I also showed support for him by suggesting he get an education and not risk injury to himself. That shows that I care about his well being, and I don\'t think it\'s possible to be more supportive than that. Not souping up the car is my opinion and nothing more. These boards are filled with people\'s opionions, every thread, every post. If you haven\'t gotten used to it by now then something\'s wrong. You said you didn\'t want to have an issue in public yet you keep bringing this stuff up. I suggest you stop because this is an issue that only I can have the last word in.


Dood you seriously need to stop ruining peoples threads  by fighting like this.. (if you had something like this to say then you should PM me)  You again had nothing to say about the thread with your last post and I am getting sick of it.  If you have nothing to say go bang your head against a wall or something instead of posting crap..

Seriously if this does not end we are going to have a problem..

And lavan, after that last post by Aaron I don\'t think I need to mention names

Well, the car itself is extremely light. So adding a couple people takes away some of the power, but I usually have a person or two riding with me when I race.

I might do an engine swap with an Elantra or Tiburon. You can do alot more with them over the Accent. If I never get up that much money, though, I might just run a 4 header and a new exhaust and stuff. I need to get a new paint job, too, as it is Gay Gold! I am thinking of a deep blue :) I should probably get new tires, as the cars tires are the tubeless midget tires. :D They are quite small.

if money is really the issue you can go change the oil, that will give you noticeable differences as well (maybe not as much but oh well)

oh yeah, and by the way...if you do go with the engine swap, but sure to change your brake too.  You don\'t wanna go revvvvv boooo and stop with a bomb.

I got my Audi working!

All this thought about tuning up my car made me remember my poor old \'82 Audi 5Cylinder (yes, 5, it has been sitting in my driveway for quite sometime.

And, Just my luck, I fixed it! With no problem! Man, I am on a streak here!

I had to fix the brakes, get Octane Booster (the gas inside the tank had been there over a year), a couple quarts of oil, coolant, Braking Fluid, Power Steering fluid, and a couple of other things and now it drives like a beaut!

Too bad I\'m gonna have to sell it :) There is no chance in hell of being able to make THIS a performance car :)


132K miles and counting :)

What is wrong with big spoilers? haha. Those are cool man. If I mad money to mod my car (96 Lexus ES300), I would. It\'s kinda hard to find and expensive if I were to find mods for my car. But if I did have a "regular" car... Like an Integra, Civic, Eclipse, or whatever.. It would be all show and no go... I personally like making the car look cool with body kits and such instead of going for speed and power. :D

Check out http://www.streetsourcemag.com (formerly streetscenemag.com) and check out the owner profile for serrano007. My car is there. :D

You\'ve got that right, those germans had something going when they made the 5cylinder, mine still hums like a cat.

Too bad the car weighs so much :)

But goto a junk yard and find yourself an old TURBO..  Woo woot..

I switched out my computer chip in my car this weekend.  Cost about $300 for a new computer chip for my car..

Got more power, acceleration, damn cool.  Also took off the governer on my car..  So I am no longer limited to 134 mph.  I can now push my car up to 160mph

even though I never plan on going that fast
