Project Prelude: Part 1 [56k - go change your oil]

[Raghavan]

Ricer style would be to buy 2 18" rims and put them on the rear wheels but leave the fronts stock and claim for them to be your "drag wheels".:P

     

[Fire It Up]

If you put on bigger wheels, are you gonna drop it?

i don't think Ben's a ricer....

[Run Away]

I'll drop the car before I get new wheels, new wheels are very expensive.
If I do get wheels, I'll have to drop it because it'll look really stupidly high up, not to mention the huge wheel gap.

H&R Sport Drop Springs on the white one is what I'm looking to get in a few years:


I really like those springs, but I might settle for Ground Control coilovers because winter driving would be horrible with a lowered car.

why don't you get the air bag suspension?

[Run Away]

:blink:
Because the Prelude isn't a lowrider...
Air bags also don't help improve handling much either, plut they're expensive.
$260 US for the Ground Control coilovers, I would lower the car during the summer then in the winter I could raise it back to stock height.

nvm... the ground control thingies do the same thing.

In a few years?  

[Run Away]

School is expensive, and work this summer is not working out.
I want more hours, they don't give me them, so I pick up other jobs, and they start interfering, etc..

[Fire It Up]

You go to a private school?

[Run Away]

No, I'm going to college next year.

[Raghavan]

No, I'm going to college next year.

you have to pay for it??

[Fire It Up]

I guess he does.

[Run Away]

Not all of it, but I want to pay for as much as I can.

Unlika alot of people here, I work and manage my own money and buy all my own things. Parents just give me a monthly allowance for clothes, a little bit of spending money and other neccesities (sp) and I get to budget and use it as I want.

I don't get an allowance for clothes or anything. it's just birthday or work money. Hell, i don't even have a car!

[Run Away]

Yeah, but do your parents pay for your clothes? Your shoes? Your toiletries, your school outings and fees?

[Raghavan]

yeah, but so do yours.

Indirectly.
Like I said, I'm the one that manages all my money and purchases.
Say they give you $100 to buy any type of shoes you want.
Would you buy $30 cheap-o shoes and pocket the other $70 or spend it all on a good pair that will last 3 years?
I usually end up saving and only buying things when they are on sale or have a friend that works at the store and can give me a discount, etc.

see, it's much better for you. you can manage your money and buy whatever you want at whateever the price and pocket the rest, but i don't get extra money, and my parents just buy everything for me.
