I respect the accomplishment as well. I was just stating that the 2g was more well rounded. If it were a best mod competition then silvercoupe would win. But by that scoring silvercoupe would also win against the 1g and EVO engine bays pictured in this thread.

It will be interesting to see how the voting end up.

Good luck guys.

 

Um, didn't you spend extra effort to put the engine and drivetrain into a heavier car?

JJ

 

I got Your back Sebba....Just love the 2g's

 

Damn didn't make the vote again this month... Maybe after I get the new stuff on the car and she's running again...

 

lol im whoopin his ***

 

True, my car isn't that much heavier, it's only 50-75lbs heavier. She'll always be that heavy over any 2G, but weight isn't always a factor if the HP and tuning is properly adjusted It's not about how much money you spend, but what you spend the money on that is important in relative terms. To me, it's not about being a dyno queen, it's about the 1/4 mile time or how fast I can bolt out of a curve.
Instead of cleaning the engine bay, I do boost leak checks, make sure I don't have fuel coming out of the injectors or anywhere else, check my suspension, etc. I do have pride in my car, I would just rather shine running down the track than sitting on a lot for people to view

 

You should have pride in your car. That is a hell of alot of work.

 

What sucks is that I got over 20 grand into my ride (with all the receipts and invoices) with no sponsors, no help from mommy and daddy, nothing given to me plus I bought the car bone stock so EVERYTHING I have done to the car has been ON MY OWN so I take a lot of pride in that and not a lot of people take the time to see the little things. I haven't just stuck to one region of the vehicle. I've done a little to the exterior, a little to the interior, and a little to the motor and for me, I believe that is the right direction in modding MY ride. I like the little bit of show with the little bit of go but I don't race it either because it's an expensive hobby and I believe in saving the equipment (LOL).

 

where the **** did that 20k go?

 

IMO I think your ride height throws off the look of your car. Throw on some Eibach springs and some Tokiko blues and I think you would have a better response.
