of course you've all seen the show "pimp my ride" on mtv.....well....i just bought an 88 chevy nova not too long ago (i'm only 15, and it was 100 buck....for something that ran, twas a good deal).....i was wondering what you might suggest to "pimp" it up....nothing expensive, just some ideas to make it a bit more ridable in....thanks!

 

[jwramp]

anyone?....also, the fabric on the ceiling came off, so i'm looking for some alternatives.

pictures say a thousand words, and you're only at like 50 words...

You live in alaska?

Why not get a bunch of wolves and a sled?

 

[sleepkyng]

you're from sitka?

i know a dame from there

Spray paint it flourescent orange.

 

[jwramp]

which dame? (there aren't that many).....and yeah, i'll have to go move my car out of my igloo garage to take a picture

.....here's some pics (if head-fi lets me attach them) dang....25k limit...let's see if i can manage that

 

[jwramp]

some of my friends and i were actually thinking it'd be kinda funny to paint it fluorescent green w/ some white racing stripes....mabe paint the rims (like 12 or 14 inchers, oh yeah!) to match....haha

I hate people who add looks before performance. Sorry, no offense intended

But seriously; wouldn't you have more fun by adding some fairly cheap things like a cold (or rather, hot, since most people have it still in the engine bay) air intake, or for handling, better shocks? They aren't that much...

EDIT: Saw the second picture. My bad; you DO need something in the way of looks. Start with some floormats. Then try to cover up that stereo that's sticking out like a sore thumb. And never forget a thorough cleaning... does wonders.

[jwramp]

yeah...it's pretty clean already, contrary to what the pics look like (damn it was nasty when i got it).....and i just got new rear shocks....they needed some work....also got all new exhaust system (not to make it sound funny, just cause the old one leaked)....and no, i'm not one of those people that would put all the neon on the bottom and get huge rims that spun, etc.....just looking for some stuff to make it a little bit more rideable.....for the radio: i normally just use my creative labs zen in the car, and sometimes a cd player, so i just use a radio transmitter at the moment....any recommendations for a low-priced cd player that has an aux input?.....and the speakers are crappy, so i'm not looking for hi-fi in the car (that's for home

)
thanks!

 

[Stephonovich]

I was about to suggest a nice Kenwood one, but then I saw the 'not hi-fi...' bit. Basically, anything. Go to your local electronics store, and start looking. Cheaper the better.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to be offering any helpful hints here but I do have a question... are my eyes decieving me or is that a Nissan Sunny in disguise?

 

[bhd812]

save your money to buy a better car, or atleast some more headphone gear.




nice first car btw


never ever put money into a car, unless its a radar detector and you like to speed.
