I'm 24 and I was wondering if I'm too old to get into imports(building a motor)?
 

I have a 93 honda civic that needs a motor but not my everyday car

your never to old,i am 40 years old have a 96 eclipse with header cold air intake with nitrous I'm going to put a turbo on it a little later so my answer is your never to old to start

You will never be too old. However I've found that life priorities tend to change how much time and energy you can spend on your hobbies.































In my teens, I was poor and had no money, so I drove whatever car my parents had. But I talked excessively about cars.































In my early 20's I worked and studied; even more poor then when I lived at home. Public transit all the way.































In my mid to late 20's I invested a lot in my driving (race cars & auto cross). In that time I attended a number of racing driving schools and put a race car (RX7) on the track. I also had a fairly stock Integra as a daily driver. I also got married and my wife was very understanding.































In my 30's I spent most of my time on building a career and moving up the corporate ladder. Also in my 30's I focused on starting a family and building a good home. So I didn't spend much on cars. My RX7 sat in a barn for a good 8 years. My wife made me swear that I will not race again once we had kids. I agreed.































In my late 30's I got into a fairly fast Integra setup and started autocrossing & track days again, just for fun. My race car is parked in a barn.































Now in my early 40's - with 2 kids always on the move (from baby sitters, to school, to sports); I'm building a 4dr sleeper Integra with a k20/k24 swap. This will be my daily driver and an infrequent track day fun seeker. My old RX7 ... I parted it out.































Remember the old saying:















Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
