This is true. Who puts 10 grand into a car and has no idea what it does or how to drive it?
I bet it's not even an evo. The sales guy probably sold her a Ralliart with "EVOLUTION" written on the windshield and she fell for it.
She'd better have some big boobs or something to make up for her lack of a brain.
I doubt it.
She is probably ugly too.
Man that'd be a letdown.
Probably so. At least I can drive, LOL.
Hahaha, I'm going to bed. Have fun tomorrow, neighbor.
^agreed. if she can only muster a low 13 or high 12s out of those mods she doesnt even need a performance car.
it doesnt matter if you got 700whp if you cant drive your not gonna run 10or 11 sec simple as that running on the street is alot diff... from the track who knows maybe she can drive maybe not but if she can a lot of people feelins are gonna be hurt at the track and on the street we tuned her bf car and its runnin 13.3 on motorQuote:

By the way, who recommended the XS Power EBay products to her? Not that I'm talking bad about them... just not everyday you see an Evo compiled together by almost all EBay parts...
Oh, and my offer of my pump gas stock turbo vs your race gas upgraded turbo run still stands. =]

Just curious, which specific turbo are you planning to use on her car, and what size compressor and exhaust housings? ... and are you going to use an adapter plate to mate it with the stock manifold?
I wish you luck on the car, stop taking things I say so personally... let me know when the car's done so we can have some fun. ^.^
i tihnk he mentioned an XS exhaust mani. but i just dont see why go with a t3/t4.
yes we are using a xs mani.. as far as the t3/t4 it was something i went over with my boss we both like the mid range where it spools at i just wanna say this thread is all off topic everyone should be happy for the girl that she actualy wants to learn something about cars who gives a damn if she even knows her car is awd most females are like on no car i may break a nail if i touch it i have seen the car i ordered the parts the car will be at my shop when it gets outta paint if no one has anything good to say to this girl the admins need to go ahead and lock this fuckin thread some have nothing better to do than stay on the net all day and talk shit and find things wrong with peoples post GET A LIFE alot know me personaly on here and im sure alot know my boss Omar the owner of WheelsDirect so if you wanna question me please feel free to call meQuote:

Still haven't answered the specifics of the turbo... like which t3/t4 you're going with, what size compressor / exhaust housings, etc. Internal or External wastegate? Honestly... I've only seen a few setups like these, and they all turn out with results less than what a stock 16g would put out... just giving friendly words. I would hate for this poor girl to invest in all these parts without knowing what to expect.
Also, what is she building the car for? Auto-x / Road-racing? It seems the stock turbo or a modified version of the stock turbo gives the best "mid-range" outta any other turbo on the Evo...
By the way, a girl wanting to learn about cars is cool and all... but it's not something new and not something she deserves a free cookie for. There's plenty of girls, especially locally, with quick rides and quick driving skills...
Now... if she posts pics of herself, I may have a box of cookies to give away. =]
this thread is not about wheelsdirectracer it is my thread if you want to know something about my car ask me
but he's the one that knows WHY u r getting all the parts. u kust know what u are getting. or i fu want can u tell me exactly what trim turbo and why u chose a t3/t4? i would have gone for a gt series.
hey now i picked a t3 turbo for my car lol a.r .48 :DQuote:

naw its not bad. i am am buying a 50 trim t3/to4e lol
Different turbos run differently on different cars... the GT-series turbos have been pruven to produce amazing top-end power where as other turbos have been less sucessful than stock turbos... and the t3/t4 is one of those.
The phrase "t3/t4" seems to be VERY common so I'm wondering if EvoChick is just getting one or recommended to get one because its the popular turbo for other cars...
man, this thread went ugly fast.
Hope your Evo turns out as you would want, Evochick18. It's your money and it's your car after all.
There are a lot of resource on Evolutionm.net for you to research on Evolutions.
t3/t4, which trim is that?
gt30's are very ideal for Evo's on driveability as well as power. That would be my recommendation.
Especially GT3076R. :)
it starts to spool at about 2500 and full spool is like 4000 like i said earlier if you question me then fuck you pal like i said we been here for 8 yrs and we are not going anywhere :321:
dude chill out
Yep. The stock turbo has a lot of potential in it but a cheap t3/t4 wont be worth it. Last I heard the XS power turbos compressor housing cracked.Quote:

Boy, this thread is not pretty. I hope this chick does get what she wants as it seems she is spending a ton of freaking money. I know what BG could have done w/ that amount of money and I hope she is satisfied. I am not knocking Wheels Direct at all, I don't know any of their work, for all I know they are building bad ass high horsepower cars all the time. Good luck on your car evochick and I hope that the 18 is not your age.
^agreed on the age. daddy shoulda put that money where it counts. back in his pocket
Hmmm... if you have a problem with people asking you questions... you have problems yourself. Sure you may have your own shop and blah blah blah... but I don't see how that dignifies you to be immune to questions or opinions of others. Do you treat your customers like this... and tell them to fuck off when they ask you questions about what you recommend and why?Quote:

Ohhh Ownage!! +1 for HiPSiQuote:
