What else does he need to get in the 12's the car club he is in you need 12.99 or faster to quallify as elite. he's planning on buying a front mount and dsm link, any other mods that should come first he doesn't have a lot of money.

272 Intake / Exhaust Cams
650cc or bigger Fuel Injectors
Front Mount Intercooler - 2.5" piping
DSMlink
-Get car dyno tuned.

He should be able to hit 12.99 with the mods he has and those with a tune.

Be a responsible parent and keep your 16 year old out of the 12's before he wraps himself around a tree. A lightly modded DSM is plenty for an inexperienced driver.

I was thinking the same thing, but then if I had a dad that was all into getting me into the 12's at the age of 16 I would have gotten more pussy than Burt Reynolds in mustache land. I hoping it's just a race car? Or is this his daily driver, sounds more like it's his daily driver.

-Agreed. He doesn't need 12 point anything. At most he should not have to go above 15 psi on the 14b. imo.

hey... when I was 17 i was driving a mid-12 second car.... you just have to be a responsible person and know when you are actually able to use the power.... my mom hated my car and when I made it faster, but I always told her... its just for getting up to speed on the interstate and back country roads

[scheides]

He should be able to go 12's on that setup. Don't mod the car any further until he does Put in some race gas and crank up the boost to like 22psi, drop tire pressure to about 15psi, and then then SHIFT EARLY! 14b/16g isn't making much power after 6k, search around this forum for good shift points for that turbo/setup.

Then teach him to be responsible with the car, respectful to other people on the road, and polite and extra respectful to the police! If he is not, he will loose his license in a hurry and none of this will matter.

Just drop some race gas in her crank the boost and let her buck!

[scheides]

Also, teach him that street racing is a BAD THING, and don't go putting NOS or anything silly in the car. I sold my 1G to a guy that was a REAL A-HOLE and really up on his son street racing with it. It had a 20g, FMIC, 650's, good clutch, etc. great combo. The car ran for 5k miles and ended up on ebay because they blew it up with NOS and probably dumb-ass driving.

Don't be that guy.

My dad's friend gave his 16 year old son a '91 TSi AWD...he lost his license within 3 weeks. The final straw, busted doing 100+ in a school zone with his little sister in the car.

Soooooo messed up...

[A//// Guy]

I would have to agree with people here, but him some roller blades instead, and keep the car stock.

[crazy_skier]

yup, i'll have to agree 100%. I was one of the few cases of a teenager who drove respecatably, and when my friends saw I had a car with a 50 trim and such they started buying dsms also. Next thing you know I'm the only ticketless, licensed person out of 4 of us who had turbo eclipses.

So bacially, keep it on the track, and if you cant be reponsible throw a 14b on there and drive it like that.... you can get into enough trouble i've seen.

Oh yeah, and with the good driving comes trust... enough for my uncle to let me drive his 69 gto for a week and his 02 M5 around for a few days....

but have your son make an account and get to know us... we dont bite (well kracka might)

I'm harmless.

There's lots of Negative Nancy's on here, but there are also a few that have legit and knowledable answers!

Good luck...soon-to-be Grandpa! (your kid is going to have a sick little turbo coupe)

What club is he in? And how many want to bet that there isnt a 12 second car in that club, but a bunch of 17 second civics claimin 12s because they have an intake and a muffler.

^I will put down 3 packets of Perkins creamer as well as 2 Multi-Fruit jelly's that you are correct.

[HiImBrian]

I was pulled over a few times in my first car (mazda mx6) because I was drivin stupid or speeding. I have yet to get a ticket driving my dsm and it's quiet a bit quicker. Basically, I feel like I don't have to prove myself faster than every little honda that wants to race. I can finally just shake my head and laugh knowing that I'd more than likely smoke his socks off.

You're the father though not us. Just make sure your kid is a responsible driver and doesn't get himself or somebody else killed. 12 seconds is pretty quick for a 16 year old. I'd just get that 1g as clean and pretty as possible then they'll want him in the club.

[AwdGSX13]

16 yr olds and 12 sec cars dont mix. damn, ill put my pancakes in with that bet!^^

P.S. should be able to hit 12's with that setup w/ a good driver and with more boost and 110 race gas..
