1-Read the stickies at the top of the forum (especially the UCF2x FAQ and the wheel threads).
2-Research a LOT (ie-going through old threads).
3-Have money. A substantial amount.
4-Reasonable punctuation and grammar make people more likely to read your posts and thus more likely to help.

Look threw the picture threads. Figure out what YOU like and then search on those things that you like. It sounds like you have a lot to learn. Search around and do lots of reading.

Three things you would need;
1) Money
2) MORE money
3) MORE MONEY

Actually what you should do is take your time, save some money, (if you can) and research the forum as much as possible. The search function is your friend and it's very useful. You have a nice car to start with. Being "new to the car game" you should start small and work your way up. You will soon realize how expensive it can get and it wont happen over night. Good luck on making the car "yours."

i think you have a defective shift key .

as puredrifter mentioned, read the stickies at the top of the subforum for basic all around info. i always recommend taking care of the maintenance aspect of any car before modding it. what's a nice looking car if it's broken down on the side of the road or running poorly?

No girlfriend, they tend to channel $'s away from car mods.
Live at home eating up mom-dad's food.
Don't participate in illegal money making schemes or other similar activities. Being in a confined "room" does not allow one to do car mods.
Go to school and get a good paying career.

After all this, you'll wonder why you spent $15K+ when it could have gone towards a down payment on a house.

If you are already rolling in $, disregard. Buy a Porsche.

I wanted to say something about the grammar or broken key board. I had a hard time reading that. lol.

But seriously, you will need money and lots of research.
