Quote from Luke.S :

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.

Rollcages and 6 point harnesses? Man, you don't need those if you don't have planned to flip your car over...

Just safety features. I fell safer with those. Look how many lives they have saved in WRC.

Look how many lives carbon monoxcoques have saved in F1, but I don't see any sensible person changing their commuter car to carbon monocoques... What a stupid argument. You do know that without a helmet a roll cage will, roughly speaking, make a car 200 - 400% more dangerous.

I feel safe enough in a track, even I don't have 6-point harness or roll cages (Those are not requirements in a slalom cup, as there is only one driver at a time in a track).

Instead I have:
a) Helmet
b) Threepoint belt (Normal you-and-me seatbelt)
c) Skills/Carefulness/What ever you like to call it

Quote from tristancliffe :

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

And the stock car is mine (Am I not an idiot now..? ). The other car is also 100% porsche. However, it has rear spoiler from 968, mirrors from 928, scoop from 924 and bodykit from 951. I don't know what tires those are, but they are from porsche as well (There are porsche logo in the middle). Imho. It looks good. And it has also been modified (Been in windtunnel, adjusted suspensions, etc, etc, etc. It is not just the looks. It has over twice as much hp than the original one).

Personally I like the "riced" 944 - It probably is just rice but so what? it looks nicer to me and i don't care.

I'm sure that Luke plans on telling the insurance company that he's a 17 year old with a "modded" S13 and i'm sure they will be VERY happy to give him a cheap quote.

I think, iirc from another thread, Luke is actually 13. i.e. still at the age when he draws guns on cars, and wants jet engines in them.

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.

Okay, it was this thread. But the point is he can pretend all he likes about upgrading engines or adding rimz, but he's got a LOT of growing up to do before he even THINKS about real cars in a sensible way. If he sticks with guns and lego he'll have a much better childhood.

i found the perfect insurance company in the bog roll pages in the back of the topgear magazine they specialize in young drivers and modified cars. And i don't draw guns on cars and a jet engine would make it into thrust ssc i'm happy with a nice 2.0l petrol engine.

Why look for insurance companies now if you have FOUR years (over a quarter of your life so far!) before you can even start.

Maybe you should stick to guns and jet engines in your sketches.

i don't like guns or jet engines.

I like Jeep

Water cannons? Missile Launchers? Stealth Machines? Anything that's more suitable to your age, because real cars are way out of your depth right now.

Edit: Perhaps like this?

@Tristan: Ya missed Fisher-Price and Watch with Mother :P

Of course they are thats why i have driven in a field at full pelt in an old mazda. And had a ride at 130mph in a Ferrari 355 F1. And thats why i know most car names and losts of other facts. Thats why i play LFS and not NFS thats why i have an actual interest in the things. Thats why i yes this is true have the order form for a veyron. BTW does any one have £1mill i could have for a veyron?

A field. Wow. Sarcasm
130mph? Wow. Sarcasm (and shame about the gearbox)
Car names? Wow. Sarcasm
Other facts? Bit ambiguous. What sort of 'facts'.
Order form for Veyron downloaded off the net. Wow. Sarcasm. Even if you were given it at a motorshow by a belittling rep - wow. Sarcasm.

By the way - you don't ever want a Veyron. Get a proper car that's quick, like an Exige or a Seven (not with a crappy bike engine) or a Radical.

The Exige pwns thats one of my dream cars.

Oh please, should we just shut up and let this awful thread die?

Never! There's still some dreams left in that young lad that need crushing!

lol.

lol what's wrong with yer Ford Mondeo or something? It may not look ricer, but I'm sure it still goes like the clappers!

Or if you're going for Veyron money, why not get like 3 Audi RS4's or something?

M power.

It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand.

Meh. Daewoo. Prepare to want one.

Thrust SSC. Speeding ticket at 799mph lol.
