    R.I.P. GT

    If you are seriously looking for a Terminator, my buddy has had his for sale for a while now. Let me know if you are interested. He went 11.7 at 116, if youre looking for a modded one.

    part of my new ricer status has me finding some amazing videos!

    Yep, getting into imports will open up a whole new world of entertainment. Its a completely different kind of excitement that the V8s offer up.

    Well I have moved to the dark side..!

    I was sad to see Mitsu dismiss the 4G63 when they built the X. I feel no guilt bouncing that thing off the rev limit when screwin around in the snow and whatnot. AWD is a blast in the snow. Welcome to the turbo 4 world.

    Fall and Winter projects who's doing what?

    My project for the next... few years will consist of building my latest purchase into something respectable. Shootin for 11s, no harassment by law enforcement, and still get 22+mpg :D Anyone know what this car is? Its even on a proven platform.

    New best at pir on 8/9

    Right now its holding about 16-17lbs of boost, then tapers down as it nears redline. When it gets tuned, I want it to hold 19lbs, then taper down near redline. These turbos are small and arent efficient much further past 19lbs, especially in higher RPMs. The FMIC map is supposed to hold...

    Ah, good job on the 12.45. Were those drag radials on the rear? How do you like the Jetta? Are you still working at Cricket? The Mazdaspeed3 is a 6 speed manual. Front mount has been ordered. Once I go in for a dyno tune, Im hoping for 300whp/330ftlbs and 12 seconds in the 1/4 on street...

    Intake, bypass valve, downpipe, race pipe, programmer (which has yet to prove its worth... long story), motor mount inserts (ordering stiffer motor mount soon), double adjust short shifter, shifter bushings, WOT shift box/2 step, and I think thats it. I will be ordering a front mount intercooler...

    They may not be the quickest car in a straight line, but they leave a lot in the dust when a corner comes up, and stops extremely quick for a $23k car. The times werent too good, but the 106mph trap isnt bad for a wagon. FWD sucks. My best with the Speed3 was 13.4 at 104. I couldnt get...

    AFP....worth the drive?

    :D As I was typing that, I was even thinking, "I hope they dont think Im saying the high end centrifugal systems are cake." It was mostly in regards to roots blowers. I dont have any experience with the centrifugal systems, but I do know they get a little more tricky than the roots blowers...

    AFP....worth the drive?

    Turbos sure can be a pain in the butt. My car spikes at 20psi, holds 17, and then drops as redline nears. Superchargers are so simple, no spikes, no fuel cuts because of over boost or boost spikes, no boost creep, etc. They just do what you tell tem to. Turbo systems seem to have amind of...

    What should be my first mod?

    Swaybars! Not sure if you live off a curvy road and how much body roll Civics have, but so far, with my car (04 Forester XT, before any ones makes a stab at me, educate yourself first, then you can still stab, but at least you know a little more about a quick little tree huggin lesbian SUV)...
