OH YEAH, I said it.

What stupid shirt? all my shirts are great!! lol
sorry you guys r right, i got confused it is a r32.
I have an 03 VW Jetta Gli and an 02 Kawi ZX9r...the bike is getting the forks cut right now and a 6 over arm. The jetta....i have no idea what im doing. I wanted to do some euro performance nerd thing, but i dont know anymore.
Tommy... If you are going to do a lift try to avoid a body lift. A lot of times it will weaken the vehicle overall. Do a suspension lift and if it is leaf springs use a combination of new springs and blocks to lift is. With coils you can do new springs and spacers. Then just cut the wheelwell if you need tire clearence. Plus if anyone is looking for some 32" Michelin MTA's I think with about 90% tread on them on wheels with a full size spare for about $500 let me know...
Hey dan you forget
<---------- automotive technician!!!

I know what to do and what not to do! I'm gonna try to get, about, a 4" suspension lift, and a 2" or 3" body lift. Nothing extreme but able to get over most curbs/civics that get in my way! j/k
lmao... forgot about that. Let me know when you want to go wheeling I'll see if you can tag along with some of the guys around here. A lot of the stuff some extra throttle will get you through.

My sentimence(sp?) exactly!!!
I figured I would chime in-
04 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP- given to me as a company car.
Company was acquired and now they are talking about either a Grand Prix GXP or a CTS as a company car.
Need a good reason not to use body lifts, look here

I don't own one and I am already used to that response. Out of curiosity though..... what other car can you get and have a turbo kit built up for for $2000 total?? Plus.... have it run high 12's low 13's?? Exactly. I think it is fine for a campus car. One of my buddys has a civic putting down over 350 at the wheels. He will help me with the turbo kit..... Big Grin

That is his car. One badass looking honda if you ask me. Now the one I plan on building won't be putting out as much power, or look quite as nice, but you get the idea.
Idk why, but the rims don't fit with the car imo.
Don't worry.... when I'm around him the only thing I see is the rear bumper anyway.
im sure ur coffee can muffler will sound super cool too, maybe like a blender on high?

:confused: I don't see a coffee can?? Czech, not all honda's are rice. If the mods done are strictly for performance, who cares? I have seen him smoke corvettes, supercharged mustangs, camaros on nitrous..... and all of that out of a 1.6 liter. Sounds like good engineering to me. Plus he gets 35 mpg. Try getting that out of a blown stang.
I drive the 2003 Honda Odyssey now, Wife has the 04 Nissan Murano SL 4wd.
But my favorite is our red 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 fastback coupe. It was bought brand new by her grandfather and now we are the caretakers. I drive it a few times a year, once a year in the LaGrange pet parade.

i saw that civic that your buddy has, well i saw it on chitown and was begging my parents to let me buy it. they were not for it. looks like i'll be getting a car for myself about christmas time or a little before that. im psyched. otherwise i drive my dads 2002 Volvo S80 T6, love that car.
Yeah. Kyle knows his stuff; exactly the reason I want his help building my cheap racer.
