I say you must have at least $1500 left over in an account after extensive mods to a car... if you only care about the car.... and thats if you currently have a job. if you dont have a job, i wouldnt consider spending 70% of your current savings on mods. remember you have to look into the future and have a nice buffer zone in your bank account. I saw you post in some for sale threads about making monthly payments on a $6000 car. that would be ok, but dont consider extensivly modding one if you cant even pay for it in full and have a nice sum left over. Your 17 and new to cars, that ok, and i understand as we all were new to cars once. but learn some accounting skills before you buy even an aftermarket intake.
If you can think of a type of car your seriously consider purchasing, go join a forum specifically related to that car. Example, i was looking into 240sx for a daily driver so i joined nicoclub.com and 240sxforums.com and i didnt post much, but i read a lot of threads and was a lurker. learned all the engine codes and the swaps people do and the basic cost and difficulty of those swaps. I read the technical FAQs and stuff. A week or 2 of straight reading and you can gain a lot of info. and to not look like a dumbass and post assinine questions i always use www.google.com that always can answer your question pretty quickly.
and i really do in all honestly suggest you re-register with another username (new email needed probably) if you consider posting more. you can keep your current username just for the purpose of randomly asking weird questions.
and a 2002 Altima is better than the 1992 230,000 mile Civic that you can afford.
