It might be rice, but it's going to run fast and look sweet.

I am almost nearing the point of not modding my car anymore.
Too much time and not enough rewards, at least not for me yet.

That's how I'm getting. 3 years and thousands of dollars later, I still have a 16 second car. I'm still going to get the POS working right, but I've decided to buy a C4 to enjoy in the meantime.

Ah yes. Good to see that Zephyr will be joining the dark side. Screw all that modding your interior stuff. Who's gonna notice your interior when you've got a 13 sec. third gen. Come toward the light Zephyr come toward the light........

I remember when your car looked like that, dude! I still wanna copy the black gfx and hood v-section on mine. (Hope you don't mind!) Kinda makes you want to get your car painted all the sooner, eh, Zepher? Once again, your car is my favorite and sweetest 'Bird on the site. Well, actually I like Steve's too, but...

Same here. I've got an 87 IROC 5-spd with that wonderful LG-4. I've been wanting to do engine mods, but everytime I do, something go's wrong first and all of my money has to go to that (Radiator, clutch, rear-end, brakes....), so all I have done as far as the engine goes is a dual snorkle intake, a free flow cat, and a hooker catback. I can't break a 15.5 on my G-tech. I plan on swapping to TPI, and I have a complete setup at home, but I want to do heads, headers, cam, and mod the TPI all at the same time. That's a long time without a car.

That's why I decided that this summer I'm going to buy a 1G turbo AWD DSM, drive that all summer (although lack of T-tops is going to kill me), take the IROC off the road and just get the damn engine work DONE. I'm tired of having a car that looks fast, sounds fast, but barely beat my friends modded prelude (good thing he can't drive for crap).

Thanks guys,
All I want right now is for my car to run. I've got the LT1 all ready to go in, just have to change the motor mounts, but that is a pain in the ***, I tried it the other day.
So, as soon as the LT1 goes in, I will be done.......till I find a turbo kit.

I wish that was my house and the three boats docked in the back.
It is one of my clients' house in the rich area of Virginia Beach, house is valued at $650,000, not the most expensive but very nice.


My neighbors don't say anything about the noise from mine and my brothers cars, he just had a cut-out installed on his 96 Trans Am, thing sounds mean.

I'll look up that turbo guy and see what he's done so far.
