screw that man, use your geo for a daily, i change my mind, get b. never to much horse power when youv got the money for gas. make that your weekend car. something you take out every once in a while so it can smoke the little hondas, jettas, and nissans with. if your driving a geo every day you can save a rack of gas money and have it all for the one weekend you fill up the rx 4 times just to drive around.

 

yea thats just me tho

 

lol yeah, a bit more seat time and a fresher suspension and I wont need a turbo to put j back in line.

 

what klind of hondas and eclipses are u running into?? all i see are a bunch of posers that 350hp would be a waste to use on.

 

no theres not too many really fast cars that it would make it hard to beat. they all just go for looks in bristol. ive seen one eclipse that some girl drives. thats pretty damn fast tho. i tried racing her but she just jumped off the line and bounced on my. but yea there mostly show around here. its just fun to beat the hell out of them., its never a waste if you dominate on them.

 

lol I can do it with my NA as it is, but just for that extra bit of oldschool beat down Id like a starion, which all of them stateside came with a 2.6L 4cylinder and a small turbo, but depending on the badging they had beefier things, and it was a nice RWD platform. But its such a shame that mitsubishi replaced it with the shitty eclipse...and most talon/eclipse drivers dont know they have a pos. So Id like to show em what a real DSM can do lol

 

i didnt even know what a starion was till i just googled it .

and yes i find it to be alot of fun to mess with the hondas . although there is 1 teggy driving around here with a big *** front mount that im not sure i would want to mess with.

talons and eclipses are pos i agree but hondas really arnt there just owned my dumb asses who **** em up and have no idea how to properly setup a car

 

LOL yeah...starions are nice and big, come in flatside or widebody, 4lug or 5, and if 5lug they have 16x7 and 16x8 wheels OR the SHP package sets the stagger at 16x8 and 16x9 wheels.

 

Whos going to run this event? Its at night so at least it wont be hot.

Ill be there.

Hey, thanks for posting the info. Chatty is actually a bit closer than Bristol. A night autocross... sounds interesting. Didn't your region used to have Solo I competitions a few years ago? I probably won't make this one but I'll keep it in mind.

 

ehh i didnt even know about it

 

man is there anybody who lives in britsol on this forum? i stopped by the liquer store earlier and there they were. two red rxs right nest to each other. one s4 gtu, and a s5 gtu i think. the s4 looked a little beat up, faded paint, ripped seats and cracked dash. the s5 tho was nice. i think thats a project car tho cause no plates. shiny paint no cracks that i could see. deep tint so im not sure, did see a rip in the driver seat but thats it. i was sised cause thats three in bristol now. all red, those two and the one TII that im wanting to buy. then as i left the parking lot of the store, right across the street inside a chain link fence behind a run down car garage was an sa. weeds all around it and all flat tires. brought a tear to my eye that someone just abondoned that poor little baby.

 

Me and Yeti are the closest to Bristol that Im aware of right now. Though I know where a 'possibly' running 87 gxl is sitting for about 800.

 

we should all go terrorize bristol one day and acups wouldnt know what to do

 

haha yea id flip a **** seein so many 7s in one spot. thats why i cant wait for the bristol meet. i wish soooo damn bad i had one to race. but its just as nice to see a buch of them. oh yea i lied. theres a couple others ive seen. but only once. an s5 vert, and three shitty *** fbs. thats it, so in total in bristol ive only seen about 8 or so in a 4 month period.

 

iv seen 2 here one red shity s4 vert and a shity s4 being towed thats all in a 1 year period. actually i lied iv seen a really nice black s5 the guy works in town but i ahvent seen it for months


do u guys think its a problem if my intercooler is so big that i cant fit the front facia back on? i decided its easier to go with the front mount

 

most front mounts you have to cut the bumper to fit around the FMIC

 

yea id say just cut around it to make it fit. then you can piece the little parts bat together to make it look more custom. a little bondo and hard work and you can make the front, where the intercooler is, stick out a little more on the stock bumper. might look a little different but its still a cool custom look.

 

wait wheres that gxl at? and what are the chances of it not starting and taking alot of money to get it up and running?

 

haha your just itching for a new 7ven.

 

this is what i ment i sold this intercooler to this guy. and now im buying the same one

its a big *** intercooler and the front facia wont fit back on very well. not the bumper metal thingy the actaully front face of the car

 

heres a bigger pick..man it brings tears to my eyes to see her

 

haha yea. i feel like im having withdrawls, cold sweats and shakes. and um i would still try to custom make a bumper around it.

 

the GXL im speaking of is in a 'salvage' type yard at exit 4 in whitepine, but it apparently drives. interior is **** in it, but body is fairly straight and all the glass is intact, will need new tires/wheels and a full exhaust at the least before id drive it anywhere. Ive personally seen the car, mechanically its all there, just needs tlc and scrounging for better seats. Ive got good condition grey manual window door panels out of my car since ive got black now, but that thing out there needs a full dash, or at least some serious creativity, but not bad for its cost, which might have gone down.

 

You don't need an exhaust, you need a saw.
