Why don't you just buy a Lexus if you wanna pimp it out. If you want too go fast big rims should be your last concern. You need to decide if you wanna be a racer or a ricer, b/c you can't be both. Just remember speed never goes out of style.

250 horespower is going to be tough without a ton of money, a turbo, or a new motor and a turbo. A 50 shot plus all of those bolt ons will only get you to somewhere around 180 hp or so. Subs and 18 inch chromies are going to slow you down substantally. A custom dual exhaust is pointless, as you only have one exhaust bank and wont move more air than you can push through a single 3 inch exhaust. I would'nt go any larger than a 16 inch rim, but you can go upwards of 18s with up to a 205 as far as tire width.

No this is my car:


And I think dual exhausts have about as much use as pina colata butt lotion

BTW...does the area look familiar

This has to be a joke, right? Can I come find you and smack you around a bit?? You want fast 1/4 mile times? I got a good one, throw your car off a cliff that is a 1/4mile high, I bet it will get down that 1/4mile faster than your 50shot of NOS powered D16Y7

anyways, to the creator: dude, you don't need 18 inch wheels and body kits, and altezzas to make your car show worthy. heres my old DX hatchback. plenty show worthy, and very able to be fast. i miss her =\ ******* drunk drivers...

nice house bauley

anyways, you've got a lot to learn i see. my advice: spend a good bit of time on here before you buy anything, and don't create a thread everytime you have a question. look around, search, read, etc. before you know it, you'll probably won't want to waste $$ on 20 inch spinnaz and subz, and you'll be building a fast car.

but just to get you started, you should start reading up on motor swaps or a turbo for your engine.

oh and jun ek9: what color was that hatch???

well, first of all....if you're going to drive fast, you're going to expect an accident, unless your car is totalled or your repair bill to gonna go up since you've made your car's parts harder to find. second of all, if you want your car to go faster, there's no point in adding even more weight to your car, that makes it slower. so choose if you're going to put it on a race or on a show. based on my opinion, i think it's pointless adding more weight to your car and waste even more money on buying new parts to boost your horsepower.

P.S. to those who said he's gay. that's just the most pointless reply and comment of all. how old are you people? if you can't give any practical suggestions in helping, why do you even bother post? plus it's against the regulations of usage of this forum.

If you wanting 250 WHP how in the **** would you achieve that with wasteing large amounts of money on chrome wheels.
Let alone them slowing you down b/c they're heavy as ****.
your best bets going to be to hit Club Si up...
