Uber:speid!

[FratBoi77]

Does anybody here appreciate the speed and acceleration of the Jeep XJ?
Mine corners like a Miata, and I smoke suburbans when I street race!
Balls Out!

 

[FratBoi77]

seriously. Does any one else know any power mods for an 89? its got MPFI, but came w/ only 177 HP, and Im pretty sure that at 200k it ain't got jack.

 

[miata13B]

plus I guarantee you flip that jeep driving it like a miata. . .

Well this is stupid

No, The talent is there. Funny thing, when leaf springs de-arch themselves, the rear end sits way lower, allowing you to slide easier.

:sits in total agreement:
There is no way anyone can drive those two vehicles the same. But its much more fun if you try to. The Miata sticks so well (thanks to those new KYB's) that nothing I've got the guts to do (thus far) has made for a decent slide.
The Jeep rides like crap, yet the back end never slides around, its the front end that wont stick.
I'm mixing my vices: Ax and Off-road, with the only results being a muddy Miata and a Jeep that drives funny.

Maybe I should lay off the sarcasm.
Back to the point:
I don't race my Jeep, but I figured that of anywhere to look for decent power mods for a vehicle, it would be here.
Any ideas?

As for off-roading, I can see that, but never on a street would you get that jeep to hit a skidpad like the Miata or a Slalom without flipping the thing. . . Plus you really don't want to slide a Miata it actually makes it go a little slower around a course. . . trust me on that one.

Well, seeing as that the car ain't mine, (dads midlife crisis) I dont do much with it. [scared] No I'm not some dumb kid. I do work on both vehicles, but I know much much more about the Off road world than the Street world. [never much liked the smaller vehicles], but after seeing my dad bring back his old-school driving skills, I realized the potential. So here I am, researching.
