research on this site before you do anything. learn about your engine, what horespower means, what torque means, how to compare two engines and how they perform. the pros and cons to NA and FI, as well as the different forms of FI avalible (supercharger and turbo)

this should be done before you waste any of your money on bad mistakes and costly repairs. also, you need to understand that a car isnt everything, dont just jump into this, do you need money for college, for an aparment or rent, stuff like that. for many of us it is a very tight challenge to overcome, i mean how important is it for you to go so fast?

dont do it for girls
dont do it for a reputation
do it because you enjoy driving your car.

well right now i still live at home, im 19 and i am in school training to be an EMT so i can become a fireman. i want to do this to my car because i enjoy my car not just some rich ass white boy, ive worked hard saving up my money to buy the car, and ive saved up the extra money to do something towards my car. i am very meticulious about my car. its not just a car. ur car somewhat represents you. i will have to post some pictures of my car it is a very clean gsr i got it about a month ago from a 70 year old man always garaged and all shit done at acura i have reciepts from day 1 of car, its black on black leather i dont think anyone has even sat in the passenger seat leather is mint.

good call.. my dads truck got broken into 4 times, all 4 times only the stereo was taken... (and we live in anaheim hills) "rich white boy area"... i still work for my shit... but it's just a really "nice" area... 3/4 of those times were in anaheim hills... it got to the point that he cared so little... the 4/4th breakin left a really nice screwdriver... he still has it to this day ... and uses it
