Default If you could do it all over agian.........BOOST or ALL-MOTOR

I'm just asking because i know when you guys have troubles with your motor/turbos and the headach begins........do you wish you would have never gotten turbo?

*is the brut HORSEPOWER & TOURQE worth it while it last?
*do you ever think about what your going to do when the motor starts going out?
-sorry for all the questions latley but i just need more infor (as in personal experience) about what they've done to their cars..... i need to make up my mind

Get a daily driver for when you break things. And trust me, you will break/blow up thing.

If I could do it all over, I would modify the unreliable of my cars and leave the reliable one alone...

That is my opinion now of course... but in a couple of months spirits may change... we'll see

Yep again. I don't know why I took a reliable car like my honda, and made it what it is now. Guess I will just have to get another.

certainly not all motor.

sometimes i agree with what dustin said. but i am in way to deep to give up now or admit defeat.

i would hae bought a faster car to begin with, like i supra. but i love my teg and i'm not giving up on it.

Well, I must be one of the few that say I would do nothing different. Well, almost...I would have gone boost sooner

Hell, the cost of both of my turbo hondas combined (cars, parts, body and paint on both) is less than the sticker price of a brand new Civic...let alone a Supra It pays to be a mechanic.

I'm with DSF. My car has not cost me very much and I certainly couldn't afford a Supra. I don't think I would mod a newer Civic or Integra though.

That was my original plan. I WAS a die hard all-motor fan. But, after a taste of the "dark side"...well...you know the story

There is no way I regret doing what I did. I love my car and I take very good car of it and I cant say Ive had any major problems. I wouldnt think twice about making my next car turbo. Even my truck is turbo.

well, i never expected to be rebuilding a motor so soon and all by myself having never done it before. Anyway, I wish I had a beater to be driving around for when my good car blows to crap!

I am learning a heck of alot though

I would have never bought headers, and some other things. I would have gone boost from the start. People talk about buying supras and stuff and that's cool and all but at the time, there was no way in hell I could afforda supra. I can't even get one now, not even close.

Cheap cars are cheap to buy, cheap to fix, and cheaper to mod. Supra's are expensive to buy, expensive to mod, expensive to fix.

You got the money?
