Congratulations on your graduation buddy
Thanks bro! I'm sick of my highschool! Lol. But I am a serious beginner when It comes to cars. I have done alot of serious reading on cars and how they work and alot of different performance and suspension mods that you can do to a car but reading isn't gonna get me under the car. Do you get what I'm saying? Haha I can read about this stuff but I haven't had the ability to get hands on. I am taking an automotive course though but it's the introductory class. Meaning oil changes and basic service is all that will be taught. But when I say hands on, meaning work on a car. My Pontiac g5 doesn't need working on. I do oil changes with my dad but that's it. The one problem that is has is the timing chain. It's loose and idk if its the actual chain that's come loose somehow or the tensioner needs replacing but I don't have the tools or the experience to take off everything that is needed and then take off the head to get to it.
One of my friends at my school drives a 1999 Honda civic SI. He had to do a motor swap cuz the first one in it blew up. He's known how to do that cuz I guess he thought "either I swap it or i don't drive." What I'm getting at is the kids that know the ends and outs of a car have learned themselves because the needed to.
That being said, I don't consider myself one of those kids just because I don't have a car that really needs work done every day.
This was literally an entire essay on my predicament but id love an 05/-06 Acura rsx type s because those Honda motors, the k20z1, a3 and a2 are open to many aspects of tune ability that the little ecotech motor in my economy family car can't . Hell, my g5 would barely be able to withstand a turbo. Anything over 250hp and I would start having to replace internals and I wouldn't want to do that when the Acura Rsx's engines are more durable and more tuner friendly in my opinion.
Thanks for reading this entire essay man! I went on a rant!
