you can compete in SCCA autox events, if that all you want... just slap on some r compounds on some stock wheels and go to town lancer does pretty well in stock class with real race tires on it (at least around here)

. i'm not going to say anything about your age cause i'm 17 as well and i have RIPP sds kit in my lancer. but save your money and buy something stronger later on.. its all worth the waait

I think you should make your own money, and then you can spend it as you please..

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I have decided not to buy the turbo and to wait until I buy a car after college that comes with a lot of horsepower. I'll probably just buy a few other, less expensive, upgrades and maybe a body kit. Thanks again.
