My new ride

[Ponch]

Cool Ponch. Feel good to have your own car?? It's nice that it has an Si motor swapped in. (Which one exactly??) You can do some work to it in the future to make it fairly quick if you want to play around with it for a while. I don't mind the wheels, but I think 18s are too big on that car. Doesn't leave you with much cushion for a surprise pot hole. I would personally sell them (if they were in good shape, can't tell from the pics), buy a used set of slightly smaller but still after market wheels (they should be cheaper since most people don't want after market wheels smaller than 18") and then use the extra money that you would have from selling yours to mod (or put gas in) the car.

Cool though. I can't wait to get something else other than my GTI.

Kinda feels good... Since I can actually do stuff to it, and my parents don't freak as much about me driving places (before we split the gas 3 ways, but since I'm paying for all of my gas they don't care as long as I have the money saved).

It's got the 99 Si motor swapped in, 160 hp stock plus the intake/exhaust so somewhere around 170-175 I'd guess as it sits now.

I already ditched the 18's, the car got wayyy slower from a dead stop and I didn't like it, so I put some 16's I have on there. They look decent



It's those, but they are silver (machined aluminum) not painted like those.

Spent the cash from the 18's on tools.... got like a 170 pc set of tools, a jack, 2 jackstands, wheel chocks, and a creeper.
