yes that is what they stand for. you have a base model so yours if FWD. the base and the SL are FWD, the VR4 is AWD. a fun way to prove this to yourself and fuck stuff up at the same time would be to drop the clutch at around 5000 RPM's and watch your front tires smoke. that doesnt happen on AWD vehicles.

about that paint i dunno about that particulr brand but people do use spray tint to black out their headlights, so. . .

My car is automatic... =[ yes i suck! ha.
I have another question i know what a waiste gate does by why spend money and get a waistegate and a BOV for a car when they pretty much do the same thing...no?a blow off valve blows air out if theres to much and a wastegate acts as a door only allowing a given amount of exhaust to hit the turbocharger's exhaust turbine.

The BOV is on the compressor side and the Wastegate is on the exhaust side. They have separate jobs from each other... Why are you worried about it anyways if you have a base model? Base models aren't turbocharged...

You need to do some reading up on turbo systems if you are wanting to learn about them. There are several components you need to have in the system and you need to understand how they all work too.

If you want to learn more about the turbo systems just google, "how it works turbo systems" and you will find plenty of links showing just how they work with pictures. Other than that I wouldn't be too concerned for the time being as you don't have to deal with them as your car is n/a as was stated before.

If you want a WEALTH of knowledge go read www.stealth316.com

Jeff L is the man and his site is awesome.

why do you even wanna modify an automatic? everyone will laugh at you

Stealthee · #8 07-15-2009, 01:05 AM

There is nothing wrong with modifying an ATX, just dont expect huge gains.

Tell hotshot that ATX 3S's aren't worth modding. He is far faster than anyone who posts on here regularly. He would put countless bus lengths on my VR4.

i have no idea who that is, but i didnt say there is anything wrong with it, i just said people would laugh. and they will. or maybe texans are nicer than the california/hawaii crowd

Stealthee · #11 07-15-2009, 03:05 AM

And people are morons. I could give a rats ass what people think. You mod what you have. I have a SOHC and I mod that. Some of the same people laughing, would get smoked by my car.

vr4choke · #12 07-15-2009, 03:36 AM

haha that reminds me of the guy with the v6 pushrod telling sl300gt that his vr4 is old technology
