Alex L. Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 hey guys, dad and me just recently purchased the rest of my turbo kit. the guy lives in wasghington, so its gonna be quite some time before i get the parts, but i'm fucking ecstatic. i'm gonna be lookign for a little over 200 at the wheels to start, since i'm only gonna run 6-7 psi. i'm hoping for a fast car, so we'll see what happens. oh, and if you're wondering what kit it is, go to http://www.rabidchimp.com and check it out. i've been friends with that guy for awhile, and he makes good quality shit.

Buck531 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Not bad. You're a year older than my son. And I'll be dammed if I'm getting him a car when he turns 14.. let alone a turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 It's good for him to learn now. I bought my first POS at this age. I, of course, was very limited on when I could drive and where.

HAOLE Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Not bad his first car is a supra... mine was a pinto wagon. Lucky kid. Keep it up :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Mine was a 73 Lemans with a wrecked front end I paid $80.00 for it.I have a 13 yr old and we have been talking about a car for him to get started on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Wow. I would love to have that car. When I was 14, I was barely allowed to have a moped. Edit: But I definately, DEFINATELY, wouldnt have let my kid have a Supra for his first car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 But I definately, DEFINATELY, wouldnt have let my kid have a Supra for his first car. i'm not going to drive my all the time for my first car. i've been looking at cummins diesel dodge pickups. a reg. cab 4wd manual tranny sounds appealing. yeah, my car's come a long way. if you go to http://www.alexsuprasite.com/suprapics.htm and look from the bottom to the top, it's amazing. it looks like a different car now. i bought my beater for $700, and now we have almost $10,000 in it.

Kevin R. Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Why are you not condoning this? I wish my dad would have done this with me as a kid. You're telling me you wouldn't want your kid..at home..with you...working on a project car instead of out with other kids smoking, drinking, etc. I hope you build a kickass car and not be stupid with it. :nice: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 as cool as it is that you and your dad have found common ground in tinkering with your project beater, i pose this question to CR. What is worse, a benchracer bitch that drives a riced civic yet totes his buddy's awesome ass ___________mobile with 900whp OR A kid that can't drive for 2 years talking about how fast his car is gonna be?

The kid is proud of his project, you can't fault him for that. I applaud his father for wanting (and being able to) take the time to have a project with his son at that age. Not only is it good bonding time, but it shows him first hand what all goes into a project, so it's a pretty good incentive to not go out and wreck it the first day he has his license (like I did). That being said, I wouldn't go with an unreliable 7M, there are better and more easily modable engines that will fit in a second gen supra.

They wanna do something a little different. Here's what my 1st car kinda looked like. Try to imagine it two-tone, though. Black and gold. lol http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~wstef/pix/gsb2_s.jpg I bought two of them for $200 and used one as parts. I actually still have the car sitting on my 5 acre lot in Lake Limestone, Texas. It's got trees and shit growing out of it, now. No 1st gear, no reverse, had to hold it in the rest of the gears. Front windshield caulked in (never leaked), back seat out for lightweight mod (lol, actually it was so I could load my dogs in it.) At the time, we were living on dirt roads and there were miles of them. I never drove on the asphault - never needed to. I was 8th or 9th grade. I was 13. It taught me alot, though I will admit I was still an ass in it from time to time.... wait... eh, no different than now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 there's no way in hell i'm going to be stupid with this car. we've got way too much in it for me to wreck it. i've got the parts car to dick around in. heh, i almost roasted the tires off the old wheels with that parts car. even though i'm 14, i have a great respect for cars already. this can be attributed to me almost flipping a convertable. z rated tires and grass dont mix. :marc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
