I dunno. A stock TII seems fast enough to me... for now. You have to understand that my last car was a 110 hp front driver that weighed 3300 pounds, and who'se only redeeming factor was the fact that it posessed a manual transmission. When it comes to RWD, I'm used to 4000lb+ BMWs with sluhboxes.... I've actually gotten decent at powersliding them, belive it or not... the weight transfer is a bitch though. Makes the slide totally sloppy.

Basicly, its fast enough to start with. I dont want to wind up as a smear on the pavement. Once I'm used to the control offered by RWD, LSD, and a Manual Transmission combined, I can start ramping up the power.

 

Let me tell you, there are times when I kinda wish I had more power, but like the control/handeling of my car even more. HP is nice, but I don't care much about drag racing, its really auto-x which is my main concern. I bought my car 6 months ago with a 3" exhaust and intake, it makes 195hp at the wheels, which is PLENTY for me. I will upgrade my injectors, but only for safety purposes. With an exhaust and intake your TII should make a good 210hp at the wheels...if you like dragging then you'll want more, but it seems to me that you want it for handeling. Just get used to your car, you'll see how you want it. I'm perfectly happy with my 'tiny' amount of hp(as compared to FD's and highly modded FC's).

mine was *fast* for the first week now I need more power

and jeff, what's with the cows?....

 

I get you man. You put a mod on and within a week you get used to it. But how much HP do you really need unless your racing? and even then unless you are drag racing there are limits as far as class is concerned and what your able to do to car in road racing or Auto-x. But i guess its always a good thing to have about 500wheel HP at the tap of the throttle. hehe

 

Nate likes cows? Hmm. Never woulda guessed. Cows, Cribbage, Cars. hmm.

If we ever make a T-shirt for me I'm taking the car up Hwy 70 and photographing it on a nice twisty mountain road. Very pretty up there.

And yeah... I am getting used to the power of this car. It doesnt feel nearly as fast as it did for the first two days. That said, it still kicks total ***.
