Hi every1 just joined, hoping to learn lots bout cars lol =)

Hey! Always nice to have a newbie that wants to learn.

piece of advice. when peeps start bitching at you, just ignore them. it may seem like they hate you, but they dont. everyone bitches at each other, and newbies get a lot of it. just have fun and learn stuff. and apologize even if you didnt do anything, thats half the battle. welcome to the site (am i allowed to say that, or have'nt i been here long enuff?)

you wanna learn about carsd first step is read research and read some more and when you get some money buy a beater to just experiment with

Amen to that. My first car was a 73 Nova beater... Best leson in cars I ever had.

Thanx ppl, i am reading sum research and am learning

hey jon, i see you are britash and 14 as well! just the same as me. I'm welsh though. wet over here at the moment. what car d'you wanna drive when youre older? damn, im glad im not the only british teenager on this site now I think im gonna get an Escort LX and spend my money all under the bonnet. but... insurance again. at the moment im just reading a load of car magazines. nope, not max power proper mags, not rice ones.
also helping out at my dads garage a lot. couple more years and ill be a bit more knowledgable on cars. brum brum

Well i'd like 2 get sumthin like a focus and mod it up, but when i say mod it up i dont jus mean a bodykit and sum alloys, i'm gonna tune the engine up and make it look cool =)... if i know how by then lol, im sure i will

You guys are blessed with good Fords.

you guys are blessed with cheap insurance... escort for me i think. boy racer white, spend all of my £4000 a year on it, just as many 'bolt-ons' as i can find, then thrash all the local rice down at the currys car park. how much do you need on a car for it to be classified rice? would just a spoiler be ok?

There's no set classification of rice parts on a car. I'd say anything non functional and useless in design would be rice. And i'd consider someone rice if they thought their body kit and spoiler made their car perform better. But, if they don't think it doea, and just do it cause they like the way it looks then more power to them.

well, i youve got body kits and spoilers and all that stuff, it does work lowers air resistance and makes the car more aerodynamic. but i dont see the point on having it all on a little 0.9 litre shed which is never gonna even see 70 miles an hour and no matter how much stuff you put on it is always gonna have the aerodynamics of a brick. but if youve got a car which is actually fast, and worth driving about then i think its fine.

there is no way the bodykits designed today make aerodynamics better civics have smooth front ends those bodykits have so many scoops holes bumps and gods knows what else to be aerodynamic and 99% of wings sold are mostly flat and impede more than they enhance

I'm quite sure there are bodykits that aid in aerodynamics, you just see the guady ones... Like what was on my civ

Yours had a use! I bet here in colorado it'd have made one hell of a snow plow
