Anybody here drive modified cars

[skip0110]

In general, yeah, but generalizations are dangerous...

Subaru flat-fours have a single header.

 

[Famine]

All generalisations are wrong...

I also got new cams and new headers

I'd also love to know why he's already got cams and headers on a car with one cam and one header.

 

[cobragt]

I meant cam and header, sorry

Hey, you're nothing compared to the kid with the 173-mph, 10-second FWD Kia Elan. I'm sure it's that RX-7 performance chip that's helping him out.
👍

Compiled list of my mods over the weekend as I was very bored.
2004 Arctic Blue Pearl RSX Type-S
AEM V2 intake
Comptech Sports header
GReddy Evo2 cat-back
Hondata #4 ECU reflash
JDM Valve Cover
Crower Connecting Rods
JE Pistons
Skunk2 Valvesprings,
Skunk2 Valve Retainers
OEM body kit/A-Spec wing
TEIN SS coil-overs
DC Sports front upper strut bar
Blackouts/redouts

Up next are CF hood, JDM Type-R wheels. Maybe Type-R Brembo brakes, Recaro seats, HIDs, and maybe turbo

 

[cobragt]

Now did the guy turbo the kia? 173mph is great, not that I would try that on the street

 

[Ghost C]

I wouldn't knock the thought of a Kia Elan doing 10's in the 1/4, although I personally believe that guy is full of crap. I will tell you that the chassis and motor are both capable of that, but with alot of work. A whole lot.

Not that people should be drag racing the best handling FWD chassis ever built in the first place...

Haha, if he is trapping 173 mph he should be in the eights, not the 10s. Unless right before he crosses the line he hits the nawzzzzzzzzzz

 

[cobragt]

I'm gonna try to get atleast 200+ out of the lancer. I tell you right now, that my lancer even with stock intake out beats other FWD cars like the civic or accord. It might not have alot of hp but it seriously uses the hp it has to the fullest. I got enough torque to leave marks and some smoke I'm not gonna go for the ricy look, might get the windows tinted and get a factory made wing and a evo style hood so I can get as much air around the intake system as possible but I'm all about performance. I will get a Piggy back unit for 429, should really help out the SRI

 

[Dave A]

Ah, I'm just gonna buy a Sagaris and go that fast as it comes, well near enough, they can hit over 190mph stock, I think TVR officialy said 185Mph+ but they hav been clocked at 192mph. I've been saving the pennies for a good few months now to put a deposit down on one. My problem is, by the time I put the deposit down, I'll probably want a Typhon, and that costs more .

I would performance tune some of the cars I've had if I had the time, but I'd never mod a TVR.

He said he was trapping 119mph (which is low for 10.8), He said the top speed was 173mph.

[Lethalchem]

Here are the dyno graphs for my two cars. All numbers are at the wheels....you decide if they're modded or not.

445rwhp/470rwtq (Daily Driver)

468rwhp/515rwtq (Play car)

Sorry about the size difference. Once was on disk while I had to take a picture of the paper print out for the other.

 

[Burnout]

I have some aftermarket Walmart lightbulbs.

They're pretty awesome. Added 20hp, too.

 

[McLaren'sAngel]

Hiya! Meow! (='.'=)

Nice dynos LethalChem! 👍

I wish my Camaro can pull those numbers.

No reason why yours couldn't. I don't have anything exotic done to either of my cars. You could get those numbers easily enough. 👍

[Ghost C]

Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you fried.

Sorry to hear about the car. Get it fixed soon or you're banned from the club of cool people who are on my Car Domain friends list

That whole sentence sounds like it came from a movie. I believe it to be from The Fast and the Furious. The scene after Dom beats Brian's Eclipse.
