I think maybe Talon ESi took all the projected gains from his mods and added them together to get those numbers.

Side Effects, eh? Is that why i have that slight uncomforting urge to by Type S badges every once in a while? Maybe it IS time to get rid of the Spyder and upgrade...

quit doggin on the NT's......atleast it is a DSM and not a damn civic but yea i do get where ur comein from about sellin the nt and geting a turbo but some people dont know the diffrence before they buy the car and are stuck and just dont wana sell theres but still make it fast

like me for example i payed 4,900 for the car and since ive put in a new clutch tranny both front wheel barrins and about to put in a new motor because i blew a rod yea i would sell it and get a turbo but hell i gota take the motor and everything out anyways why not just go ahead and turbo it while everythings out but only reason i even say that is because ive already put 2,100 in the car after payin 4,900 for it and i wouldnt be able to get my money back out of it if i sold it so im just gana stick with the 420 trubo'd :-D im just gana make sure i do it right

Re: maxing out an eclipse

the fact that you already lost money in the car doesnt mean you need to lose more. lol for a mostly street/show car that isn't going to be real fast the 420a is fien but if you want more bang for your buck just cut your loses and buy a turbo

LMAO, This is true, you start modding that crap and there is no chance to keep up, best bet is just to get a turbo car now before your in too deep with the one you have.

Sounds like a nice setup! It'll be awesome to have another turbo-420a around here . Keep us updated with everything, and good luck with all of it!
