    Ya, I hear the turbos are pretty bad A. I need to ride in one. I read about one in a mag that was putting down 400rwhp. Holy crap!

    I played with a Lexus IS300 last night coming home from my girl's. He kicked my ass, I didn't have a chance. :( I cannot *wait* to get turbo'd. I did fishtail out of the parking lot earlier, though, and it wasn't even snowy out. :D

    BTW, YellowLightning - your sig says you drive a MustanD. Might wanna change that. ;)

    hey my stock N/A 91 2.3 beat an 86 Prelude SR automatic a while ago. I was pretty proud of her, but we only won by a hair. Other than that, i haven't found too many cars I can beat. I'd go ahead and get a V8 if i could find one in good a condition as my own-everything I find for less than 3000 has a beat up body or the engine's been ragged out. I put a dynomax muffler on mine and i think it may of given me a couple of horses but I'm thinking about finding a turbo- if anyone knows where you can buy a good aftermarket turbo/intercooler for a '91 2.3 let me know.

    lol me and my cousin were bored one night.
    so he jumped in the kia sportage, with the turbo button on!
    and we took em for a spin
    i launched at 3000, he was at 2500 and were off.
    my clutch is slipping at that time so, i took off really crappy
    but he was skreetchin them for about 2 seconds then caught.
    long story short at secound gear i was about a car and half away.
    it was fun though ;)
