Dude, don’t feel bad for promoting your shit. You guys give out great advice basically for free Keep up to good work man.

Building on a budget sucks. You want everything and can't afford anything, very slow process but once you do something it's very satisfying

why am I watching this? I don't even have a car lmao

He forget to mention, but ALWAYS add red brake calipers and racing stickers for extra HP

Biggest budget saver=learn how to do all/most of the work yourself or with some buddies. Labor costs a ton😉🍻

I'm going to send this to my son and his friends.

It's not hard to build on a budget as long as you do the homework. Research, research and research before making a game plan. Think twice, buy once. Prioritize. If you really want that wide body, don't blow your wad on something else. Research, prioritize, plan, execute.

I'd just like to add a few things. 1. Stay single. And if you must have a partner, make sure they're not high maintenance and can make their own money. It might come in handy later on for Christmas or birthdays also lol 2. Related to #1. Don't be silly, wrap your willy. A $16 box of rubbers is a lot cheaper than boxes of diapers and baby formula. Have a good day 😎👍

Building on a budget is the best way if done right. It makes you appreciate the car and the parts SO much more. Because you worked so hard to buy those wheels, or that $1000 exhaust. Rather than the KZfaqrs who get a build done over night and you just think "Yeah, that's a really clean build." You can look at your own and think back to how many hours of labor you put in to get each individual part.

reminder for mazdaspeed3 owners: first mods has to be hpfp internals and accessport unless you want ur zoom zoom to go boom boom

* buys $300 car * * immediately puts $1000 riced af wheels * k.

I think unless you've won the lottery, everyone in the car community is on a budget. it's all about planning, and patience, for my car, since everything is a bit pricier I have to just plan on what I want first, and plan it all out.

Simple an cheap car mod 1. Iridium spark plug 2. Better air filter 3. Good suspension/coilovers 4. Aftermarket headlights/tailight 5. Change disk rotor 6. Paint/buy new brake caliper 7. Better tyre 8. Better looking wheels 9. Led spoiler 10. Leather seat(if using fabric) 11. Add diffuser 12. New body kit That what i will do to my car

Not like a car in that thumbnail you can't lmao

Lmao, first thing you want to avoid is Autozone, Oreily’s, and Advance. This should be said as a morning and evening 🙏🏿.

Great advice. Best budget build is buying used parts off of a trusted forum is good too. B.C. Racing coilivers for $430? Yes..yes please

Whats wrong with aisle 7? At my O'reillys thats where the caliper paint is.

2015 civic si. $18,000 with 32,000 miles. Purchased 2 years ago. Ksport coilovers second hand- $500 Voodoo camber arms- $100 Used Invidia N1 exhaust- $200 Sound system- $800 Random cosmetics- $400. Simple, to the point. Personalized with some stickers. And a massive Squidward dabbing on my rear window. Honk if you see me in Phoenix, AZ

It does take time to build on a budget, but it's worth it as long as your do your research on the parts before you buy.

Ive never really been into cars or money for that matter. I kind of just saved what i needed too so i didnt have to work for months at a time lol. But ever since i discovered the 350z its been a car i actually want and would put time into. Ive always drove beaters by choice but now at this point in my life im making changes. Being 24 i feel like its time to go get it, thanks for the tips. Really appreciate videos like this

Heres my gripe about budget building. There's not enough reviews of the lesser known products that could save you $. KZfaq car builds are always the top brands & if u happen to go on forums and dare mention a so called cheaper product they cursify that person like their JESUS. Then you see them bash the top brands that they installed later on?

Maintenance and keeping it classy & clean go soooooooooo far. I spent so long fixing rock paint chips and fixing previous owner's curb rash on every single wheel (thanks bro). I would also say some of the smaller things are underrated. I noticed a huge increase of people coming up to me about the car when I redid all the lighting. Swapping headlights/tails/side markers/turn signals/fogs and making them all the exact same color temperature did so much for the car. Just have a vision for what it's going to be like when done and put real effort into the actual car. I also save sooooooooooooooooo much money doing my own maintenance, which can be dumped back into parts. If you research research research it can be done cheaply and easily. Hell, I didn't even take shop in school. I didn't figure out I wanted to be a car guy until about three years ago.

I'm glad you actually mentioned brand names in the video. I've seen a few of these kinds of videos and all they they talk about is not cheaping out and instead invest in good products without giving examples.

100% agree make the car mechanically sound before visual mods. Exactly what I'm focusing on right now

Great video, great production But a "build" isn't just cosmetics. My advice to most people is invest in brakes and suspension first.

Your 1st car at 16 should be anything but a build worthy car. It should get you from point A to point B safely. It should teach you how to do general upkeep as well as respecting road laws and understanding if you don't learn these things first- your car and license may not be yours for long. If you're 16, you're a kid- and should be learning those things before these things.

I definitely agree that it takes a long time to build on a budget, as a highschool student, school is my number one priority, and I make enough to pay for car insurance, and any time I have extra money, that's to get the oil changed or stuff like that, you wouldn't belive how long it took me to tint the windows and tail lights

I've built on a budget on my car. Hardest part is finding stuff for my car as they dont make anything for it (Suzuki Forenza/Optra/Lacetti) So more custom work was done on it to make things work and stand out. Although, in the end I appreciate the work done afterwards because the car looks more unique In a car that was suppose to look stock in a sense. I always waited on discount or sales to pickup parts cheaper(Ex: picked up KYB struts for $186 for all 4 brand new and Apex springs at $100 less or visiting junkyards) I was always being patient in building the car and it was worth it every step of the way.

Having a first car is a great way to learn and meet new people in the car community. To learn how to do diy maintenance and mods. Gotta lose money to gain money. Cheers!

Ik im late ....but as a high school senior transitioning to college,this is really helpfull- thanks👌

I’m starting off myself and im starting up my own youtube channel. Getting myself in the mindset of investing in the car and researching for possible sponsorships and just social networking & making friends and just learning. Thats all its really about. Takes time but I definitely can build on a budget and trust me like he said less is more. Sit back observe the car and see what things can make the car unique in its own way without over doing it

As someone who is essentially building my car on a budget this really helps. So far I’ve done only little mods along with a few major mods but still it helps to have a guide of tips. I own a mk4 Jetta that I’ve swap head lights and tails along with placing leds in the car, it’s on race land coilovers with avid1 av60 wheels and milestar ms932 tires

Fitment industries is best industry

It's not too hard, it just takes time. I'm 17 and I bought myself a scion frs and I'm slowly doing my work to it, working hard and alot to get the parts I want

I have a Scion tC 2009 manual. Not the quickest car but is fun, practical and easy/cheap to insurance. Is a nice starter car. Now I'm saving so I can buy and a 240sx with an SR20DET model S13 because... Popups headlights!! I love that car. Is like the bigger brother of the miata.

Great video. A lot of great advice in the video. It can be done just has to be done right the first time.

2:12 car guys, fix one thing and more breaks.

I'm just to broke for everything lmfao.

Just subscribed to Fitment Wheels, Facebooking and buying from you guys!! You seem really awesome and learning a lot from you all. I’ll be purchasing for three or four different vehicles when the time comes!!

Liked and saved whenever I get my beautiful Honda Accord 2014 🤩

I got a mirage hatch for $1600 NZD and dropped a 4g63t straight in. Motor and box cost me about 4k NZD. Now I literally have an Evo hatch. If I wanted to I could go chuck an Evo IV bumper on it and make it look sick af boi. Oh and for wheels I just got 6 second hand 90s enkeis on 03g's for $600

3:33 you pulled the fenders and did not fill them in. Why???

Its really easy to do simple and effective modifications on a budget. First thing anyone should do if you bought an old beater is tidy up the bodywork. Smooth out the dents, patch the rust, redo the clearcoat (or just get it resprayed). Most cars looked really good off the showroom floor, so if you do nothing else, restoring say a 20 year old Civic or Corolla to showroom state will be half the battle. It's easy to do simple things like tasteful car seat covers if the seats are a bit worn or faded and replacing the stock wheels with something that suits the car. Making it look new and like the owner (you) takes pride in it, will give you so much satisfaction to drive. You'll think, "yeah, that's my baby! She may be a bit older and not as quick as she was in her youth, but she scrubs up real nice, and she's trustworthy and reliable". I know Fitment are a wheel & suspension company, but you cannot understimate the power of a fresh coat of paint and smooth body panels. If nothing else, Restoration should be step 1, then you feel like you have accomplished something.... you can fiddle with suspension, getting stylish wheels, bodykits/skirts etc getting the base looking good is paramount!

I'm semi-retired and spend the days either working on someone's paint or restoring vintage machinery. Use tools every day. Came across a video a few days ago showing best tools for DIY. Well, most of the tools shown are rarely used by yours truly. The host failed to ask the crucial question - what are you trying to DIY? Same goes for modding your car. Ask yourself what you're trying to achieve. Do you want a show car where the cosmetic aspect is paramount, or are you building a machine that's quick point-A to point-B? Maybe you'd prefer to have a more fun daily driver. All this will guide your mod path and ultimately save you a bunch of cash.

Any XXR wheels are a great value. Good looking, safe, and not going to break the bank.

doing stuff yourself can save alot of money too. people don't realise that it's not as hard as others make it out to be

Really really enjoyed this one. lol Very sound advise imo. You broke down the key points really well. I think Fitment Industries web sight could help a great deal as well. Tons of rides to look at and info on mods done too. Priceless!! Putting in the time to do the research is hug. Seeing what others have done will give you the insight needed to know what might work best for your ride. It's all about the image you want to convey about who you are and your taste in a ride. Thanks for taking time to get back to the basics. You hurt a couple of feelings too lol. The truth hurts. I wish I had a vid like this when I was starting out on my first ride. Easy thumbs up for me. Cheers

Can't wait to start slowly building. Thank you very much for the advice.

16 year olds are only worried about wheels and cutting their springs. You failed to mention, the best way to make your car look actually clean is paint correction, claybar'ing your vehicle to remove stuck on contaminates, and then buffing and polishing your paint to showroom shine. That instantly will make your car look 10x better, and especially if your car is 10+ years old, it will stand out way more because it looks like brand new paint if you actually take your time with the buff and polish. It's hilarious how many dudes that want to "build" their cars don't even wax or use protectants on their paint... they just go get a 500 dollar crappy maaco paint job every other year instead lmao.

Very important to know your limits and where you want to take your car because I have a $4000 85 GMC that turned into a $40000 money tap. The most important thing is do it out love. And do not abandon your project if you have to let it sit for a couple months without working on it because money is a little tight that's fine you're gonna regret selling it you do.

That’s actually pretty cool that you include mount and balance along with the packages. 👌🏽

I think it comes down to saving and when your in a car group or scene where your from you can always get hook ups. I build on a super budget and a lot of things can be done DIY. So that helps

I'm 16. I've been doing my research for 6+ years lol. 1992 Volkswagen Jetta. Going to put most of my money into Bilstein PSS9 Coilovers. BBS RA wheels for now, then when I convert to Audi TT brakes I'll find some nice 5x100 wheels. Maybe some RE71Rs or RT615K+s. GTX/GLI spoiler. Of course, an engine swap. AAZ. 1.9l turbo diesel from an early MK3 Golf/Jetta. Can easily make 200 hp. And yes, cleanliness and general maintenance come first. I plan to tear everything apart and paint it all. I'm excited.

Part - outs are really good, I got an intake, headers and downpipe for my veloster used for $200. The intake alone was $260 brand new, and the headers + downpipe were $430. I changed out my stock muffler for a smaller one from another car for $40 at a muffler shop. Not sure what I'm going to do next but it's totally possible to get some nice aftermarket parts if you keep your eye out on forums, fb groups, and Craigslist

This channel is awesome ! The great tip and advice actually helped me in keeping patience and doing my research and I actually found some JNC wheels for my rsx type s on offer and the guy wanted a trade of rsx type s wheels with cash on top. The deals for building a car on a budget are out there just be patience and just save little by little

Lots of good advice here! If you look and shop around you can build on a budget! Also I love jaspers e36! 😁

Banger video.

This video is important

You're preaching...the world of tuning.

You guys are solving so many problems for me...awesome 😄🙏

I’d rather build a sleeper lmao

bolt on flares, wide low offset oe wheels from craigslist, $500 coilovers... done

I live in hungary and here its pretty hard to build when you are younger. My cousin got his license last year, and he also saved up some money. Our grandpa gave him his Lada, (its a VAZ2105) and he bought niva springs for it, cut them, refilled the shocks to make them harder, and got the suspension dialed in. Its on wide steelies, and the whole car is welded out, and painted. It costed less than 1500 dollars, and its looks awsome.

With this music, and professionally made video.. with all these shots and amazing cars i get so hyped to throw all my money at a car damn

To be honest... it really all depends on what cars you drive. If you buy a cheap car then yes it easy to make the car look good on budget but if you drive a luxury, high-end performance cars, or brand new expensive cars then it not going to look good on budget build. You need think about that as well because most parts aren't available for cheap.

Modding your car as a Canadian isn't cheap in any way as for every $1000USD we spend buying stuff from the US it will equate to $1500CAD after shipping, duty, currency exchange and tax fees. I spent over $12,000CAD+ which was probably $8000USD. a decent tire is approx. $1600CAD for Michelin Pilot A/S 3's and add the rims you're in for another $1600-$2000CAD, the price get's higher and higher when you start adding more parts...

As long as reliability isn't an issue you can definitely build on a budget, I got a 08 535xi and about to get a jb4 and some wheels and it'll be a fun Lil land yacht for under 8500

I’m saving my money rn and as soon as I can afford it I’m hopping on your website

I'm an artist and my car isn't going to look like a butterfly on steroids

Do a history of Diamond Racing

I feel that going into any car project you must be innovative, smart with your money, have a great understanding of how things are made and what sets them apart from one another, and finally be willing at times to get something used and rebuild it yourself, not everything has to be NEW and fresh out of the box.

i bookmarked yall's website and subscribed to the channel. I Def recommend coming here for knowledge and help on cars!

thanks for the tips btw i like neon lighting under the car

Not free shipping for Hawaii 😭

didn’t even watch this and ended up going with Niche for my first wheels. I get compliments on them at every meet!

Just picked up a 2002 Trans Am sleek beak. First I’m doing a Ram Air conversion, then I’m doing suspension stuff. Bigger sway bars, strut brace, adjustable Panhard bar and lowering springs with new shocks/struts. Also doing exhaust. Once all that is done, then I’ll look at wheels.

SQUARE wheels from enjuku :D

Hey what do you guys think about varrstoen wheels? I looked at their website and they have some nice stuff

im so glad i found your channel

I got my 240 at 16 when I had a permit and I still managed to fix up everything and eventually learn bodywork then I did the paint and put the bodykit on. I’m now 1 month into being 17. And it’s swapped with a 1UZ.

I'll just stick with the 33$ rims at Kmart.

I want to know more about velgen wheels

as many others have stated, it is a very long process, but you can save a lot of money. ive seen 3 piece wheels that cost 3500 brand new, sell for 1500 used in very good condition, and in rare cases even less.

One piece at a time save for a bit. Buy it, save it and put it on when you have all the components to put them on and Make it look good. Patience is key. Buy big things when you can. Just keep your goal in mind and like they said keep your car in top shape! No use having a sick car if it don’t run well!

Broke and Boosted look it up :)

All I want to have is a crown vic

As a worker at Advance Auto Parts, I agree with your statement. Dont come to us for anything except water pumps, gaskets, etc.

Building on a budget takes 2 things: Knowing where to compromise, and patience. Also, the used market helps a lot. I bought a set of used wheels off a Mini Cooper for my Honda, and they were only $125. All I needed was a set of $20 lug nuts and a set of new tires. Yes, they're stock Mini wheels, but they look sharp on my Fit. The rest of my parts I bought I researched brands that I could afford, and found the ones that were good quality (HPS intake, Megan exhaust, Progress rear sway bar, and EBC rotors and pads). All the little cosmetic pieces were cheap enough that I could just buy them on a payday and wait for them to show up. That being said, this is a car 7 years in progress because I have so many other things to worry about financially. I've only spent maybe 2-3k on my car in that time (had a set of speakers installed professionally because I have no idea what I'm doing).

Lol I'm just taking the body off my Toyota Corolla and I am building a custom supercar body for it

😋 Sss-ssoul pa-pa-patch 9:51 😜 I’m Ronin

So glad I found your channel! I really learn a lot about things that I am not knowledgeable about. Do you guys ship internationally? I just bought a 2002 Civic SIR Ep3 and I was looking to do my first mods and suspension was one of the big ones..... Mainly cuz it needs new suspension. Next I was going to get the body in better shape...the only rust is a little bit on the hood. Should I buy a new hood or get a body shop to sand it down because I was going to wrap the car anyway?

luv all your vids. will definitely use you guys when im ready to pull the trigger. can you pls do a vid on options on how to change the color(paint, powder coat, anodize, etc.) of your wheels?

😂😂😂

rims tires put them together put them on your car buy coilovers install them ... step by step

You can also go with used good quality stuff - I recently found a 500km ran set of lowering springs by KW for an E30 and payed like 50€ (55USD). That is a really great deal for lowering an E30 60mm. In all I very much agree with all the thoughts from the video tho.

Just takes time we’re all on a budget . I’m 18 got a 2003 Eclipse , 2012 370Z and a 2016 Accord on the eclipse I bought at 16 got Megan racing headers , 3” AEM intake , Greddy RS catback , side skirts , front lip , tinted windows , painted the headlight housing black , hids , XXR 527s , Federal RRs , short shifter , heavy weighted shift knob , D2 coilovers , drilled rotors , performance brake pads Im sure there’s little things here and their Im missing . The accord i got at 17 as a daily so all it’s got done is chrome delete on the exterior trim , tinted windows , h&r springs and that’s bout it , the 370 I got at 18 (like last month) so far have Cb side blades , CC N-1 Full carbon fiber wing . M-Spec shift knob , short shifter , Stage 3 clutch and flywheel , carbon fiber mirror covers and that’s about it right now (I WANT TO ORDER SOME ESR SR08S AND SOME FEDERALS FOR IT BUT FITMENT INDUSTRIES KEEP PLAYING WITH ME RIGHT NOWLOL) (oh and I got a knockoff exhaust based on the HKS hi flow except this one is quiet below 3k once you hit 4K it screams solid sound but upgrading to Motordyne E370 and Art pipes by January hopefully

I’m 16 and own a clean mk3 Supra

If you 16 and on a budget. Buy second hand rep wheels and cut the springs

A tip. Look at ocean wheels they are good and cool and home in sweden almost every "styled" has ocean mk18 rims

This is a great video. I was going to spend a thousand i saved up on some wheels but now I’m buying some coil overs and getting The ride height dialed in
