Yes I live in Florida. Tinted windshield is illegal but shops will do it of you as they usually charge a lot for it. Pic related my Civic has a tinted windshield. Never had any problem with cops but then again I don't drive through VA often

I ripped off the 3.7 badge and put a 5.0 one lol

Not much done yet just paid her off at 25k miles. Now im going to start modding. Currently she has Cobb SF intake and stage 1 tune with Cobb AP. I plan on going stage 2 and then possibly e85.

I like it. Do the GTs come without stripes or did you get a delete?

GTs usually don't come with stripes, but there are so many different dealer packages now it's hard to keep track of

Restored and maintained AF. Replaced cat w/ resonator, eBay intake, eBay exhaust, Flyin' Miata anti-sway bars.

air raid cai, boss 302 im, kooks longtubes, magnaflow catted x pipe, magnaflow competition cat back, eibach sway bars, frv-500 8.5 in wheels front 10 in rear, raxiom smoked headlight and tail light, billet front grill, sadly haven't been able to do any internal work to the engine yet but many more mods to come.

Good. Stripes are déclassé.

delete that plate mount, other than that nice car

Unleashed tune

I think that's everything

Made 367.7 kW (493.1 hp) and 515.6 Nm (380.3 lb-ft)

K/N intake
Short shorter
Gt500kr axle backs

2.5 pulley and dyno tune to come.

What state? I heard that some Ferrari dealership in one of the front tag states refuses to put the tag holder on the cars.

B234R block swap
TD04HL-15T turbo
Crossflow intercooler
Balance shaft chain delete
N/A intake cam and intake manifold
Big brake upgrade from Aero front and rear
Doubled rear sway bar
Swedefleet tuned

Short shifter**

I've sprayed anti corrosion on my battery terminals and I've changed the oil. And I'm keeping it factory original so I can sell it for extra $$$$ to guys like you.

coferlaw.com/texas-license-plates-two-front-back-light/

man as many straight pipe trucks there are youd think it wouldn't be a big deal but my friend was just cruising around a few weeks back and got a ticket for having his in the windshield.

It seems that front license plates are just ways for the state to make money.
On the other hand, if you get a liter bike and get good enough at riding then you don't need a tag at all.

did you notice a significant change after adding all those rear suspension parts?

Done dumping money into it. Starting to save for an MR2 now. Most of these mods we're just to make the car more fun to drive, as it was bone stock when i bought it.
turbo zzw30 is my next goal.

how is that 350 mi? what kind of power are you putting down with it?

i'd imagine the supercharger is a little overkill, do those M3's not make much power with boltons alone? they're relatively light for what they are but i guess it all depends on how you enjoy the car

haven't done much to it just because I wanna keep reliability and can't afford the big boy parts but
fswerks quick shifter
Cobb rear motor mount
Cobb high flow air filter
Cobb stage 1 tune
VelossaTech big mouth air intake

I'm a retard who knows absolutely nothing about car mods.
Do most people install mods themselves or do they hire mechanics to do it for them?

My supercharger is fine, I need to put my old diff back in, 3.91 & supercharged is overkill. I mean it's fun, but 2 weeks after supercharging I went and ordered a larger crank pulley, smaller sc pulley and now I'm waiting on parts to do an intercooled set up
Aiming for ~420whp

Bolt on cars make ~240whp, but with 3.91 lsd and 5th being 1:1 it's still very fun.

Its really good! You lose some torque, but its good for peak power. I made 430/400 whp/tq around there on 91

Yes, much tighter on onramps, offramps, no more rear end float, no more front end dive on braking or rear end dip on accelerating. Everything is tighter and planted. No more wheel hop on launches, I can actually put the horses to the pavement without bouncing. I haven't done an autocross or track day since doing everything but I think my times will be significantly improved

I'm holding off on other things so as not to change my autocross class (wheels, exhaust, possible SC in future)

vortech makes great kits, did you get car with it installed already? how many miles have you put on it with the supercharger, i fear for that engine's reliability

>Tfw deciding between SCing my V6 or selling it and getting a 2011 V8 with 50k miles for $16.5
Reee

No I bought it from someone & had the vortech unit rebuilt then I installed it. Probably like 4k miles since but I've done the head, gasket & studs, it should be fine.
If it shits the bed S52s are cheap and plentiful.

K&N Drop in Filter, HPS Silicone Intake Hose, Hasport Torque Mount (62A), Hasport Rear Motor Mount (62A), Acuity Shift Linkage Bushings, Acuity Shifter Base Bushings, Acuity ESCO Shift Knob,Stoptech slotted rotors, Akebono ProAct pads, BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S

nice, looks like some killer upgrades for not a ton of cash then

Nothing sexier than dark wheels with chrome on the outside.

i would suggest v8, from personal experience sound is so important, its the one thing my car does every day that makes me happy without having to break the law, also reliability, and higher potential

Lucky ass motherfuckef

what's the difference between a 400 Hp supra and an 800 hp supra? nothing, they both do 13 second quarter miles.

How hard was it to swap the block to the 34? I've read that it kinda "just bolts up" if you use 35's belt stuff and all that.

I've got a power pack 3 ready to install, other than that.

WHY WOULD YOU MOUNT THAT REEEEEEEE

Forgot Carbon fiber rear splitter and
Koni yellows with Ford racing Y springs.

Debadged for weight reduction

I went with the GT Premium and Performance Package. I'm happy with that until stuff actually needs to be replaced. I would like to supercharge it and add off road long tube headers, but in the end if I'm going to put that much money into the car I might as well get a GT350. I'm considering getting an R.

I love PP wheels. I wish Project 6GR would make replicas in the sizes they offer for the five and seven. Imagine concave PP style wheels in 20x10 front 20x11.

Thanks

Thanks dude, I was always under the impression Veeky Forums hated black wheels with chrome lips tho

Well it's not really "lucky" when you have to work for it, here's how she used to look back when I first bought her.

haha, race me from a roll bruh!

I put a WAT sticker on it. I am eventually gonna do a full 3 inch lift once I get the sensor issue sorted (runs like shit in closed loop mode, thinking bad upstream o2 sensor)

Waiting to run the engine warranty out past 36k miles before swapping the turbo and installing the waste gate actuator, probably will do charge pipes at this point as well.

Also probably just going to run summer tires soon and say fuck the snow (Snows 3-4 times a year here).

Hire a mechanic. Doing it yourself is just asking for trouble. No matter how good you think you are, you WILL fuck something up.

Too poor for a focus?

fuck you bitch

Nah, the Focus scene is god awful, even though I'm tangentially related to it. The average Focus driver near me is like some awful hybrid between former Subaru drivers and Dad's who had to trade in their mustang when they had kids. Also, I think the ST1 focuses were cheaper than the Fiesta with the Recaros and other bits.

I test drove the Fiesta and knew it was what I wanted immediately.

what part of the design? k24 is just a stroked version of a k20. All the coolant and oil passages line up exactly the same way. k20/k24's are highly frankensteinable

I'm not an Aussie I swear.

Also redid the Ignition system trying to isolate a problem.

yes and yes, looks are purely subjective and it tows just fine and still gets 16mpg on 37s
