well, then at the very least it makes you look like a guy that would put a body kit on a WRX.

leave the design to the automotive designers.

I've got a better idea! Why not just keep it stock appearing, put the money you were going to spend on th ebodykit into performance mods and have a sleeper. Then when your driving around and some Honda or whatever pulls next to you thinking their gonna whoop up on a stock WRX you can hand them wood screws to reattach their doors you just blew off.

Just my opinion, I like the element of surprise. Twisted Evil

i like core-riders idea. or if you're not going for gas-mileage get a car with some real power like a t/a or ss camaro.

When i can afford it this is what id do to my ride....shave off the door handles, paint it all black, low profile tires w/ rims, tint out the windows, remove all brand recognition (i.e. Honda, Chevy, Ford, etc symbols) and just roll around in a black generic looking car...itd be fun

Man make it like those prototype kinda cars, where they take doors and bumpers and hoods etc, that dont fit and put them on the frame off the car.

My old car was a '92 Acura Intergra it was really awesome. manual transmission and sliding sunroof. Now i have a '92 Honda Accord

Mandi: Pull out the F22a when it get a bit old, and get a JDM spec H22a with about 20,000 on the clock. It will drop straight into the '92, hardly any mods nessesary. Keep the F22a tranny if its in good nick and you want better fuel econony, or put the H22a tranny on for performance (I would prefer the F22a).

thats what the VR6 golf is all about....no one expects it... my bro's car smokes all the cars at our school includeing a 2.5 RS (2002) and a wrx. dont body kitt it! seriously do something to the motor, and i dont mean muffler!! you just get made fun of by the guys who acctually know how to build cars.

ohsix · Posted: Mar 24, 2003 5:44 pm Post subject:

i agree with dragon on the muffler thing. i dont care how much power it adds that should be the last thing you do. i think those things sound hideous. at least if it's gonna sound gay have the power to make the other people feel stupid.

DRAGON88 · Posted: Mar 24, 2003 5:44 pm Post subject:

go to http://Altavista.com and search for "Dahlback Golf" in image search.

http://www.altavista.com/image/results?pg=q&stype=simage&imgset=2&q=dahlback+golf&avkw=xytx ok that might work. 600-900 hp depending on turbo setup..

But none of these cars are half as cool as an 69' SS Chevelle with a 396... I'd take some old fashion muscle before sporting up a compact.

Ahhh!! I hate sports exhausts on crappy cars! So they MIGHT add 5-7 horsepower (MIGHT), but huge ones just look and sound hideous.

CM, i bet that the Dahlback sounds soo wicked!! 4 in straight pipe exuaust.....

I have a 98 Integra its a cool car-manual transmission, leather seats, CD player sun roof, right now everything is stock because I don't have any money! But as soon as I get some money I'm going to put some new rims and stuff on it.

dude, DONT put those buzzy and annoying as hell exhausts on a good car like that. put the real deal on and go for a rally exhaust, they sound hella powerfull, and actually DO give you decent power. and i would DEFINATELY go for performance mods before you touch the body/appearence.

DRAGON88 · Posted: Mar 24, 2003 8:26 pm Post subject:

straight pipe? is that what yout talking about wakebrdr190 my neighbor has straight pipe on his rally cars they do sound bad ass too. straight pipe doesnt work on road cars though, its not legal in some states.

pfff imports, the only car I would probably drive is a porsche or some pimped out german car. Im a truck man for life. the chevrolet 350 engine IMO is the best engine ever made, you can do so much to it, and trucks can handle a ton more horse and torque than a car. They are horrible for gas milage compared to cars...but when it comes down to horse and muscle....cars dont compare to trucks.

hey dragon, i dont know what they put on for rally racing, but the cars MUST be street legal to race in most rally's.
in a rally race, the cars drive on everything, sometimes including non-corded off public roads. the cars must be officially liscenced and road legal.
again, this is for MOST rally's, not all.
but yea, I GUARENTEE there is a better legal exhaust out there than those darn buzzy ones that are on rice burners, even if its not a straight pipe.

Sean_Brinston · Posted: Mar 25, 2003 5:57 pm Post subject:

Rally racing is sick, those cars have so much power. I agree with dragon on the exhaust thing. Everyone at my school has stock civics with a crappy exhaust . The only nice car, is a kid who has about 10 grand into a Vw.

I used to have a 1991 mitsubishi 3000gt vr-4, with an extensive list of mods to it. Only exterior mod was rims, and blacked out windows. I "only" spent about 4 grand on the engion, and ran in the low 12's, high 11's. That was a fun car.

And to comment on a previous statement, although I now prefer trucks and suvs to cars, you are drunk if you think a chevy 350 engion can handle more power than any car engion. Must be one of those "chevy is king of the world" guys, who have never heard of the new dodge hemi, which will run circles around the chevy 350.

And to let you know, one can put out close to 700 hp on a turbo setup with a stock block, from a v6 engion.

And I think if a body kit will make you happy, go with it. I personally dont care for them, but your ride should please you, and if other people like it, cool.

criminally_minded,
My Honda is an EX not it doesn't have leather seats. it still has the stock radio/tape player in it. I am buying a car this weekend just for the system in it and then I will have a bad system. But for the whole engine thing I am low on the $$$$ right now.

wakebrdr190, thanks for describeing the sport of rallying to me.....i wouldnt know, being that im on a Rally car team and all.....being that our team won the oregon trail pro rally for both G2 and G5 classes.

sean, you brought this on your own

VEEE DUBB!!!!! Very Happy

B-rad · Posted: Mar 26, 2003 9:08 am Post subject:

The chevy 350 is one of the most easily modified engines out there. Now if you look at the new 350, the LS-1, it is a small block v-8 that has unlimited potiential. If you have a turo set-up on a stock block you would not make anywhere close to 700 HP. Stock means no mods, do get 700 hp on a v-6 even w/ turbo you would need mods. If it's turbo upgrades, exhaust, down pipe, any of this are mods. Show me a stock car w/ a turbo v-6 and 700 hp, I'll belive when I see it.

DRAGON88 · Posted: Mar 26, 2003 9:55 am Post subject:

also if you build your car make sure that the axles can handle the power....othorise they will break off, and thats no fun.
