Quote from atlantian :

does being cheap equate to being stupid?

Evidently yes...

"Allegedly" you can afford a car, yet you can't afford $50 for LFS? Now tell me, where's the logic in that? As for your "subtle" hints about under-age driving, I applaud you. Well done. Now have a cookie.

BTW, I haz a tractor

damn rich noobs.

@ atlantian, if your so smart, why doesn't ur mummy and daddy use the money from the car they bought you to educate you at a proper school? if you don't know, everybody has a brain, right now you don't. o^-^o

LOL @ atlantian being no longer welcome here.

He claimed that his imaginary friend had S2 and played over there.
which wasn't true. Although I'm still 16 almost 17 still have to wait a year for my driving license. And I easely could afford a 325i E30

How can a 16-year-old get insured on a 2.5L rear-wheel drive Beemer? It must be like €7,000, if the insurance company will even talk to you you...which is highly unlikely...

Affording cars when your young is easy. Insuring them is another issue.

In the US Insurance is virtually free, and there are a lot more spoiled kids with their first car as a nice 3-series paid for by Daddy.

EDIT - 13,000 posts. "Yay".

Insurance in Ireland is a complete rip off...it's €4000 for me to get insured on a 1.0L Yaris

And it's like €5000 for me to get insured on a 125cc bike...

It's a joke...paying insurance that's HIGHER than the vehicle's worth...

Nice one on the 13,000

I pay about 1200 euros a year for my Porsche's insurance.

However, law says that every car MUST have an insurance, so I'll guess it is because of that "so cheap".

Holy crap Jakg, are you at the forum 24/7?

And Atlantian just got it handed to him...

insurance here (ICBC) is incredibly high and goverment run says my parents. we pay more on insurance than fixing our 18 year old car.

I think that, while insurance rates may seem expensive over here, they are relatively cheap because salaries are fairly high. This explains why every household has 2 cars and at least 2 insured drivers. That's why I ain't complaining about my insurance. I also ain't complaining about gas prices being high, since other places (read: Europe) pay twice as much as we do.

When i turn 18 i'm 13 at the mo. I'm going to buy a 200SX S13. Since i saw one for about £50 lol.

Good luck insuring that, and good luck with the reliability of a £50 car!

Most countries have compulsory insurance, but here in the UK (and most of Europe i'd geuss) rip young drivers off like crazy

Laadidaadidaa... 2 insured drivers ...Laadidaadidaa

What? Drivers are insured, not the cars? That was new to me. :o

And you wonder why....?
Blame the movie industry for the stupid car related films, such as 2 fast 2 stupid, they produce. Kids then try and replicate what they see in their riced up 1.0l fiesta and go and stuff it into the nearest lamp post.

The trouble is any berk can hold it together for 30-40mins to pass a driving test and then go berserk straight after.

It doesnt matter whether you've watched these dire films or not, as a teenager, you are full of testosterone, impressionable, likely to show off driving and get it wrong. I know, I was one. I was trying to be Ari Vatenen. And got it wrong a couple of times. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbl8LgLXwRo

In fact come to think of it when i passed my test in 1989, the insurance for a 17 yr old (me) in a ford escort mkII was £300 and I only paid £300 for the car, so insurance has gone up relatively over time. I was being ripped off for being young and inexperienced, just like you are now.

Nissan's never die. And any way i'm going to mod it.

"Mod it" - the cautious way of saying "I love ricing, and I don't know much about cars".

Now, now...
It is possible to make a car look _different_, and still not bolting random stuff together:

Same car, different package...

Actually i'm going to install better fuel management and other things like that. I'm also going to change the visual look. AKA drift car lol. Nah actually it will be nice. I'm going to get some foose design rims. And and and weight saving things like a roll cage and bucket seats with 6 point harnesses ok they add weight lol. It will be a car people envy.

My point exactly.

Edit: Nope, my point exactly. Utter rice, and you obviously don't know much.

Edit2: better fuel management, because the original ECU is rubbish.
change the visual look so that people know you know nothing
foose design rims, but what about the rest of the wheel. Any you'll need new springs and dampers to go with the change in unsprung mass, and probably new geometry, which will almost certainly mean custom links... Unless you want to do it badly, like most people
weight saving things like a roll cage - adds many many kg
bucket seats - saves grammes
6 point harnesses - illegal for road use, and too difficult to put on properly for frequent use. But most people don't ever do them up tight enough for them to be even a slight advantage over inertia reel. You need a helper to do up a 6 point harness yourself.
It will be a car people with no IQ who read Max Power, grease their hair over their foreheads and say innit envy.

One has a silly bonnet lump, and some slightly out of place wheels. The other is standard, and worth more (except to idiots).

Check it now.
