How about this fun twist ...

Let's start with:

- Tripled concern about theft.

 

Nothing, I hate/regret nothing about going turbo AND I'm automatic, you'd think I'd have something to regret... mabye its just me but I like the extra maintenance... it makes me feel like the car runs almost better then new the way I take care of her like she was my first born :D

 

Hehe, You'll have different opinions in a few years...

 

My picks:

-breaking axles

-excessive wear on hood hinges

-always wanting to turn up the boost just a little bit higher than what you should have it at

 

Dirty Engine Compartment, Constantly Checking Your Oil, Buying Tires Often, Getting Gas Very Often.

I hate having to tighten things, like manifold bolts, over and over again!
I hate blowing gaskets and having to change them, ack!

 

i hate building a setup and not being able to drive my car for over a year!

 

- Always fixing/working on/breaking the damn car!
- File-fitting rings sucks
- Costs so much $$$, and then you realize you spent it on a stupid car.
- Could have bought a supra.

 

Turbo Timing

 

Werd! All the freakin $$$, omg and then you have a $30K Civic or Integra when you could ahve spent that money on something *better*

 

wa-wa my ***** hurts! c'mon you guys knew what you were getting into! its the name of the game, real mods cost big $$$

you know even w/ a supra you would be modding it out, me i like being the underdog. thats why im modding my hybrid civic, only thing i dont like about this hobby lately is the huge increase in rice boys ever since F&F came out, it tripled!

look at it this way if you did have a supra or 300 zx or turbo mitsu, you know how high insurance would be? there are + and - to everything.

 

You pretty much have to do all this with any car you want to modify. My SC has me checking belts every other day, but soon I will be turbo like you guys. What do you mean by excessive wear on hood hinges?
-smogging the car

i love my car and sometimes love working on it....othertimes i hate....

it owns me i think....instead of thinking of bills to pay....i think about more sttuff for my setup

then i start thinking about a full build head, block....then i stop and think "wait, im not even running tthis yet or or or i need this ahhhhhh

 

Ahha, but it would be SO MUCH FASTER!

 

I just saw magnecor wires for a supra tt...$244.99 woo hooo!!!
...and an HKS triple disc clutch, which is what youll probably need for the 700-800hp I think youd like to make for $1850.00...yeee haawww..!!
I like Acura prices much better.

I hate blowing my motor completely up on my first ever run at the track.

 

-frequent oil changes
-exhaust leaks
-tightening bolts
-checkin oil daily
-makin sure no vacuum hoses popped off
-gas mileage
-the smell of gas from being too rich after a race

 

Heh, I am just saying I hate opening my hood 20+ times a day.

 

worrying about policia

 

gas mileage
theft
all kinds of riceboys trying to race you
going to a car meet and people asking you hundreds of questions

 

- not being able to floor it at 200-240km/h in 5th gear for 10 minutes like my friend does with his normally aspirated CRVTEC when we're playing around on the highway.
- having to watch meters constantly (this you don't have to do at night time if your meters have built-in warning lights).

I don't have that problem in Thailand You go as fast as the car infront of you.. and if that's not fast enough, then u overtake I love it.. no speed limits, drive like a **** swerving all over the road.. no problem

 

haha, sounds nice

 

Damn I envy you!

 

well its all good AS LONG as YOU DONT HIT ANOTHER CAR/MOTORBIKE.. and as long as you don't do it during the daytime (the driving like a **** bit, speeding is still okay )

 

what sucks about turbos is that once you go boost you'll never go back to NA.

that boost feeling is awesome.
