ROFL 289hp rear wheels for $15.00 wow...(rear wheels lol)
(someone should tell that ***** that his front wheels make power)
(i think the comma is at the wrong digit)
id say even for $1500 dollars sounds pretty cheap..unless he is packign a 150 shot or something (just turbo alone setup would cost a lot more than that)

What's so special and fast about that. The wheel height made the car slower, then add the intake, header, exhaust and you're looking at maybe 35hp more. I believe it was HP TV that did the same to a Civic and picked up around that much. So then that car was what a 15 second Civic. I don't see it flying. Not to flame you though.

But it could run down an Iroc.... no, really....

If you could pick up a full 3.5 seconds with those mods, I'll run out in the garage and mod my gf's 2001 Eclipse.

Maybe he forgot to mention a turbo or something, maybe NOS, or maybe he race one of those "V6" IROCs you guys are talkin' about

The only front drive 4 banger that I wouldn't mind owning is a GLH or a GLH-S .A guy I used to work for has 4 of them two are pretty worked over ,The 1 he replaced the turbo with a huge (for a 4 cylinder ) super charger , put in a good sized cam hogged out the head ,installed biger valves ,custom header and exhaust Its been sitting in his barn for a while since the bottom end $#!+ out on him .

GLH stans for Goes Like Hell, Its True !And S is for shelby.
