That right there says you DONT have the fastest Vert around. I can make your vert as fast as a stock TII without porting and no nitrous or NAT setups... My old NA would keep up with B18 integras no lies then I blew it up LOL


Get a nice coupe and do it once and do it right.

This is my coupe that was quick and looked good










Nothing fancy, Mazdaspeed lip, stock spoiler, Wedsport wheels, under the hood were little things I did to make it faster

my vert has more power than almost any other na around... ive only met 2 other na drivers that have close or more power than mine... im sure theres more people out there with power close to me but either way 200 isn't enough for me and theres not much else to do to make more power that still isn't going to be enough anyway... all thats really left is caging my vert and suspension

300 hp on a DD NA? No way. My friend's FC with a P port made 240 whp and its louder than ****.


Turbo is your best bet. Then you have to spend money for a bigger turbo, intercooler, wastegate blah blah blah but.... it'll be more quiet.

Dont as how much I've spent and I'm still almost stock. You have to invest in reliability mods first. Pain in the ***!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm....

My NA Rx7 makes over 350hp to the wheels.

I think you should upgrade your E-shaft to bump the HP up a lil bit. Use agressive lobes!

You realize 200 rwhp is much more than a stock turbo FC, right? And 200 is perfect for a daily driver I feel. Anything more and you'll never be able to push it on the streets somewhat legally.

I have no problems tracking a completely stock car that has only 170rwhp. Forget power. It's all about balance and a good driver mod.
