Saturday night? I try to avoid the days the cops are out looking for racers and stuff, and saturday night is THE night for street racing, plus I'm going to concert saturday night... how about thursday night? What do you drive?

Well, I got another quick question.

I don't have a steady job, but this summer, I'm comming across a bit of money (around $4,000-$5,000) before I get my licence. Since I will have gotten my permit not long before, what do you guys suggest that I buy with that money?

I was thinking some wider wheels and tires, because 7.5's don't look all that great, and I don't want white rims this time. What size tire and rim combination that you suggest I go with? I was thinking a larger aspect ratio on the tire wall, maybe a 50 or 55? Because with the wheel and tire setup, you have that horrible front fender gap that the 240's are notorious for.

I was looking at some tein coilovers for when I'm ready for them, and a few other parts at www.jspec.com . Any and all advice is appreciated, and I hope to be joining you within the next year or two

Hehe, i would suggest, a good set of coilovers and a limited slip differential. maybe some t/c rods also. there are a bunch of local places that you can order these things from, you don't have to go to jspec in order to get the parts.



You could also do a swap with that kind of money
