Really? I'd like to see that.

 

Jeez... I think I'm over 10K in mods. A big chunk of it came from mods I had to do. Brakes, Shocks and the transmission.

I had big plans for this car, it was going to be my summer only ride. But after doing some thinking, I realized it probably isn't worth it. I wanted to keep it NA, but even it I did the head, with a 1.6 SOHC, potential is really limited when it comes to power, and I think at most I can remove 200 pounds, but I would be left with a gutted interior and still at around 2300 pounds. If I want to go over a 50 shot of nitrous, I have to do everything! Pistons, rods and crankshaft.

For a summer car, what looks really attractive to me right now is a classic VTEC Mini. The Type R engine is 220 bhp and it's only pulling a little over 1600 lbs. interior still in tack! That's amazing! I heard people had to check they're pants after driving one.

So I might be parting everything out soon. I'll keep you guys posted if you need parts.

so far im doing good on mods

4000 miles put on by me thus far

$77.29 - K&N Typhoon - Shipped

 

you dont need an s hood to go turbo. Use a side or front mount intercooler.

 

I'm putting an MCS hood on the car cause I have (Dr. Obnxs') old M7 X-treme scoop sitting here and it wants to be attached to something to feel important. I will be going FMIC.

 

Hey Ranzo.....sell me your tranny and clutch setup.

 

Im jealous that you got the Sparco's so cheap.

 

Deals! My Jtrem brutha.

 

So far $0 since taking delivery.
I have the sound kit but that was rolled into my financing.

Only things I'm considering are:
Orciari Cowl Scoops $150 to feed my intake.
Konig Rewinds with 205/55/R15s ~$800 maybe 215/50/R15s/
along with different brake pads ~$160.
and would love to put on a JCW/JCM Head following Ords' lead. ~$2200.

 

Probably not worth it for you. That means we have to trade drivetrains so 2 labor costs + shipping + down time.
