Don't get a convertible for legit track racing, they weigh more and are usually less rigid in the chassis

Also a manual will be more fun if you know how to use it

My b i havent came back to the thread, ive been doing more research & been asking people i know in cali and my state to keep an eye out for good examples of stuff im looking for

I know but its so good

Its a pain and the bmw is a money sinkhole

All cars are money sinkholes. I got 3 of them, I know.

If you aint got a Type R Aventador 5.0 V20 9 speed SS E Sport Limited Edition Mach 1 Anniversary Trim in exclusive first year Green you a whole ass loser b

Depends but i also want to do more than go in a straight line

Faxx 💀

Yeah, a convertible im trying to avoid unless its a better deal by a substantial amount

We have a basic oval in my city and the next city over has a legit circuit that is also used for events n such

Wanna start with the oval and then head over

Its a lot cheaper if you source parts & can work on it yourself for basic stuff, or at least know someone that is willing to help you through it

Its also why im trying to get a car that is decent out the box and can do something already, then it also has the platform to become more when i want it to be

I wanted to do this after i watched Initial D but never went through with it

This is tru, my dad loves everything 60s and 70s

Beems especually tho, especially the 90s and pre ones

Lot of reliability issues in general, but especially if you want it to be performance based instead of stanced tf out just standing there

What u working on?

5.0 mustang gt is the best

I come from a big car family on my dads side and a motorcycle family on my moms

My dad is/was a staright up west coast lowrider nigga of the 80s/90s and did some street racing in the 80s n 90s.

Two of my 3 earliest memories in life is my dad strapping me and my older bro in his new impala 67 for a ride around the block before taking it to the shop

Then the other of me being in the back of his 90s big blovk chevy truck street drag racing a dude late at night with 2Pac Amitionz as a Ridah blasting loud AF on his subs shaking tf out my seat and soul lmao 💀

Real 1.
Thats what its looking like 🤔

Gonna spend the rest of the year looking for a decent to good example of the 3, mainly the Stang.

Hoepfully i be ready to roll legitimately sometime next year after basic tuning n detailing 🤓

Gonna turbo the foxbody or gonna supercharge the camaro when it comes to it

I mean, any car that's 30+ years old is going to have issues. Get what you want from the beginning and work from there. That or you'll be stuck with a car you really don't care about and don't want to work on.

Nah thats a real money pit

If i was stancing it out where its gonna barely do anything, or if i was gonna drift it out where you strip it then yeah maybe 🤔

Faxx thats what im doing.

Thats why the cars ive been browsing for are stuff i also genuinely like just in general.

I know it mainly takes time too more than anything, a paint job can take months alone.

So thats why i want to a decent to good example of a car i genuinely like alreafy off rip that is drivable already instead of a legit from scratch project car.

Thinking about getting a 2000 to 2006 Lincoln LS car as a daily too.

Nah my E30 is super cheap for parts. I can still find a lot of the OEM stuff online brand new.

My 280zx on the other hand...

Forreal? Im competent but im not extremely handy & always heard of bmws being real easy or expensive af.

The datsun i imagine tho, older nissans are usually tougher and not much people know about them outside of enthusiasts

I want to do a bmw or a nissan after this. I almost bought a clean 240sx convertible a few years back, but i had a health problem that didnt allow me to drive then so i had to skip 😭

i have an e90 m3 and easily dumped 10k+ so far and i continuously tell myself itll get better when in reality i have a new code or something i "can" fix every week

moral of the story..dont get a bmw

Everyone says they either have a really good experience or a really bad experience when theyre working on a bmw 💀

Heard the 2000s ones are the worst cuz of the computers, "certified mechanics" n s***

honestly working on them is easy..well thought out design. just parts are so damn expensive

yeah you definitely need a code reader handy cause the ecu/dme acts up at least once a month

Thats why im trying to stay domestic for my first real project 💀

I love the E30 tho one of my favs along with their old ass super car of the 70s n 80s, the original M1

OP starting with minor races

within 10 years he'll be pulling of major heists for the CIA and stopping worldwide terrorists
