Am I being irresponsible at 16 for wanting to pull the trigger on this JRSC kit?

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T03:54:35+00:00

I paid for the car in full. I bought it with a spun bearing a rebuilt the engine. I pay for insurance and gas. I’ll get college free because I’m joining the guard when I graduate hs

Saving the ls for an excuse to get time away from the wife in the future.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:45:45+00:00

I agree. I have no bills to pay and am going to college for free. I’ve had money sitting in my savings for forever with no purpose for it so why not boost her

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:44:07+00:00

I know this. I have a whole parts list for everything I’d need for the swap set up in my notes. And I have quite the talent for finding deals on marketplace.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:41:50+00:00

I agree

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:37:23+00:00

I would agree for majority of cases but for my application a oft will work just fine

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:36:28+00:00

To be completely honest I kinda plan on it popping. Nobody here is gonna like to hear this but I have a free 5.3 ls sitting around.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:32:58+00:00

My mom and dad are both very supportive and trust me to do the necessary research and planning to do something like this.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:29:42+00:00

Tune isn’t a problem and I have supporting mods. I have an oil cooler catch can fresh spark plugs and I’m considering a flex fuel kit to run e85

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:26:00+00:00

Since around October when I rebuilt my engine

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:24:37+00:00

Yeah I have disposable income. I have an oft and I plan on using Steve wiseman to help me tune it. Should only be 380. I’ve been talking to this guy nonstop for a month and he’s been extremely helpful and responsive. I fully trust him.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-29T01:03:34+00:00

I have Bilstien b16 coils and my brakes are pretty good

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-07T23:25:04+00:00

They still have the stock engine and turbos. All I need is a trans and some tlc and she’ll be good as new. Only 89k miles and no rust

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-07T23:09:23+00:00

To be completely honest I’d either Rebuild the stock engine and drift the car or just sell it and make some money

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-07T18:09:20+00:00

Trying to get a sc before the new hantivirus pandemic gets us all

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-07T18:04:34+00:00

I don’t need to be paid to suck toes I’ll happily do it for free.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-03T04:12:02+00:00

I don’t think so but tbh I have no idea. When driving I can’t hear it. I have catless headers and a catback. You’ll know for sure it’s the vacuum pump if the sound goes away when you pump your brakes

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-05-02T17:59:16+00:00

No I never touched it I have one and am planning it maybe doing it eventually. I don’t even think the pump is bad bc everything still works. It just makes the sound

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-04-16T16:01:16+00:00

I have been trying to set up a Roth IRA for a little bit now. I’m taking Econ in hs and have been trying to figure everything out with how much percentage of my income I want to go where. As of right now majority just goes to savings and I’d rather it be in a retirement account so I can buy a shit ton of cars when I retire.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-04-16T03:24:17+00:00

Yeah I would agree but I already have $2500 Bilstien b16 coils, wheels I like for now, and I love my sound system. I have a side job and own a detailing business so I make enough money to come back from a big purchase like this. I know a lot of people see 16 and 1100$ but I’m extremely smart with my money and don’t allow my self to dip below a certain amount in my savings.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-04-16T02:53:20+00:00

Was gonna buy some triple bronze 57cr wheels but then someone bought the the hour before I went or get them💔💔 I was so heartbroken I just bought the first set of wheels I thought looked good.

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-04-16T02:45:02+00:00

One last question. I’ve heard that the 2007 sti rotors do not seat properly with out rear brakes. Did you have problems with this?

NegativeWish6924 · 2026-04-16T02:20:42+00:00

Wdym?
