Default im new to the tuner scene, got ?'s

1.) i currently have a '95 civic dx sedan (5-speed)... its a piece. it runs decent, no knocks, a slight tapping noise and it burns oil, should i just sell it?

2.) whats a good car to start with?

3.) i'm on an extremely limited budget, what are some cheap upgrades that'll boost my HP?

keep your civic as a reliable dd. That's what its supposed to be.

You might want to wait till you start modding cars.....

remember: If you have to ask how much it costs....you can't afford it.

drive it until it stops, save your money in the mean time, and find mechanic friends so you can somewhat understand what your talking about. once you get a little know-how and some money in your pocket, find a car you like and go to town.




ps- your right, you are not vroom vrooms child. you are now a child of vadriven, and it will spank you like your father did, or does.
