Poor running FD...vs...2 sti's/Evo/350z
These are all my buddies cars and we went out the other night to just mess around. This was no stop and go kinda of stuff. It was late night freeway gear drops. My car runs soooo rich and has a horrible hesitation at 4k but I still pulled on all of them. Their mods were basic... hardpipes turbo/headers(zcar) back exhaust. My car has some hackjob front mount with a fan on it(?) and turbo back exhaust(thats it). I pulled on the Z the best. The evo wasnt too bad. I barely took one of the STI's. These people are getting killed by their huge car payments and insurance.... their cars do look and run nice but I like eating more than just top ramen.
In conclusion my 1993 car with basic mods can still do its thing even though it rattles like a bitch and is horribly loud.... plus I didnt spend 30k+ on it I am a noob FD owner(former DSM) and I ******* love it.

maybe your friend needs to learn to drive his sti better. i ate plenty of FD\'s with more mods than yours and most likely running better but who knows maybe they couldn\'t drive their rx7 i miss my sti but hey i love my FD

I know I would lose horribly in a drag. My buddies modded their cars(evo/sti) and ran into problems too. The evo has basic bolt ons and runs like **** throwing engine codes ect. The guy with one of the STI's bought it new and put an hks BOV kit on it(vented) and turbo back exhaust and his boost sensor(im assuming electronic boost control) went to **** twice and now the dealer wont fix it. His car spikes at 22lbs or some **** and then throws codes. All I know is that I'm happy with my FD now I just need to learn how to tune it.....
