You guys crack me up. Mookie, Kolat owns you dood. DSM>Acura

BTW Ted. 323is only 3 series with Aluminum block, higher compression. Its definitely BMW's best kept secret. I own 325's and 328's even with a passenger. I havent raced a 330 but im sure they'd put the smack down. :D

bwahhahahah. look at all the tuner tin foil. Is that like a 1.8 liter? The dsm with 6k into the car purchase and all the mods will kill your little honda turbo kit. A fwd honda is not in the same class as a awd turbo from the factory dsm. Bottom line. You'll be spooling your little turbo trying to get your tires to hook up while the dsm is spinning all four going into second.

lol. seriously though a stock dsm breaks into the 14's in stock form. And for less than 3,000 bucks a full turbo kit exhaust injectors and safcII you are in the 11's. No car I know of can touch that.

I'm well aware of what DSM's and hondas can do.

Test drove a 98 GSX before I bought the mustang, only reason I didnt get it was they wanted like 9k for a salvage title. But it also had a FMIC, greddy coldside piping, boost controller, and a couple of other things. Thing was fast as hell.

Dollar for Dollar, my moneys on the DSM + AWD>FWD any day.

Dude your posting links of shit you don't even have, if your gonna pose then at least use pics that are'nt watermarked.

6k for your turbo kit? haha, that's more than double what I have into my dsm including purchase price.

:( alright mookie. Toda makes tons of parts for the 4g63... Until you know wtf you are talking about STFU.

It's not like since they make honda parts they are some amazing company.

I don't think I would want any parts on my dsm that could be mis-read as being from TOAD. HK$ 272's are fine with me. I'm fine with having performance for cheap, rather spend my money on going fast than buying a car that I'm just gonna tear the engine out of because the stock one is a pos.

Back when i had a 98 GSR, it probably had about 210HP or so...i smashed on a lot of cars

Now that i have RSX, stock 210 HP, it will beat the 1.8T GTi or the VR6, Nissan Sentra se-r or just about any other car in its class
I dunno, I've seen some quick 240's/Silvias.
