How many cars have you modified like this?
And I would be careful of trying to get one by on the insurance company. If something happens... and then try to get insurance somewhere else.

That is of course, if you're a teenager. Teens have no self control, by in large. Adding a turbo will just cause you trouble but hey... if your folks are buyin the car whatever. I have to work for it.

One thing I did find pretty inspirational with regard to the way "teenagers" are... is the safety advice at the top of this web page:-

Yes i am a teen currently 15........... 16 in may when the car comes out and 17 when i buy it. Am i immature? (YES!) at least when i come to my pride. And i probally will end up racing the RENESIS, but i not going to do in someplace unsafe. Saying that ill get into an accident is a lil harsh, im not stupid, i no my limits. But im not going to get into an age war with all u experience drivers. So on a different note:
Anyone realize that with 335hp this thing will probally beat out the 2002 supras in japan (on the track of course). GO ROTARY!

Believe me I said the same thing you said and I still got into an accident.
It will LIKELY happen (though hope it doesn't), but the only thing you can do is to know your limits and try not to show off for your friends as I have done in the past and had some close calls

Also, for most people in here... a $30,000 car is a big investment,... and they don't really understand how you can afford it at 17... it's nothing personal.

Ahh knowing your limits is always a good thing... but theres that rush of pushing the car to higher speeds so technicaly you can not stay within your limits when you are young. Hehe I know I pushed thelimits of my 89 honda. 100 mph but I'm 19 now i've had my license for many years. And it is true first time drivers are statisticaly higher prone to accidents. MY friends lil bro just became a statistic when he rear ended someone. As long as you got good instincts you should be ok . lots of things happen when you are unsupervised and driving alone or with friends. All regards I admit when i first started driving i had some close calls. because I was young. and thrilled to be driving. Just stay cool for a few years and get use to driving around then race if you feel like it. control is key.

wow u people really care..., thats very nice of all of u considering this is an internet forum.. and just a little carification in not some lil rich bit*ch i've had a good paying (by my a 15year olds standards) job since i was 14. So over 3 years (when i buy the car 3 years that is) i've made nearly enough to pay for the rx-8, about 5000 short but hopefully mommy (hehe) will cover that. I hope im not paying 5k for insurance a year though.

Forget the RX-8 you'll pay more for the insurance than you will for the car.
I live in NJ too and I'm 21 now.. the insurance will run me PROBABALY around 250 a month. For you its at least 400+
