This obviously isnt mine, but it is the same body style and color. So mine will eventually be like this with some good shit under the hood.

They have quite a bit of potential, not quite as good as DSM's b/c of the throttle body injection, so I only have 2 fuel injectors, and since it has such a long stroke, it doesnt rev very well.

But this car has hard pipes, super 16g, bov (which prob slows it down), heavy duty clutch, full turbo back exhaust, and k&n filter, and maybe like 2 other things and consistantly runs in the mid 13 sec range in the 1/4 mile, so that makes me happy.

Happy with mid 13's? I will not be happy till I hit 11's. I will still probly keep going though.

yeah, 11's would be sweet, but that would probably require going to Multi Point Fuel Injection, which requires an assload of parts (Intake manifold, injectors etc.) and a good Standalone fuel computer, not to mention re-plumbing intercooler piping and other various things..

It would cost like $1500 to go from 15's to 13's, and to get to 12's would be like $6000 for the multi point injection and all that, and then 11's would need a bigger turbo, more boost, internals, cam, headwork, and all of that more "hardcore" stuff.

I wish I could spend $10k on a $2000 car, but mid 13's and a nicely restored older sports car are good enough for now.

Eventually, I will prob end up getting an AWD DSM to staisfy my needs for pure speed, b/c as far as speed on a budget, it doesnt get much better than an AWD 1g.

BTW, what is your last name, I think I might know you, did you go to hopkins? I might be thinking of someone else tho...

[Iceman]

HAHA yeah john use to go to hopkins to dude. Hes the one who use to own the teg.. with the red tear. Little john has moved up since and now has a pretty preped DSM.

I am the one who was in your art class with the integra. Just got rid of it last friday and got myself a 2g for less than half the price of the integra. 92tsiawd84 is my brother.

Sweet, well, I guess I know like half of you guys now, and I knew you all before I started posting here, damn, thats kinda weird.

[john]

Yeah, I knew it was you. You said you were the only one with a blue qwest. I am hopefully running 11's in the spring. Setup will be together within the month (hopefully).

[A//// Guy]

I dont know I think your setting your goals to far forward.... 11s are a good goal but I dont think youll run them right away. If you do thats sweet.

[slowbubblecar]

he should have the parts to do it

[A//// Guy]

I have parts to run 13.0... Im not doing it.
