I'm a bit jealous. Oh well... I've heard those things are hard to learn, especially in bad weather, hope he takes it slow. Nice ride, I agree with the gunmental.

Well of course I'm jealous too! :) He really lucked out in finding a nice car for such an awesome price. Hopefully I'll have the same kind of luck once I start car shopping for myself in a few months! :D The CRV is pretty nice, but it's more my parent's car. I just drive it. :) Can't wait to have a car of my own...

BTW - Yeah, gunmetal would definetly be my choice. But he might just keep the color... his new goal is 275rwhp (:ylsuper) with the same turbo. No time to "waste" money on paint!

If he gets some gunmetal rims for it, post some more pics of it!

Thank you for all your comments. I am very pleased with the car and am VERY glad I didn't waste my money on a honda. The CPO35's are growing on me and it will be sometime untill I replace them, if I ever do. I am now looking into an IC as well as fixing up the body a little. I hope your estimates are right, i'll post back with the actual power once I get to a dyno and tune. Then its to the track...damn I wish I didn't live so far away from everything.

My friend James has a 91' Mr2 turbo and it is quick. Even in stock form that car is bada$$.

I wouldn't mind one, but I'm stuck on my 240's... :)

Yeah, once spring rolls around (t-tops leak=no rain driving!) he's going to run the 1/4 and see how well his 2 performs. Although it would be his first time, so his reaction time won't be the best...

Well, luckily he hasn't experienced it yet! (knock on wood...)But then again, it might be good if he went to a track and learned exaclty what his limits are and at what point the snap-over comes in to effect...

I would recommend that for him.

Before I do my engine swap I plan on getting some track time to get a better understanding of how my car feels when it hits the limit and beyond. That way when I turbo the ole' girl I'll be starting all over again from scratch! :)
