hmmm what to do what to do...
Want to vent thoughts of my car....Just don’t know what to do still…
hmmm shall I sell her and save for half a year and buy a ITR which would be GREAT but then again i'm going to have payments all over again... do I really want that... sell my car and buy a F4I which would be great in the summer time but I do live in PA and well its not all sunny days here lol and along with the F4I buy a 95 purple coupe  I love that color!Probably wouldn't do much to the car need it as a daily driver Keep my car...put a stock front end on (which I would have to go to a body shop because for some reason I can not put a stock hood on my car it won’t latch with out pushing down as hard as I can also is all crazy kind of uneven) I’m so in love with the ITR but do I want payments it would be such a great car but I don’t want to drive it in the winter... F hate being 20 still in school... ERRR need to graduate! LOL almost got 1 year down! I get my car back tomorrow (distributor was broke as I mentioned in another thread) I think I’m going to put it up for sale for $9,500 but will definitely go down a bit if asked… O MY hope all works out well…. |

I wouldnt sell it...Id put ctr pistons in it
It'd be faster than an itr that way. (similar power and lighter chassis) Thats just me though |

It's ok... its quick just would like a clean car... and if you have seen my car its not exactly clean.. and not something i want to drive in the winter... by the way Pdiggs your car looks great... I love the clean look you have going on... and be patient with a motor swap enjoy what you have i wish i would have... lol thinking back i might have turbo'd the 1.6...

ctr pistons in the gsr engine is close to 12:1 compression
Thats a lot, but can be ran on premium fuel (Id do 94, if you guys have sunoco in PA) You'll need it tuned as well. 12:1 will put down some very nice numbers for a good price, around 175+whp. (Ive seen charts of 190 w/ ihe and good tune) Then some mild-wild cams and you'll be at 200whp easy. You could always sell the front bumper for some cash and a stocker if you want money. Oh, and thanks for the complement. Theyre always nice  |

YOu but with 12:1 compression how long do you think that thing will last? You would probably change engines like once every 6-8 months....Oh and yes 200 whp would be nice

me from another forum (im the top geekz0r) the geekz0r (11:03:46 PM): basicly, look at it this way...the 6speed is the same is the 5speed in 2,3,4,5,and 6...only the speeds are different because of the fd the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc. PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then? the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao |

It'd last forever if you tune it. There are some honda's that run 15:1 w/ custom pistons |
