Run away from this site and never look back...

This is a bad site to ask how to tick out your car...they all like stock looking cars with lip kits...

look at my clean car and I get flamed for it....


<U>But if you want TECH advice it's the best place in the world...</U>or you can just email me I can help lots...

mnej1guy, if u feel so disgruntled about this site then why are u here? doesnt make much sense to me. u stay here to deter other people? c'mon get a life. only reason i would mention i dont like your car is due to the kit. im a fan of the stock look myself. but im not going to "FLAME" you. i mean hey u got a b-series turbo thats cool. maybe u should care less about what other people think

as for REDFINGER61, if it were my car (keep in mind it isnt) id look around for a swap and convert it to manual. lower it on some decent (not overly big) wheels and slowly mod from there. once again it isnt my car. do what u please. maybe even finding a automatic gsr tranny and say a type r engine to be different (if automatic is ur thing).

I can hardly imagine u get flamed much. There's a diff. between show and go, and show and d15z6.

thanks for the input...I have already put some Einke 16's w/ I beleive they are 205 Parada's I have to check though, and i also just last week put some 2" lowering spings on from goldline, a HUGE improvement,

What engine swap would you reccomend? and tranny?
I totally want to go manual, and I think a "show" ride would be sweet, I love to do body work and paint!!

MNEJ1GUY, your car is nowhere near clean. its pretty ugly but the fact that its turboed is good.

Wow well the way you were talking you were asking to get flamed.

Just don't show off your car here. Not alot of people will like it if it has a Body kit, regardless of it was a C-West authentic because on this site it's just against the grain to have one.

To the original poster-- Reasearch. Function over Fashion. And do what you like. Those are the three rules.

Good luck!

You may be correct on the car in that picture, but can you honestly tell me that you car is "Clean"? I mean come on just look at these hideous pictures. Clean means that the body lines run together Smoothly, not like its straight outta "Transformers"......come on man give me a break
