street racer can be. We're also sorry to the families of all the people who lost their lives because you couldn't raise your son not to be a fucking moron, but hey, I heard he may have won the race if he hadn't stuffed the car into a wall at 125mph."

He probably doesn't know how to make it go over 115mph.

[moe240sx]

I dont get how he said he wants 450hp so he wont get smoked by these evos and rx7's, and he also drifts too...I am confused maybe another smart 16 year old can explain this all too me...

[JDMark]

hes just another dumbass highschool kid with unrealistic pipe dreams about cars. its all talk, who cares.
lmao at the word "tuner" btw

[ranisron]

Who cares? just beacuse you are 16? you will realize how stupid you are once you are 23 and have gotten your license suspended (if you are still alive by then).

you don't need that much power to have fun. you are not showing to others how much hp you have, I assume you bought the car because you liked her.

Along with that FSM, using the search button can teach you amazing things, also investing in some grammar instruction can be a big plus as well. No, you can't drive for shit, not unless you drive a shifter kart, which I highly doubt that, and if you did. A 240 most likely would not be your dream car neither.

Since you're in miami what gave you the idea a 240 would be able to handle a RX-7 and an EVO. Simply put get a civic, GS-R block, Full Race stage 3 turbo kit. smoke all those cars. then realize "damn i can't stop fast enough" stuff your car into something hard, die slowly. I'll snatch what's left of the turbo system.

Have your mangled corpse photographed and put online for us to say "pwned"

[sideview_180sx]

grammar bitch learn grammar!!!! you already dug a hole as an idiot who won't listen to those who have more experience then you. first things first, if you want to learn about engines, go to tech and read the fucking FAQ you TOOL. Afterwards spend the next month searching this site to learn more about what could happen to your car and how to fix it. Next search online once you have decided on your route of building your car, of what products to go with. No tein basics, nor super streets are good coilovers for your car.
