My new car
Bought it today...Drove 720 miles round trip to get it, just got home. Wow, I'm pretty happy w/ it so far...
94 twin turbo, 33k miles on it....$23,500. The guy is some boxing trainer in his 40s who babied this car...It still smells new inside. Engine bay is spotless. He even pledges the wheel wells so you can run your finger under there and have it come back clean.
Twin turbos spool fast.. I hit full boost at like 2900 rpm!
Damn, click the link instead...

Re: My new car (downpipe)
SWEET... its in great condition man... but be ready for some major maintenance at around 100k... not bad stock, but those muscle heads still have a chance... so even if u dont plan to mod... its inevitable!

Re: My new car (degradated)
ah yes lovely car. the VG30DETT is one sweet engine, but it's kinda cramped. i know of a person local who has a Z31 who's putting out 380hp/420tq, lightly modified 
he run's 12.5 on drag radials. hope you like your car! cant' wait to see the mods you come up with btw, http://www.freshalloy.com is a good site for nissan owners

Re: My new car
thanks everyone....
I plan to keep it stock for a while until all my insurance stuff gets settled and my credit cards are finally paid off that are left over from the integra...
One thing I like is that this is bone stock right now...he didn't do a damn thing to it. Left all the fun stuff for me.
But I will probably end up doing the usual JWT chip (55-60 hp), exhaust (20-30 hp) and intake (15 hp), and turning up the boost to like 1.1 BAR...should give me 360 whp and 400 ft/lbs of torque hopefully. This won't be for 6 months at least...(haha probably sooner knowing me).
Damn - the car is more silent that a stock integra... It's so quiet, you are at 100 mph and you don't even know it unless you look at the speedo.
Oh yeah....what do you guys think about boosting in 5th in this car? It seems to respond really well to light throttle touches in 5th....I was always careful not to boost in the integra in 5th, but this has a pretty built up engine (forged pistons/rods, etc)...I guess it's ok to do in this car for short bursts.

Re: My new car (degradated)
It can take it man.. Remember it came from the factory turbocharged with all the right components in that engine to handle high speeds and hard driving. Integras...well they didn't. You know the rest dude. BTW nice car man and glad you found one as sweet as that. Between those and supras they are becoming a rarity to find that mileage and condition on them! Good luck and get the stillen downpipe!! 
Forget keeping stock, what fun will that be.

Re: My new car (boost killz)
I boost in 5th in my integra. Who cares.. as long as the EGTs are nice there is no problem.
It's those high speed runs / racing in 5th we should be weary of ....
