First off, the car is front-wheel drive....which means that insane amounts of horsepower aren't very practical due to the nature of the car. Secondly, your car, for a smaller car, is pretty heavy...about 3300lbs,so you've got a lot going against you. If you really want to enjoy the car you have, beef up the suspension, do a few bolt ons, and add a good sound system and use your car as a daily driver/weekend autocrosser and save up for a better platform.

being all excited about your first car is all fine and well, but being stupid and throwing a bunch of money at something before you even know is anything about it is a whole other deal.

1. I do not own a honda anymore.
2. Does your car even run?
3. Go suck his dick if you want to, he is being stupid. He got a full answer to his question on the last thread he started.

Edit: Tell your mommy sorry if she looked over your shoulder and saw me curse...I did not mean it.

Just because he wants to turbo his RS doesn't make him stupid, there are many people who do it. While it may not be practical, and there are better ways to spend the money if he's looking for horsepower, but it's his decision. Personally, I wouldn't go in the high horsepower direction for his car...but then again I plan to turbo my Cavalier. Granted I'm not looking for incredible horsepower and I can get the entire thing done for about $1k compared to his $3k but to each his own.

K. You still owned one. See? People learn over time. Let him learn, the hard way if he must.

I guess its cool to be like "YUO IZ TeH fAYg0T!1 cxaNT tuRbo teh eCLIPSE rS (relly slow ROFL Git iT?!11)"

Who knows? I'm betting that he may in fact get the kit and have problems putting in on, eventually getting it to work but still just not running the same. You dont have to be an ass about it.

Refer to his previous thread, about him first recieving the car. It was stated plenty of times that the car COULD be modified with a turbo...but it would behove him to sell his car and get a GST/GSX. That is what I am referring to. Being 16 and your parents buying you a car...great
Comming on a message board...acting stupid and not listening....not so good.

hopefully, and most likely, he's not going to buy the kit, and he will realize that modding his car would be a waste of money, luckily i saw that before i did anything to my 4,600lb pile of steel. though a blower on that thing would be badass, since it already sounds like a freaking monster...but thats beside the point

Wow...touche! I will let this "thread" be on it's way. You two can give eachother back rubs. If he had any reading comprehension, he would have never made this thread.
