I think I win.
I'm thinking of installing some spinners, maybe hydraulics on it also, just for that extra little touch

As for cornering, I've never actually driven on a track before, so I can't comment on what cars feel like at the limit, all I know is there are a whole bunch of wannabe dragsters out there. I guess I'm just jealous that they have some of nifty sports cars and I don't. So much wasted potential. If I had a million dollar supercar, I would drive it into the ground. Not purposefully, of course, I sure as hell wouldn't keep it in a garage for 90% of it's life. Oh, and just to show you how conservative I am. Turbos are cheating!  Although the turbo lag doesn't really matter now since most new cars have crappy DBW. | ||

You are what most car enthusiasts would call a rice burner and make me ashamed to have an import ;(. If your even thinkin of upping your turbo or engine your automatic tranny's torque converter will need replaced if not your whole transmission. Or you might as well not even put in those parts. Manual tranmission is great for launching and being able to control your rpms around turns and such. Sure automatics will switch faster then any manual but if ill say the .03 seconds that the automatic does it quicker, will be made up in my launch, and around turns easily. I will be interested to see how you launch a 400 hp fwd with an automatic transmission rofl. An engine drop is no big deal? A turbo attach is simple? These are all lies. An engine drop requires alot of time and work not to mention a shitload of tools. And a n/a car to get a turbo put on will be even harder considering all the limitations of your car. Your cars computer would need to change air/fuel ratio, you will need bigger injectors and fuel rail for the excess fuel being pushed in with the turbo. Some of your piping may need to be changed due to the high heat and not to mention another grand or two on the intercooler/hoses/ and installation. You just dont put induction on cars that are n/a unless you have a shitload of money or want your car to die within a couple years. You might as well just sell your car and get an car with more potential and induction since that is what your looking for. With your upgrades that you hope to get, you will be lucky to get a 11 second 1/4. And the manual transmission 95% of the time gives better milage and 0-60 if you can halfwhat drive what could i add to my car to make it a little faster with a 1000 budget? ^^? | ||

I dont know much about spyders although that they are fairly light with small engines. When you have a light car with a tiny engine you wont get huge power increases, but rather have your upgrades contribute more when you get more. I bought exhaust and intake for my first upgrades of my car because it ups your air fuel ration somewhat(same but smaller effect as gettin a turbo) and i only gained about 10 hp. Now that i bought more upgrades ,if i took off my intake and exhaust, id lose well over 30. For small upgrades to just get noticble performance, id suggest a intake(cold air depending on whats right for your car), and a catback exhaust which is most of the piping of the exhaust underneath your car. | ||

Second, you don't know the point of my car. I am doing everything gradually for a reason that I don't have to explain to you. Like I've pointed out before, most of this stuff is "temporary" until I find a better solution. Look for 2006 Accord performance parts and you'll see why. Third, I'm saying Engine drop and Turbo Attach is not difficult in regards to other things I have planned. Fourth, you don't think I know all that about changing stuff? Fuel/air ratio... blah blah blah. You think I'm just strapping shit into my car without knowing? I'm not a dumbass. Like I said, I've worked on lots of cars already. You don't know me or how I roll so don't be an ignorant dumbass. I roll with some of the best car tuners from Miami. I'm not a "pro" myself, but that tells you a thing or two. Everything you say I already know and more. Fifth, more potential? 11 seconds is decent. And I know I can get it past 10. Last, Rice burner. Lol. Okay guy. Talk shit now. When I'm done, we can race for car keys, deal? | ||

As for "loot"... my point exactly. Don't act like you know me. I got all the fucking "loot" I need. Anyways, I'll leave you to your arrogant self now. Until you want to race anyways (which by the way... I'll only be done in less than two years provided the right parts for my car comes out soon). I know you know what you are talking about. I do too. How else would I know you know what you're talking about. You're just being arrogant and partially because you interpreted what I was writing. Or maybe that's just how you are in life. That's fine. | ||

"And please dont try to act fuckin gangster online im from philly and recognize a bunk bitch when they speak." irony anyone? seriously, let the guy do what he wants with his car. I've seen two Lambo's and a Ford GT in my town before and two Ferrari's both on my way to school and at my school. I was frikin ecstatic when I saw each one. I would just yell the name of the car and stare wide-mouthed. First one was an orange Gallardo, so pretty, I was walking back home from high school one day (2 mile trek FU bus) and a saw some old hippy climb out of it, I was like WTF. Ok, maybe he wasn't a hippy, but he had long hair. He parked right outside a dentists office, so I'm guessing he's a rich dentist. It's the closest I've ever been to a supercar in real life, I was like 3 feet away. The Ford GT I saw while driving, I was actually driving with it for a while, albeit a little, um, behind. I wanted so badly just to floor my little Honda for all it had to catch up, the GT wasn't really going that fast, but I decided not to. About a minute later a cop drove by and I was quite happy I didn't speed up. The GT had the Vintage Gulf paint, but you could tell it was a newer one. Both Ferrari's were 360s, one was red, I saw this one driving on the freeway to college, the other was yellow, driving through my college. No, it wasn't ramming buildings and students, not that kind of through. I saw it as I was walking to the cafeteria, at first I thought it was a vette because of the clear headlights, but then I got a hint at the side and screamed to my friend "Oh snap! Ferrari 360.", and stare at it as it passed. He then proceeded to tell me how long it has actually been since he has heard "oh snap". The second Lambo was a baby blue spyder, I saw it this Sunday, in fact. I was coming home after driving around with a friend because we were bored out of our minds, and the intersection before my house a baby blue gallardo spyder came whizzing by. Having somehow subconscious learned from before, this time I said "Oh crap! Lambo." and pointed and stared at it, which could have been dangerous because I was technically driving. I've seen a few Elises as well, one on the exact same day as the GT actually but they are nothing compared to the other cars. So, uh, there's my supercar adventure. :D | ||

theres a warehouse by my old hs where they keep all exotic cars. i remember seeing all these ferraris roll outta there. a few months ago i was on the way home from the shore and i saw a lambo flying on the way home. i made a feeble attempt to keep up, but it was futile =[. he was barely hittin it and im flooring it to keep up. i saw a maybach drivin around this summer too, that was awesome. i love seeing expensive cars on the road, its so cool ;p | ||

Drive around there for one day and it's not uncommon to see more than a hundred top-rate luxury exotic cars. | ||
