Dizastical,

Just enjoy your car, theres nothing to worry about. Personally I would take it easy on the car untill you get the power fc. Once you add that and the intakes you should be all over low 13's. Sorry if we stunk up your thread, but I don't want you to blow a motor, especially if it could have easily been avoided.

 

I wasn't trying to make the thread complicated, I was simply trying to avoid the poor guy having this reaction to your post. Which he had.

From there it pretty much became a conversation between you and I, a rather fruitless one actually.

Now this guy feels like his car is something that can't be enjoyed unless he has spent $5,000 in addition to whatever his purchase price was. That's the only thing I was trying to avoid. The rest is probably technobabble to our new friend who has never owned a turbo (how's he supposed to know/care about boost spike) car. Since we're accomplishing nothing, I recommend we agree to disagree and allow each our own proof that the other is wrong.

 

Agreed. Have a nice day and a happy new year!

If you're ever in Birmingham, AL 94Touring look me up and I'll buy you a drink. We can go out and try to blow my motor and I'll stand in awe of how kickass yours is. I love heavily modded cars and wish I had one...

 

I didn't think that he had a bad reaction, and I hope he didn't, since that wasn't my intention. And I hope that he doesn't feel that he needs to spend 5k just to enjoy his car, cause he certainly doesn't......maybe just whatever the cost of a powerfc is these days

I appreciate your friendly offer, glad that you can be mature about a debate on the forum, unlike other members.

 

Hey man, I live in birmingham. We should meet up so you can buy me a drink lol j/k

I sent you a PM, shoot me a email at SJWhite2000@aol.com

I'll watch the engine blowing if FC's are invited

 

Ya d00d, we've met. I was the guy with the red FD (33) at the ALSCCA meeting. I think I invited you to that one, but you didn't run if I remember correctly.

We kept meaning to get together and hang out, but never did.

 

Dizastical,

I can relate to your dilemma. I have had my car for about 4 months. I took it to the track in the first 30 days and ran a 12.75 with a 1.8 60' on street tires. I did get/have the PFC though. I had the stock cat with dp and PFS catback, PFS IC and PFS intake....and perfect weather at Sea Level.

I say...get the PFC b4 you rag on it. I have a midpipe now, but have not run again yet. I bumped my fuel up over the preset maps that come with the PFC and I have an A/F gauge (EGT on the way).

Good luck and enjoy! These cars are fun as hell and definetly turn heads.

 

Dizastical,
Can you give me your 2 cents on Clean and FAST? I've heard that they are pretty trustworthy but I would like to hear from you the kind of service you got from them. Thanks
