I would say no offense... buuuut...

I'm pretty sure my gsx, WITH a rod knock and the bad turbo, could outrun a little 1.8. Indeed, there is something being smoked, but no, it's not a turbo dsm.

On another note, minus the white lettering on the tires, car looks good. Not ricey. Maybe it's just ricey cause of what's on the inside.
 
alright folks my lil 1.8 has a lil more then stock HP the fact i made that comment was because im getting ready to start building the motor but im going to try and keep it round the the G/M i got right now and i cant help that the guys i race cant LOL. but over all i thank everyone on there comments on my car not looken like a ricer

Yeah, sorry but it's kinda like someone with a "built" 2.8 v6 Camaro saying they'll take an iroc-z. It doesn't matter what you do to it it's still gonna be a sled.

i agree with that but cant a man just basck in the glory of the races iv won:hellyeah: to forget all the races iv lost:banghead::pray:
 
Looks good man, I love both my Tsi and my DL. But like people say, in order for you to beat a stock 2.0 turbo you'd need custom JE pistons with maybe 10.0 or 10.5:1 compression pistons, ported head with a 274 Schneider cam, milled down 2.0 non turbo cam gear, ported intake manifold with a 3000GT throttle body, ported exhaust manifold, high flow cat, 2.5 cat-back exhaust, and a 35hp shot of nitrous on 91-93 octane gas. :)

Don't even need all that. Slap a turbo on a stock block drop 400lbs off the car and you'll be embarissing alot of the stock to lightly modded 2.0s. And be pissing off all the evo's that you can keep up.

Believe it or not i still can get 30mpg when i just drive normal and thats with my timing retarded more than it needs to be just so i can stay in a safe zone under boost. When i get super boost happy i drop down to about 25ish. Its still just as reliable as its ever been. One of these days i'll go full standalone and really wake up.
 
IMO only Hondas and Nissans tend to look ricey. I like the look. Like someone else said, kind of looks like a drag car with those tires. Keep up the good work!
 
I like the look man build your car the way you want other people are going to hate no matter what you do
