I have a question for you guys, sorry if its in the wrong forum, im 26 turning 27 in a couple months, i have a 95 hatch. i have been having it for about 2yrs and i have been fixing it up little by little, but lately i have been thinking, should i not be in the import scene anymore? is this just for the younger crowd? i wonder how old the guys on HT are that fix up there rides? what do you guys think, is it time to let go?

No never too old. Whenever you feel ready to get out, but I know guys in their 30's still rocking the import scene. One dude in his 40's I believe posted his build, and I'm 25 and not planning on giving up my civic any time soon.

Since 1983

your never too old man, you love what you love, thats why you see 50-80yr old men go crazy over toy trains. BUILD IT!

Bleh you should be asking yourself that. I know of a couple 50 year olds that drive K series hatches . Never too old or too young really... But if you need something more presentable for work and what not that's a different story.

thx, thats good to know that im not too old. i love the import scene, been loving it since high school just lately been having that thought. dont want to let go, thats why i had to ask you guys

apm

just do what you love and enjoy it! age is just numbers.

I'm still breeding guppies since I was in elementary and now I graduated college 17yrs ago and I still do it.

llansy

what is this like some fear of not being excepted

fastrxu

you can also try going vip status newer lexus, infinity, acura, etc

that's what I plan to do when I'm a little bit older. It kinda suits your needs a little better I guess but you can still remain in the scene

lol...yeah i have a couple other cars but i love those hondas

Why would it matter?

The only concerns I could see is being older can bring on other responsibilities, so you don't need to have a car you're going to worry will be stolen during a quick run to pick up milk. That or if you drive it to work, you could be seen as less professional if you're showing up in a thirteen year old Honda that looks more like it should belong to your son than to you.

If you have those concerns, get a daily driver. Leave the modded car at home.

I'm 26 and I've never worried that I'm too old for the Honda scene.

Btw, I know an older guy who drives a lowered 4G hatchback everywhere. His kids are about my age. This guy owns a small company that makes suspension parts. I'm hoping to support his company by purchasing some of those bars soon.

Age literally means nothing in terms of a hobby. Building car is a hobby. The only reason I can think someone would ask a question like this because they are afraid of being criticized by a younger crowd who have the same hobby. And in my opinion you should be mature enough at an older age to brush what others say off your shoulder and do what you love.

Like NOFX said, if you're worried about not looking very professional, grab a nice 4 door daily, and rock the build at home.

My problem is now I bought a low key sedan and I'm already looking at things I want to do to it.

I've only had it going on three days now. lol

eglude

yeah, no one talks **** to me, it was just a thought. kind of like the old dude at the club chillin by himself. dont want to be that old dude...lol

steveo135

GK come set this whipper snapper straight

mortificationrock

Nah.....who cares. I feel like im old (24) and i play games like i was 10. I dont give a **** what anyone thinks. Same tought for cars. **** my dad is about 45 and has a Eg hatch that he wants me to help him fix it up. Just that he hasnt made up his mind cuz he's still *** hurt about his old celica( back in the days) that he fixed up a gang of times and would always get jacked. So he thinks about it. But atleast he still drives a EG hatch and hits MAd Vtek all the time....LoL

eglude

well from all the replies this is coo, no such thing as too old for the honda scene. at my age my **** should probably be bad *** though...right?...lol! im a slow worker...lol

never too old brother what you need to worry about is whats the next ove for your car

I'll be 30 this year too, and I still drive a swapped and dropped civic that I bought when I was 23. I guess I occasionally feel a little looked down on for it, but I don't care. It's not like I have to drive clients around in it. I only wish I could haul my band stuff in it, or drive on more than 3" of snow, but that's why I have a CRV.

Do what you want.

ifIexplode

Winner.

Couldnt have said it better myself.

I Got a laugh out of this thread. Hell I am 38 just got into the Honda scene a year ago when I bought a 97 hatch at an auction and found out all the stuff you could do to it. I started out with an auto trans d16 y7 now I 've got a supercharged GSR 5 speed and many many other mods. Its been a blast so far and I am thinking what to do next. I just went to the track yesterday and ran a 13.55 at 100.59 mph hell 38 years old and my first pass down the track ! So hell 27 is definately not to old and I can tell ya I am not going to stop modding my car anytime soon !
