    New Young Guy

     






    Just wanted to say hi and show some pics of my sub. Car has 3" out of the windows and about 2" out of the roof. Got the car as a gift when I was 14 and was just gonna put a motor in it till ideas started flowing. I'm now 22 and the car has been on the road for a year or so.






    since I know there is some rice rocket haters here I thought I'd post the daily driver




    Looks like a great site here, look forward to spending some time on it.

    I've got a quick little turbo 4 banger CRX that loves to play w/ the V8's also


    But yea, all my dads friends give me shit for messing w/ imports, they are all old school guys w/ 7 second cars that run in the Good Guys nostalgia series. I've suprised them a few times w/ things I've brought by that I've worked on. I'm just a young man that loves them all. I think my next project is going to be a lowrider w/ switches :rofl: But a 50 merc is tempting me

    For now it's got a little built 406" It's a stout motor and a great runner. Have it connected to a 4L60. The things a cruiser as you say, I've got a 540 sitting in a buddies garage that's for my taking, just not sure if I want to do it. I like to drive this thing to much (have 3,000 miles in the last few months ) and am happy w/ the 13 mpg I'm getting Esp. w/ these cali gas prices





    here are some more pics



    here's a picture w/ the new Baer brakes and it all polished up after spending a day w/ the guys at meguiars
