those would be nice, especially the twin turbo....wooo, i seen one on tv with a twin turbo setup. 700+ hp.

This is the next thing for my truck. AFE Stage 2 Pro-GUARD 7 Type XP Air Intake System - AFE75-11342

Only problem with upping the hp comes the increased torque, which in turns kills the torque converters. A good converter that will withstand large gains will cost me between $1300 and $2500, not including installation. That is why I can't run my truck on Extreme mode, up to 120 hp increase. I keep it in Performance mode which is up to 75 hp increase. You can tell thats for sure.

I was at Rice Village and seen a nice fuji coupe si, with his factory tail pipe bent up. I guess those driveways over there killed it....

Coop · 06-21-2008, 11:56 PM

haha, I might be able to swing that. However, dont really know about me driving in a cruise....f*ckin fuel is outrageous. Went to galveston again today, another $60 down the drain. Ridiculous.

HTX · 06-22-2008, 12:00 AM

no offense but i dont know why anyone would buy a deisel vehical right now. I would try anything to avoid it but its really needed then u gotta do what u gotta do...

Coop · 06-22-2008, 12:18 AM

Yea I do need it. I put a lot of miles on a vehicle going back and forth to work and a normal gasser wouldn't be able to last as long. Plus with all my gear, it was a pain in the ass trying to get it in and out of my car. Besides, I will only be spending about $100-$125 more a month on fuel than what I would be on the civic si, and I have A LOT more room. I miss the si, but I also like being able to do anything without worrying about messing up my interior, or renting a truck to haul materials for the house, or be able to go anywhere, or ..... Plus my dogs love being able to ride in the back. Never seen dogs get sooo excited just to ride in the bed of a truck. My female runs straight to the back of the truck if she is let out in the front yard. Only thing is, she cant jump high enough to get in, haha.

Coop · 06-22-2008, 12:21 AM

Oh, looks like I will be selling my 12" Punch P3 Dual Voice Coil Sub and Ported box. If anyone is interested, pm me an offer. I am going to list it on a couple of sites for sale. I have to down size for my truck.

HTX · 06-22-2008, 12:24 AM

have to drive around in a F-450 at work and i hate that damn thing. lol More fuels stops and the exhaust fumes are killer.

Coop · 06-22-2008, 12:31 AM

haha, yea thats a little more heavier duty than mine. I have a 36 gallon tank and on highway I get 20-22 mpg depending on how I drive. Hell I guess I could probably get 13 mpg on highway if I really drive the piss out of it. Fumes on mine arent bad at all. If I get on it though, it rolls black smoke like crazy, but that is because of the programming. I bet that 450 only gets around 10 mpg....

HTX · 06-22-2008, 12:59 AM

yeah it just sux ass to drive lol. Its manual and shifts like complete shit. Makes me miss my car all the time.

Coop · 06-23-2008, 01:55 AM

oh, i forgot, i have a new 6 spd skunk2 knob too.

brooklyngenius · 06-23-2008, 11:17 AM

Coop · 06-23-2008, 04:55 PM

nope I actually did some upgrading. sold the Tein Basics yesterday. Selling the Apexi WS2. replaced with Buddy Club N+ coilovers and Skunk2 Megapower R exhaust. The car potentially could be finished this year. Getting my bride interior done, Custom trunk, and undercarriage done in the next 2 weeks. so it'll be mostly just motorwork from here on out.
