I'm confused...??
 

Okay, lemme know your opinion.

My brother wants to trade cars, I want to but I dont know if I should. His car is really nice, it's a 91 Talon TSI, painted Nissan 350Z copper, black wheels, etc. Fully rebuilt motor, ported/clipped 16G, SMIC, SAFC, turboXS MBC.. he runs a mid 9 in the 1/8th mile on 17psi, but motors built for 30psi.

I have a 94 Honda civic coupe, needs new paint job. CF evo hood, cf trunk, body kit, 18" rims, JDM D15B vtec w/14B ported turbo, FMIC, HKS ssqv, STR comp fuel rail, 450cc injectors, new 2.5" exhaust, Projekteg ecu w/datalogging, motor has 3k miles. Pushin 11psi. I havn't ran mine on the track yet, but it runs pretty damn quick anywhere else!

Maybe i'm just holdin on to my car for sentimental reasons, i dunno, but what would you do?

Re: I'm confused...??
 

I would drive his car for a week before deciding. Either he's bored with his car or something is funny with it.
Next thing is I would race him to see which is faster :)

keep yours all day just get rid of the rice factor

Re: I'm confused...??
 

yeah tell him to trade for a week .... and he did all that work and hes still sporting the smic - SMALL mount intercooler ? in the long run his car has more potential though.. as with any car it just needs time and money.

Re: I'm confused...??
 

his car is faster and i think even awd. They both nice cars id take the talon just because its fac turbo and is the best bang for the buck import out there.... but dsm break down alot but im sure a honda with all that crap will also after time ::)

Re: I'm confused...??
 

tsi talons are awd. is the tranny stock? if it is be prepaired to spend a good chuck on change on it when it breaks. one of the guys i work with has a fully built talon, son of a bitch it's fast. don't know what it makes for power yet. he got boost happy with it while we were steet tuning it and he put a nice thumb sized grove in one of his pistons.

Re: I'm confused...??
 

Theres some good advice, just sell those damn 18"s and all the body kit crap and return the body to stock w/ some 15"s or 16"s. Then take the extra money you have and get a bigger turbo or paint it if thats more important to you. And tell that boy to stop running 17 psi on a SAFC, I didnt even know that was possible.

Re: I'm confused...??
 

everyone has a civ, get that talon sonn

Re: I'm confused...??
 

talon/eclipse turbos are fast but the parts are expensive,there a bitch to work on and break alot i used to own a 90 tsi fwd and selling it was the best thing that ever happend

Re: I'm confused...??
 

I mean he's your brother he shouldn't try to cheat you. I say take the talon. ;)

Re: I'm confused...??
 

+1

Re: I'm confused...??
 

keep the civic. your going to regret getting that talon. It might be faster but doesn't mean it won't last longer and cost more to maintain. At least you know what up with your car.

Re: I'm confused...??
 

yeah... I know my car really well. I've owned it for 2 years, and i've done everything to it. I know it like the back of my hand, i guess thats a problem getting a new car, i dont know much about it. I decided to keep the civic, But I need a hatchback. I want to tear down my coupe, and build a hatch/sleeper. I'm tired of the body kits and aggressive looks too, so if anyone can help me find a hatch or got one for sale, lmk! thanx for the input

Re: I'm confused...??
 

Something's not right with those times. My all motor GSR with a header and exhaust ran 9.8 1/8 mile and with 10psi ran an 8.6 With an AWD and 17psi he should be going alot faster than that.

Re: I'm confused...??
 

tell your brother what i tell everyone that has a dsm, SELL IT, SELL IT, lol, there ok cars, but they brake down, and 17psi on just stock fuel ---- and a safc is bad, thata what made my friends tsi have bad detanation problems, trust me there isnt enugh fuel getting in at 17psi on a 16g, highest id run would be like 14-15 maybe, tell him to get biger charge pipe, full exhaust 3" prefuable, fmic, 550cc injectors, some kind of upgraded mas and then trade him lol. my friend has a tsi awd with a 16g, 2.5" piping, fmic, safc, pocketlogger, 550s, 3" exhaust wth wpexi muffler, big evo 3 16g, 2 g dumptube and manifold,warbro fuel pump and i think thats it, at 18 psi and holy ----, its quiq, but thats only because it has suporting mods that just make it run better.
