lol fart can sound. thats funny. I know a guy who used to give me a ride home from work and he would drive the crap out of his civic, it scared the hell out of me cuz he would take turns way faster than he should like he was trying to drift or something. and he would zip through traffic like he was running from cops. well, turns out one day(i wasnt in the car this time) he took a turn going wayyyy to fast and he drifted all right. He drifted over a curb going 50 and pretty much totaled his front suspension and popped both tires. insurance considered it totaled. he was an honest to god HEADCASE.
hes actually getting kicked out of the military for phyciatric reasons

Here's my little terror. Lol looks like a piece of **** huh

1.6L DOHC Non vtec motor imported from Japan. Block was sleeved by JG engine Dynamics, head was built by DH Racing. Blocks got Eagle H-beam rods and Wiseco 9:1 pistons

Turbonetics T3/T04E 57 trim turbo with a stage 3 turbine and type O compressor wheel. Turbo XS Dual stage boost controller, stage 1 10 psi stage 2 20 psi.


Engine still runs a few stock components i need to upgrade, the most important being the cams and second the intake. After everythings said and done i hope to lay something very close to 350 with cams and an intake. Anything more makes the car undriveable. I think she only weighs in at about 1950-2000.

Right now i only have it set at the stock wastegate spring setting of 8 lbs, i haven't got it tuned yet so i don't want to go overboard. Plus i keep setting off the O2 code so it's either running to rich or too lean, i don't have a wideband to check it, so i'd rather wait til i have the $500 bucks to get it tuned than do damage to it.
Cars main use will be for Auto-X (even though the turbo's way to big for auto-x) and track days at Waterford Hill, Gingerman and a few others around MI. Plus a little daily driving, maybe put the occasional Vette or Viper owner in there place

Just the way i like it. It's not a total sleeper, the exhaust is nice and rumbly. I put a flowmaster Camaro muffler on it with a really nice resonator that takes out all that high pitch weed wacker sound. Sounds like i'm packing a v8 at idle I think i'm gonna paint it flat army green, kinda getting sick of flat black, that and every stupid 16 year old kids doing it now.
