Re: Gray turbo civic hatch?
Thanks, I'd say it's a sleeper, but the blower is way too loud, you can hear it coming from like three blocks away 
Yeah, I read it, 5 posts a day for the first 30 days. I just think it's a lil extreme. I could see restricting certain things like attachments and sigs and whatnot, but this is the first board I've been on that limited your posting for 30 days. Not saying it's your fault or that you have any control over it, it's just annoying.

So become a patron.

Ive seen him, if its a turbo B20, at the usual 7 psi, then its probably putting down 190-200 whp, not slow in a hatch, as the sarcastic license plate would make you think lol..

I like this guy! He talks in complete sentences, makes post that everyone can understand.. and has what seems to be a pretty sick truck!
Glad to have you around in Western! We need more activity in here..
What kind of gas mileage does that tank get? My dad actually has a Dakota like that to haul stuff around in, and it gets better gas mileage than my car, but not much. I wonder what it's like on gas supercharged.

Re: Gray turbo civic hatch?
It's not stock internally, but not built either, I'm running a Mopar replacement shortblock, it's .020 over with a very mild cam, but still hyper pistons. I took out a couple pistons in the stock shortblock and didn't have the money for forged at the time, so I went with the Mopar shortblock, it's a decent piece, but I'm hoping to do a built shortblock with a real cam this winter. I dyno'd in March and put down 592rwhp 547rwtq, boost gauge said 18psi, but I've never seen more than 15psi on the street. It's gone a best of 11.3@120 last year, with me lifting on the topend (that was the start of my fuel issues), that was a 7.2@96 1/8th mile (only having 1/8th mile around here is gonna take some getting used to LOL). Once I get enough fuel in her, I think she'll run low 11's, maybe even crack a high 10 with really good weather (there I go again, I guess I should say low 7's, maybe crack a 6.9? hehe). I've got all the boltons, 58mm tb, 4bbl intake, 1.7 rr's, 2.02 heads, big tube headers, 2.5" true duals (upgrading to 3" soon), built tranny w/2800 stall (upgrading to a 3800 soon), stock rearend (upgrading to a Detroit locker soon). Oh, and all that stuff and some other pics are on my cardomain site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/389135/1

Thanks, I don't know much about the car scene around here, so I figured this might be a good place to start. I go to Fast Freddy's every once in a while, and I know people cruise Williamson (altho, I did that in high school, not sure if I'm ready for that again LOL). If I can keep my foot out of it, I've gotten almost 18mpg on the highway (17.75 to be exact), altho it's hard to keep my foot out of it, so I usually average around 13-14 on most trips. I don't even calculate it around town, it's too depressing LOL
Ok, more pics:
