lol, i have a quote for insurance at almost $7000, so since i still live with my parents they have agreed to register the car under there name so i could get it insured for $850 a year. The only problem is if i crash it, i will have to pay a shitload extra :) but i dont plan to crash such an awesome car !

using money from your trustfund to buy a $80k+ car as your first car is the stupidest thing I have heard, and your parents letting you do it is even funnier.

why dont you wait until your like 25, and on a rating 1 or something, start with a cheaper car so you can get some driving experience, and cheaper insurance as well as easier rating. you gotta taste the sour before you can appreciate the sweet :(

but good luck to you none the less, your gonna need it :)

God, i think some of the old boys here have forgotten what it's like to be 17. No matter what anyone tells you, you don't listen. If you've got your heart set on it and it makes you happy then go for it. If he's telling the truth, then nobody here knows what his situation is.

But, still, if you asked me, i'd say buy something with a little less power to start with. At 18 and with no real serious driving experience, even a simple r32 gts-t can get you into a lot of trouble if you don't know how to handle the power.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
