Nice. Always love to see someone who'd rather keep it on the track. Nice times, but with 23 psi, shouldn't you be running a bit faster than that? Any other mods?

I run a 16G Mitsu turbo ported and clipped, 2G exaust manifold w/ ported 02 sensor housing followed by a 3" turbo back stainless mandrel bend ATR exaust system (NO CATS!!). I have an In-car Hallmans manual boost controller. My fuel is ran threw a 195 lph Denso fuel pump with 550cc RC Injectors, managed by APEXi AFC. Balance shafts have been eliminated, TRE Transmission w/ stainless forks and double syncro 2nd gear, ACT 2100 lbs pressure plate and clutch disk. K&N bla bla and all the odds and ends with boost, air fuel, egt guages. Put down by 205/55R16 Dunlop FM-901's, 60' times of high 1.7's. All my track times are ran on 110 octane Turbo Blue race fuel, on the street, I put threw Sunoco 94... always... I pretty much have maxed out my 16G turbo, If I upgraded I could hit some low 12's easy, as well as keep in mind I am running my stock intercooling system, so a nice front mount would take me down a good 3-4 tenths as well. I dont want to get too crazy anyways, afterall, it still gets me to work every day.. not to mention, almost time to slap on the Blizzaks :D

Yeah, thought so. :) Didn't think you could run 12s on just a MBC. Nice sounding car - 1.7 60's are amazing! WRX guys are happy to be in the 1.8s usually.
 
Thanks alot, Im hoping to get some pics of it up pretty soon, I have an 8.5x12" of me staging next to the tree I should scan, and I can post a link of my first career 12 second run, I was glad my friend got that on tape, its pretty sweet. Thanks again for the feedback. Just so you know, I love WRX's too, If I couldnt have a Mitsubishi, Subi is my second choice ;)
 
right now i'm at college, so my car is sitting in the grass at home and im missing it:(
its a 90 civic hatchback, 1.5L SOHC four, 96hp, 4 spd manual. I've topped it out at 110--nothing impressive. The only mods are higher-speed rated michelins and a performance filter. But, thats enough to kill a lot of the poseur rice that prowls my town....someone rolls up with a disgusting body kit, fart can muffler, and seat so far reclined thay cant see out the windsheild. aint pimpin so much when i destroy you off the line, huh?
 
The only 'street race' I've even been in was with a TSi. I personally wouldn't mess with a modded one with my 'stock' WRX. This wasn't really a race, so much as a chase. ;)

He went out of a parking lot ahead of me, and cracked it open. I was off boost, so he pulled probably a dozen car lengths on me. Boost came on, and I caught him pretty quick. He ran out of horsepower at about 140, and I hit the aero wall then too. Fun...stupid, but fun.
 
I drive an 4th generation monte carlo i'd like to see either some 80's ss monte carlos or older ones like a 1970 with 454 those are so nice... i would so love like extremely love to see a 1969 GTO Judge I am acctually soon to aquire the new GTO when it comes out in a couple months.
 
The only time I have been able to race a WRX has been on the strip, and they were stock or lightly modded so it wasnt much of a race. The best is when you get a cocky know-all domestic V8 guy who is looking over at you in stage laughing. Than I drive away laughing with the white time slip in my hand :cool:
 
i don't mean to be rude.. but its gonna be... 110 hp... my car has probably 200 stock.. i can buy a 88 monte ss for cheap with over 600 and its in allmost perfect condition.. bud.. you want a V8 i know gas can be expensive.. but come on.. you wanna race an old guy in a muscle car.. get something tourqy
 
haha I knew I was going to get under somebody's skin with that comment. the 90-92 TSi's and GSX's put down 222hp. Dont get me wrong, there are some V8's that can still run the quarter pretty quick. But the thing is as to what Ive seen, its more expensive to get a V8 to go as fast, and is alot less streetable. My remark was off a personal experiance against a stock Saleen. Im cool with older muscle, but this new stuff is crap. And you couldn't pay me to drive a V8 :D

Maybe in some form. Not stock.

Throughout its entire history, the Eagle Talon TSi AWD (90-94) had a 195-horsepower turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder. Between 1995 and 1998, the horsepower was upped to 215 - too bad the car's not as good-looking as the original.

While the 1G DSM's are nifty, the 2G DSM's are wicked...only in Turbo form though. The N/A cars are factory rice. They look a lot faster than they are. :lol:
 
I wasn't talkin about your TSI i was talkin about the lil civic the other guy has.. but he is right turbos are pretty sweet.. I mean i would love to own an 80s buick grand national... but also i would love to own a 69 GTO Judge with a 400 big block... i just like the looks and power more.. but thats what i grew up on.. i'm not knocking imports cuz i like a few myself.. i love em for handling purposes.. most realistically they need alot before they can compete with most v8s.. I am going to be purchasing a brand spankin new 2004 GTO they have an all alluminun 350 pushing 350hp and 360 ft lbs of torque, they also do 0-60mph in 5 seconds, i pursonally think if they get more of the style back in the gms they will be the new muscle cars... i love the old gtos and trans-am but i need a new car to get around in, otherwise i'd get a 69 judge

The 2G's suck so bad, they are for the rice boys. 7 bolt engines, smaller rods, heavier, less boost, smaller and ****tier turbo's, a mechanics nightmare, cost more to get faster, and need I say "crank walk". The 1G's have the power, but you can get any body kit you want for the 2G and 3G :lol:

Im talking about the 3 generations of the DSM's, Im kinda clueless to where the GN came in. :odd:

There are only 2 generations of DSM's. The second gens kind of count, but those new things don't count.:)
 
my ride, at the moment, looks something like this, but has a better head set, and better forks(suspension)!:( :( :(
