Bro don't just give up on the idea I'm legit building a car on a dishwasher's salary you don't need money for a project car you need lots of patience and as many skilled friends as possible. I'm currently a little over a year into build my first car and so far I have a full (700watt rms) sound system, a set of Enkei wheels on it wrapped in federals, a muffler delete, and I'm working on getting a set of coils adapted to fit it bc well nobody make anything for Geo Storms. Of course I'm like barely started but only about 5k(including the original price of the car) into a completely running driving car that's not shit rigged. It's ton of saving up a ton of saving and patience but as long as you adjust your expectations you could end up with something really nice in the end. So yeah your probably not getting a 1000hp dream car but if you just want to get in to the community a cheap 90s economy car or older mustang is a perfect start.

I'd recommend going with a car with a massive platform to start with, and/or don't live in Australia. Our shipping fees are shite, our economic value is shite, and personally trying to do all that, with a FK1 Civic, is very difficult.

Oh my dude, trust me on this one. Buying modified car sounds all cool etc., but it´s gonna be your NIGHTMARE. I also wanted modified car as my 1. car, so i did. Nothing crazy, but it was B swapped civic. I was still in school and couldn´t finish the build for shit. There was a lot of work to do, some things went bad and i barelly had money for gas. Trust me, i consider being so hasty one of my greatest mistakes. A lot of wasted money and looking like a fool. You srsly don´t need a lot of hp to have fun as long, as you treat your car well. Good luck in the future, i hope it works out better for you.

Its easy when your dream car is your only or daily. Any time something comes up for maintenance, try an do some research on whats the most reliable upgrade of that part
I found the best thing to do is to write down what you want your car to look like and feel like and ultimately be like, then start by writing out a build list of mods you want to accomplish. My first build, I did none of those things, and it became what my wife delicately described as an "eye sore".
IDK why but whatever that was at 1:05 had me cracking up. 😂

Save. Save. Save. While saving, plan it out. Watch install and review videos and read forums. By the time a sufficient amount is saved up, meaning you won’t go broke buying a part or parts, you’ll know exactly which brand to go with, what supporting mods are necessary, how to install, and what setbacks could occur with or after the installation. Most importantly, enjoy the process and have no regrets, just learn 👍🏼
Was last on the list but I made the cut! I'm absolutely in LOVE with my 2013 gli autobahn. I've done my research, did my homework and I'm going as slow as I can possibly go. Got my rotiforms on it and they pop! Now for diffuser and later on a stage tune upgrade. Thanks fitment Industries!

Save your money and do it right the first time. This can apply to a lot of things and not just cars.

As an FRS owner I was happy when my platform was mentioned as popular. Slow boy gang 🙌🏻
Throwback to when I was like 18 and had my old 280ZX. I decided to buy a rusted out flood car, when I didn't even know how to replace a head gasket or do any type of body work a let alone pull all the dents and replace all the rust. Fun times 😬
Dont be afraid to try out cheap options where you can. It can be beneficial in the long run
Step 1: get money Step 2: buy car Step 3: modify car Step 4: go broke
More power baby
It’s funny you mentioned multi piece wheels, currently refinishing a set of rays nismo LMGT3’s, I got a really good deal on them but refinishing them is getting expensive, still worth it though

I liked this video. I'm hoping to buy a Nissan Sentra B15 SeR Spec V if I can't find a B13 SeR in my area, or even just a 2 Door B13 with a manual transmission. It'll be my first COMPLETE build and I already have ideas on how it's going to turn out
Having an end-goal for the build would be helpful to keep expectations, budget and time committed in check.
I am in desperate need of new tires on my newly acquired ‘98 Civic DX but I’ve got a catalytic converter on the way and that’s going to be my first job on one of my own cars As a sophomore in high school I can’t wait to get behind the wheel
Excellent advice, and hilarious! "While im in there..." lol

Can you give some suggestions on getting custom parts? I have a 2015 2.0 Taurus, and I’d like to do some work on it, but there is no aftermarket demand. I would’ve went with a SHO, as AWD is preferred for my one hour drive one way to the hospital I’m a nurse at, but there hasn’t been any in my area, and so I settled for the 2.0
Hey Alex why not make a video on @Fitment Industries wheel inventory or their most rarest wheels?

Attempted making a diy cat delete pipe. Ended up with 3 / 4 broken manufold bolts and a terrible leaking exhaust. Ended up getting long tubes to compensate and learned from it
What are some ways to make more power without forced induction?

My mistake on my first build was a Datsun 1983 280 zx turbo. Oh and living in Wisconsin.
Ha my first project is an ongoing project . My mistake was well buying a NA 97 eclipse spyder that didn’t work as my first car and ended up making it work as a daily driver while having the intentions on modding engine one a limited budget at the time.XD after spending loads of money for no reason (tow trucks labor for absolutely nothing) I bough another car to daily drive and well going about the right way to start the car off. Oh ps the eclipse had a bad bad misfire that never went away even with a whole ignition system swap compression ratio is fine and ran through oil in less than a month for absolutely no idea as to why I used all my oil constantly.
Oh man, my mistake on my first car build is getting a 90 NA 300zx as my first build, after hating cars for the longest time. It was a rough few years. Until I broke her.

Check the forums for a "needed tools" list for any bolt-on part swap. There's nothing worse than having your car up on jack stands for another 4 days while you wait for the essential tool to come in the mail. Gotta thank the engineers for that hurdle to jump over..
