    Default Bolt-on or boost??

    As im starting to pour more money into my car, im wondering whether or not i should keep going with my bolt-ons, I/H/E...or, if i should begin collecting parts so that i can boost my car?? As of now, i am somewhat satisfied with my car's power level, but at times, i would like to have MORE...i think you all know what im talking about....i want to explore and push the boundaries to see what all my car can do...

    So, as i continue, should i begin the process of boosting the car or continue with bolt-ons?

    *and NO this is NOT a stupid question....!!! (TRYMY4.0.....) *

    It really is a stupid question. If you want more power, boost is the way to go bar none. I mean, yes, you CAN make NA power, but it's more cost efficient and less labor/parts intensive to go boost.

    actually..yea. People have looked and nearly broken there neck starring at my car. I take that as a huge compliment b/c it IS just a plain 'ol v6. I've had people hold up signs through their windows saying "nice car". sorry for what? you think your putting me down by saying it's a v6? lol. try again next time and try to be more original.

    Why is he an idiot or a ******? Because he has a Sunfire? That's ignorant shiit right there man. Since you got your "mod" position, you act like you're some kind of Master of the Domain on IA. Who the hail are you to call someone an idiot or fag because of what they drive? Because he doesn't have a "fast" Mustang or a drifting 240 or, God knows, a fuccing Civic? Did you ever stop to think that maybe the fact that he might not have ever heard someone say, "WOW. check out that sunfire?!" would be the reason he wants to keep it and make the best he can with it? That's awesome reasoning for me. Later, QD.

    Bolt-on then boost. Obviously, make sure your bolt-ons will be relevant still when you boost.

    Well, thing is, i dont really care about if OTHER people wanna ''check out'' my car...Actually, i would almost prefer if people WERENT into checkin out my car, cuz sometimes I would think you'd get the vibes that they wanna try jackin your stuff...plus, i just care about how it drives....How much power i can make, and how much fun i can have while im on the road...Plus, if i have that car and pour a bunch of money into it, and actually make it FAST(?) well, nobody will ever in a million years expect it.

    And, trymy4.0, im 15+2...17.

    So basically, continue with bolt-ons, AND boost? My main confusion was about the exaust situation..Whether i should get a turbo manifold or if i should just get a regular header? Because, if im going to be collecting turbo parts, then it would be pointless to get a regular header.

    Rule #1: Don't piss on the mods.

    Rule #2: Don't tell mod you pissed on that you lied and are younger than the forums minimum age limit.

    Rule #3: Don't be upset if you make idiot mistakes.

    He'll be back though with a different name I bet. Not that it'll be hard to find him when he's back. I bet he's driving the sunfire because it's Mom's old car she gave to him and he doesn't own it so he can't get rid of it.

    You can check my ID while I buy you a drink, how's that sound?

    To the guys making fun of 4.0's mustang: Seriously. Do you know what he has under his hood? No? Then I'd bet you'd be surprised. Besides, 4.0's 'stang isn't exactly stock.


    And I find it hard to believe that even a boosted honda would be a new body style GT 'stang.

    QD-i say he is an idiot b/c SO many thread i have helped him and gave him GOOD advice on what he should do. So have MANY others. But he does not listen. he makes multiple posts/threads on stupid questions that everyone has answered. If he doesnt want to use anyones info/advice then why keep posting? thats why i find him an idiot.

    I realize all that. I have noticed that about him as well. But you specifically slammed him for having and wanting to modify a Saturn. Later, QD.

    But like I said, who are you to tell him what to do or not to do with it? If I listened to shiity advice like that, I would never had fixed up and raced my Neon. I think it's great he wants to modify something that not everyone sees 1,000 times a day. If he wants to do both, let him. Later, QD.
