you also have to realize that honda civics only have like crap for torque. they dont even have enough torque to get outtat thier own way. on a side note, ive been in a modded Si, nowhere near the accelleration i experianced this morning.

i just drove my rx up and down the street (with out tags aswell), and wow, it is very quick, even bone stock and full of tools, parts, trash and a floor jack. all of this and the gas in the tank is roughly 6 years old. i cant wait to see how fast it will be when i get the td04 and intercooler put in. its gunna be a moster. hondas beware!!

concentrate on handleing and learning to control your car, then you start improving engine performance. that way, you should be able to get yourself outta most situations caused by extra power. that and you will be a better driver for it.

also, dont forget to make sure that when you do belts, the #1 cyl is at top dead center of the compression stroke i made this mistake the first time i did belts when i build my rx, i set it to tdc of the exhaust stroke. needless o say, it never started, just backfired a lot.

part of the arch was gone on mine, i cut out the rust and made a patch from the aluminum siding material, really thin stuff too, i had to use two layers. rivited it all in and went to town with the rubber spray

why does this ring a bell, oh wiat, i just finished this work on my car. i had a hole under the trunk that ,when i cut out the rust, i could fit my fist through. hours or grinding with a dremel (which died as a result), bondo, some aluminum siding left overs, some rivets,self drilling screws and lots and lots of rubber undercoating. needless to say, there arent anymore rust holes that i know of. now i just need to get the line-x or rhino ling spray on liner sprayed under the whould body of the car, the only problem ive come across is that there are some soft spots around the lift points which leaves me using the rear diff and front x-mamber to lift the car.

ill let you all know the times in a couple of weeks when i get my rx finiished. i just need a few more parts and ill be set.

you guys on the left coast are lucky, they use salt here and in Pa, i think they use a salt and calcium mix the loves to eat cars.

my cousin put three hidden kill switches in his bronco to keep his coworkers from parking it on the other side of the factory he works in. they cant even hot wire it. that is what im thinking of doing with my impreza and rx.

someone should get a empty warehouse and use it for a suby pick-n-pull, keep em inside so that they dont rust any more than they already are. locate the facility somewhere in the middle of the country so that everyone might have a chance to come. and it would also make shipping costs lower for those who cant make it there.

i need something like that for my rx, i got some pugs with wide tires and now they stick out over an inch from the sides of the fenders.

the only problem with lqn is that if it gets too cold, you might freeze your fuel before it gets to the chamber. one thing you can do to cool the intake is to bypass the coolant lines that run through the throttle body. i did this on my impreza and havent had any problems with it.

dude, you have too much time on your hands, but your theory is sound.

i have a stock wrx ic, i just need to get the turbo and a few other little parts.

i need a bov for my rx, i have the intercooler for it, but didnt get the bov with it.

welcome to the wonderful world of subaru.

im thinking of making somethink like that nad getting a side vent to let the hot air gett out at speed. it might just work, but first i need to finish the rx

i need one of those for when i get my td04, ill put it with its own vent or small scoop, maybe do it like all the ricers and have vents on the sides in the fenders. hmmmm, you gave my an idea, owww, my wallet. i just had a brain storm, that explains the burned smell.

there is a company that makes a cold air intake for the impreza that has a box that wraps around the piping, you fill the box with ice. i cant remember who made it though. and for turbo cars with an intercooler, there a nitrous company that has a intercooler chiller, it kinda works like a sprayer, but it puts out extreamly cold gas, i think its compressed co2, but it turns frost white and steam coveres the intercooler when you hit the button for it. i think the temps get down to the negatives in the tube that suplies the stuff. i think it might be nx, nitrous xpress, i think the product is called the n-tercooler or something to that tune. heard good reviews from the wrx guys that used it, something like a 50hp boost on a very tuned car. works like nos with out blowing your engine.

CF brat, with a jdm STI engine and drivetrain. 17" rims, front, center and rear limited slip diffs. i need to stop drooling before i fry my computer.

i want the cross drilled slotted rotors and graphite pads, pity i can afford it, those would look so sweet on the rx.

id be down for the brakes and such, but im poor at the moment.

i think that most aftermarket springs are up ther around 4-500 pounds or so. at least the coil overs can be compressed, so to speak, by just winding em down all the way. that should make it really easy to install, first though, i need an inspection so i can get it tagged and on the road. once i get through inspection and emissions, i am going all out on the rx:D .

true, they are scary.

i wish, the car isnt registered yet, i dont have the gas money, and i dont have time due to school. i htink that you can buy the compressor for like $20 at most parts stores.
