Re: New to the VA car scene. help!
My t-bird was just a car that i found when i moved down here i used to have a 93 fox with a 2.3 turbo swap. And i dont thing turbo civics are show just didnt want to offend anyone by using the word ricer. I like turbo and supercharged civics as long as they are done the right way.
Im not, never will be.
Wow im only 18 but have been going to the drag tracks and autocross events, and racing gocats, since i was 10 not saying its been that long but yea its been a while. You call my t-bird slow but a supercharged v6 rated 210hp/315tq in stock form (which mine isn't) in 1990 is slow? Even new 350z's , evos, sti's and mustangs dont come with the sane torque #'s. What sacale do you use here in VA? Before i came here i had a foxbody 2.3 turbo that i had started to build for drag events until i moved.
And not to burst your bubble but V8 t-birds are slower then the supercharged v6 ones.
Im just into odd cars. Ones you wouldnt look twice at unless you knew something about them already. Just looking for something diffrent, didnt know you were so quick to flame somebody here. You seemed like such nice people.

It can't be that long, you're only 18.
We're glad you like cars, but what does a '90 T-Bird have to do with performance cars?
Turbo Civics are much more of a performance car than your T-Bird ever was, sorry to burst your bubble. That is, unless you have a V8 in your T-Bird, and then you'd just be missing the handling part of a performance car. Oh, and the weight. But..Civics are still a better car.

You should jump back into the 2.3T world and forget about the 3.8 world.
This comming from a guy who had the "quickest" SC in the area two years ago. I had a 89, titanium, 5 speed.
Had a ported blower, raised top, gears, full 3" exaust, pulley, 75 shot, tweecer r/t (im sure im forgetting more)
But in the end it was still slow and heavy. Finally got a tiny bit smarter and moved into a foxbody .... and now looking back I shake my head anytime I think about why I tried to make one of those things quick. Dont get me wrong mine would pull pretty hard on the interstate .
What all is done to your SC
The SC crowd in Hampton Roads is a bunch of weird old guys .... it made me hate having one. You can find them out at Jenros on Sats about 4.
Like mentioned before .... most of the big boys hang out on the Pennisula now ... so I usually tend to venture up that way. I love Freedom ... its definatly comical, and there are still alot of nice cars that go there .... but theres always retarded things happening ... and no one really races.
Fabrik8 - Not that the SC's are impressive by any means .... but they do come with IRS, forged bottom end, electronic dampners .... and dont really handle to horribly stock. As opposed to the V8 Models ... which just suck all around.
