lol I already took the subs out they weighed about 150 pounds or so, I know i need the suspension done it is the next thing on my list the car doesnt hook for **** right now smokes 1st 2cnd and chirps 3rd. Before I go to the track i'm definitally going to do the suspension and get some drag radials or something. But you think its 12's capable with the power I have?

this is your first car!? holy **** some kids are spoiled. My first car was an 800 dollar Thunderbird SC that barely ever ran and now i have my $2000 93 LX hatch with 160k miles on it. All my own money. and that was also after i had to pay like 5 grand in legal bills. I worked my *** off since i was 14 and the only **** i get is help with insurance(which is completely awesome). Count yourself very lucky and learn how to drive before you drive that awesome car into a ditch!

Lets not jump to conclusions now, I've also worked since I was 14 and currently work fulltime, thankfully its summer otherwise I'd have 14 hour days when you include school. I'm paying for this car and the only help I have is my brother loaned me the money...I'm paying for gas insurence anything and everything of mine, my parents provide a house over my head and thats all I ask of them. I buy all my other stuff from clothes to toothbrushes.

I'm da*n lucky to have a brother who loves cars like me and loaned me the money so I didnt have to pay interest to a bank.
