Part 2: Lets Find One

[piscorpio]

Oh, and my vote goes for the coupe!

Hey another thought occurred to me just now, if we want to do this right, we must budget some of our spending money for one important thing.....dyno time. You have to figure without a dyno, its hard to tune the car to make it the ass kicking ride we want it to be. So how much does dyno time cost, and about how much should we figure our ride will need?

Come on....Where are all the hatch ppl???

[D16 V-TEC]

I vote hatch . Its close, cheap and has an incredible aftermarket, plus we can do a nice swap and turbo with the money left over .

[VTEC_boi]

Well...the EX is cheaper and 22 miles is pretty close.

Plus..we're guaranteed certain "creature comforts" with the EX (as well as VTEC wiring..making the swap easier).

As well as the fact that the EX has just as large of an aftermarket.


And cheaper leaving more money for a turbo and other mods.

hey Pete - losers own :-d

Ok, you win . If I could, I would probably change my vote to the EX.

[VTEC_boi]

hehehe....

Actually..if I was choosing the car for myself - I'd pick the hatch.

But..this is a game and I want to win

[OpticReflexion]

I feel the same way now. I would rather have the hatch for my own car, but you showed me the light... we must win!!

that 400 could get a nice exhaust or header, among various other very useful things, like a double stacked roof high aluminum wing j/k please don't hurt me...
