Woah Modding Car Looks...fully Sick?

[Kerr34]

hey guys just got a quick one here my friend is looking at getting a lancer for his first car as he does not wanna spend alot, on the car and on the insurance. He asked me to ask u guys what you would think if he modded the looks here are some things he wants to do:

Evo Body Kit, VI or IV most likely

Mags

Full exhaust system

Lowered

Change racing steering wheel

and gearknob

Neons

I know this is a skyline club guys but yea please leave you honest opinions. he is really keen to find out wat car enthusiasts would think. His motto is if others do it why cant i

Cheers again

Wouldn't bother.

Had a mate do something similar, he sold it and bought an XR8 ute.

[Kerr34]

yea my mate wants a nice car its just while on his p plates he cant really afford insurance.

[dan_the_man]

tbh it's his car so he should do with it as he pleases.

However, my first thought when I see a lancer with alot of cosmetic styling is "you twat... it's never going to be an evo."

That's just me though. It's his first car so I think regardless of what advice we give him, he has already made his mind up anyway.

[viet_boi]

tell him get a Honda..nice wheels and dump it on its ass...should do alright..

or wait awhile then...SKYLINE FTW

[bubba]

How much does he have to spend? a stock R32gtst isn't very expensive and is an infinitely better place to start.

[Kerr34]

he is undecided atm and thus the bulliten post any advic is good advice he thinks so please help... also just wondering if he does go throuigh with it do you guys/gals no any good places to get it done

[Kerr34]

viet boy what kind of honda like a civic?... yea bubba but the insurance 4 a p plater on Red P plates wud be a fortune... ahaha for some reason skylin has a bad name for younger kids... damn fast and th furious

in the future he wants a skyline or s15 or sumthing nice

[viet_boi]

maybe a Civic, Accord (New model), Integra..prices are cheap for them..

something with vtec in it for abit of go, way better than a Lancer engine.

but is your mate trying to stay away from turbo cause of insurance? cause if not...180sx, silvia do alright

[FATAZZ]

True story.

EVO-68U = A STANDARD lancer that get around my parts,full chameleon paint job,evo 8 bodykit i guess(going by number plates) huge F off cannon no doubt on ridiculous angle to kerb(cant remember) & big chromies.

when i pulled up beside it i almost sunk,as i thought it was a real evo8 then these lil 13yr olds on bmx say to me 'race him' im thinkin F off its a damn evo8. so taking off no boost what so ever and im infront of him,look in my mirror to see NO FMIC ghey!

It's like putting socks down your jocks.lol

P.S Another lancer i see on the way to work,its a damn ES or whatever they are(my boss has one) anyway this tool drives around with the number plates 'IMPRTD" don't people like this have sensible friends? or are their friends laughing as hard at them as i am.

P.P.S and yes theres also a bunch of fwd lancers with evo engines that haul ass.

I dont know what budget he has on the build (including the car purchase) so its hard to say. A modded lancer is normally deemed a teenage girl thing. I understand he wants to do as everyone else does, but everyone else gets taken as a joke to.

My thoughts would be an R32 or R33 N/A are rather cheap these days...and being N/A insurance etc shouldnt be too bad. Maybe some of the guys here with N/A's or had N/A's could shed some light?

[viet_boi]

N/A R33 insurance, 15k agreed value, I was paying $800, this was when I was 17 near 18. and just on my P's

price probaly has gone down now since it has been awhile

[Kerr34]

Actually a non turbo skyline wouldnt be too bad for a p plater... good thoughts i totally forgot i had a non turbo 33 and it was fine still kicked a little arse well deff of the lancers etc that wanted to drag lol.... yea he is trying to stay away from turbo onc the insurnce company hears turbo they flip out...

[bubba]

IMO, I wouldn't waste money doing anything up until he can afford to do it to a decent car.. no point getting a lancer, civic, n/a skyline/silvia and blowing money on making it look pretty if he's going to get himself a turbo when he gets off his P's.

Get a bunky, drive it for 2yrs, save money, THEN get a real car and go nuts

[Kerr34]

cheers viet boi i shall tell him this... keep the posts coming guys you are being alot of help

[Kerr34]

he has up to about 13K including mods if this helps

[Kerr34]

So get a peice of junk and drive it till he can get something decent? i think he is ashamed to do that since he is nearly 21 and all of his mates have gone past the first car stage

[Kerr34]

BTW viet boi, how did u get it that cheap was it under your parents name and u as a driver? he is pulling figures out of his arse lik a magna wouild cost 1.1k

[dan_the_man]

he has up to about 13K including mods if this helps

$5k corolla

Keep the rest of the money and keep saving more for his second car (which could be a nice 32 GTR ) in a few years.

Boring and totally uncool, but it's a sensible move

[Kerr34]

dan ahaha ive told him that many times, my first was a accord 93 had full leather and shit i got it for 4k ahaha now i have my little beast =]
