Re: TITANIUM, help a mofo out plz

I'm just gonna say... nobody, including you, is gonna like flip out because you "went big" on your titanium exhaust...

Save the enthusiasm/determination for something that will net you more than ~3whp.

**Remember- Its just an exhaust.**

Just to put things in perspective, $750 could easily get you a T3/T04E or a set of Crower rods.

Re: TITANIUM, help a mofo out plz

Yeah, 750$ could get you a set of rods, but it couldn't install them for you.

Re: TITANIUM, help a mofo out plz

Good thing I don't need anyone to install them.

It could also get you a GroundZero manifold...

Re: TITANIUM, help a mofo out plz

Extending them out 4cm is gonna wreck your handling properties.

Re: TITANIUM, help a mofo out plz

You need tools to install them, and new parts like gaskets and u need to deck and clean aprts, all that costs money, doing the work urself doesnt make it free, just makes it cheaper.

Re: TITANIUM, help a mofo out plz

i know what i could get.....shit i could get a fully built motor as of right now....

My car is janky boys listen to what i say. It needs suspension, the ride is horrible. I dont give a crap if no-one flips out over my titanium...its not meant for them its meant for me. I want what i want. I could also save money and put in an sr too and say im done with it.....but am i? no.... I could just buy a piece of pipe and go straight pipe which would be waaaaaaaaay cheaper than anything anyone has said but am i? no.......

trust me my engine will get done when i feel the car isnt going to fall apart driving. Dont worry about what i decide to buy first. Id rather have a clean ass ride than a fast, clunky, shity, pos, that looks as if it just rolled out of iraq. I will take detailed before and after pics to show the damage....it needs tender loving care.

I could also buy a shitty comaro and put supporting mods to it and blow any 240 on here...and most anywhere away and that would be way cheaper.....but am i no...... Its not all about being fast......its about being fast with a clean style.

Re: TITANIUM, help a mofo out plz

God..if I had a few more people to clear up the most obvious shit in the world, scenes how I have no idea what is involved in putting a set of spark plugs on my car, I would be just dandy...

i am lol. it just takes time. My body is basically taken care of....i just need to wait for parts and do the work(im in st.louis and its a bit cold out, wish i was in the florida weather you have). My suspension setup will be pretty mediocre i would say, nothing to major as of yet. The parts are pretty cheap. Since i already have coils it makes it that much easier cuz thats another grand i dont have to spend. Im pretty sure ill be able to get my ka-t this year. JUST BARE WITH ME. no-one has driven my car on here, if they did they would understand. 300 hp would just help destroy it more lol. It is falling apart. Needs minor shit. I want to replace alot of bushings and shit cuz im getting the clunk. I need to take care/replace shit before i do some big engine upgrades. Im sure the torque wouldnt help out what is already bad/ going bad. My exhaust is leaky and i dont like the stupid aftermarket aerospeed muffler the previous owner put on.


And thanks RW for the quote.....i get paid wednesday. So i will most likely just be ordering the exhaust sometime this week....cuz i only have a grand limit on my credit card. And im pretty sure i already have like 60-80 bucks charged on there. ANd i want it on this up coming bill so i can pay it off, and buy a couple suspension pieces for next months bill.

thats exactly how i feel about people telling me what i could save on this and spend on that.....im 20, i have my life to save and spend on this car. I will never get rid of it. Seriously i cant see myself driving any other car (as far as sport/project/fun). Except for like a fd rx or supra....but those as we know are rare and expensive. I know what i could save....but why save when i dont have too??? Iv got a steady flow of money. Im good on the saving part....i save save save just for this reason. This is the big year i want to spend on my car, then depending on how far along i get, i may save up for house or move out into an apartment. Those bills would eat my "modding" money up right now, so thats why i dont do it now. Plus my parents are pretty leniant(sp) so i really have no need to move out yet.

and i hope that wasnt a poke at me that you stated? I know how to change plugs lol.

Yeah, i was gonna ask about that. He said that RW is gonna fuck your handling, when he prolly knows the most of any of us about suspension and handeling.
