Default Opinions on daughters first car.....
Well, it was birthday time and we couldn't hold out any longer, she had to have a car and the time was now. It's not exactly what I would be seen driving around in, but she seems to like it, even though she can't quite reach the go pedal yet.

I was thinking more of dropping a XR6T engine in - surely there's enough clearance under the shaker...

Just needs to be lowered a couple of inches with some nice rims to really set it off.

Make sure it has an airbag, you want your daughter to be safe in her first car

Yeah guys, she is a mean machine. Lowering is a must, and then maybe keep it simple, just a G&D airbox, BMC filter and maybe a nice catback system. I'll have to check with Toys R Us to see what's available. Probably get the Edit too I suppose, see what Chris at Bluepower reckons.....
