Cars for me

[05Tib]

alright so the Tib got Wrecked a month ago and its finally fixed and through the shop jacking up my Carbon Fiber hood i get to get a new OEM hood and painted to match the car so it will all be looking stock. I have sold all the parts and returned the rest to stock now. I want something else, something faster, something bigger and a lil better MPG for me to trade my Tiburon in on. Here are the stats on the Tib;

-Magazine times list the Tiburon at 15.7 1/4 miles but people have gotten 15.2
-With Intake, Intake Manifolds, headers, exhaust and a tune i was only getting 181 whp and would only get me to around 14.5 BEST 1/4 mile times
-Only getting around 15.5-16.5 mpg

Any suggestions? I cant think of much more than the Evo, STi, and SRT4

WRX

is there much diffrence in the WRX TR and WRX Sedan? how are they performance wise out both engine and suspension? my insurance would be to high for the STi

yeah that plus the cost of the 04 Sti that i looked at pushed me towards the Wrx ;) you really can't go wrong in either platform.......just depends on how u would feel pushing the mafia wagon :yes: all i can say is take the *test* on both.

come to the SRT4 meet on march 3rd(next Sat) at 1:00 at the varsity in downtown and i'll take u for a ride.

the next day u will be out looking for neons, thats a promise.

werd^^ neons are cheap (considerably), good gas mileage, fast, easy to mod and make faster, stylish ect.

wrx isnt a bad choice either but a lil more pricy.

u can get the bugeyes for about the same price as a neon but its costs ALOT more to make power out of them.

example.

me stock turbo (tdo4 which is basically a 14g) vs a 18G bugeye
i won
he won
i won
he won

thats how it went but i have alot smaller turbo

[Halfwit]

i was on your side and your still arguing? WOWZERS.

my vote is on srt-4 jsut dont wheel hop, i mean launch...

[Siverprobegt]

srt-4 is the way to go.wrx cost more to mod,and the tranmission don't like more than 300hp.There are many 350-500hp srt-4 riding around,on the stock motor.

you know how I feel Jeremy having traded my Tib in for one... :goodjob:

[boostboy97]

FWD=FTL imo

I love how that entire post is abbreviated. :no:

Chad's right, first time you drive an SRT-4, you love it.

[05Tib]

guess i just need to go drive one. my biggest thing is how i fit, i am 6'5" and 250 lbs. yes i did fit in the tib, not well but i fit. i would like something more with more comfort where im not banging my head on the ceiling all the time. what do u suggest for an used srt4 milege wise? try and get under 20k or 30k?

[05Tib]

guess and the other factor that comes into this is i only owe $7,900 on my car that has only 34k miles on it. If i keep it i can use the diminsh value and pain and suffering money i get from the insurance company to pay on the principal of the loan and then i get another $535 from the body shop for scratching my CF hood. I could have my car paid off most likely by christmas time and then just go buy a SC kit and run about 3 psi (headers will decrease it from 5 psi it runs on a stock tib) and make around 250 or more whp. I still have my Dc headers and exhaust and my CF hood on the car. Just would need the SC kit, motor mounts and SRI. U dont even have to tune this kit, even though i still would eventually

I drove the new 07 Tiburon.. I was actually impressed for what it is.. Only thing I didnt like was how cheap everything felt. (oxymoron) lol

Pay your car off.. then traded it in... If you can pay it off in a year, I would chill till then

[05Tib]

the 07's have a little better suspension design that the previous yrs but not much else has changed except outside inside styling. Engine and tranny are the same but i just dont like the looks of the 07 Tib

[Siverprobegt]

Pay it off,then put a supercharger on ,with about 7-8psi :D

yawn!!!!! lol sup bro.......where u been at?

this is probably wat i will do. all the parts i did have and have sold i cant use with a SC anyways. I kept the headers on the car, ill probably only run somewhere between 3-5 psi. it is my daily driver and a Hyundai at that. Dont want to spend the money to make the motor ready to run 8 psi daily driven...
