the hood scoop is bolted, not glued.. at over 140mph i doubt glue would hold it that well.. and ill be getting a vented cf hood soon enough..

and joowan the way ive built mine up now is for the future.. the turbo accessories like the eboost 2, the drivetrain with a lsd and a clutch/flywheel that can hold over 400wtq, etc. with my current setup, i can get 325whp/wtq once i build my motor.. and thats about all i want in my lil 2800lb car. and if i want more, i can just upgrade the turbo at that point. but right now i have hardly any turbo lag. i hit 11psi at 2300rpms. but yeah 325whp/wtq would put me solidly into the low 12s, even with a horrible launch.. its awesome now having over 200wtq from 3k-6krpms.. cant imagine what itd be like having over 300wtq over the same rpms range..

So you dumped $24,000 into a $6,000 car to hit 13s and handle slightly better than a stock Ford Focus?

lol no ive dumped $24k into a car that was over $19k new, to hit 13s and handle much better than a stock focus, better than mustangs, sti's, evos, 350z's, rsx, integras, porsches, older vettes, srt4s, civics, s2ks, etc...

and unlike a lot of modded cars i see, like hondas, i still have nice features.. like 6 disc cd changer, power windows/locks/mirrors, power moonroof, cruise control, heated mirrors, traction control, tom tom gps, radar detector, sport bucket two tone seats, a/c, foglights, hid's, led taillights, short throw shifter, seating for 5, etc...
