Returnless Fuel System = Teh Gh3Y. I would rock a tC though, I like the looks of that, and its very close to a Celica, and you know what that means....

We need some variety here. Looking at Hondas all day kinda sucks. I;ve love to start seeing some different cars in here with big crazy snails or even a shady junkyard kit. Just need something different....

BTW, I like the Scions. :P

Since the fuel system is a returnless setup, some options are: a digital fmu which controls the signal to the fuel pump, greddy emanage, and aem ems.

Amen to that. I'm ready to sell my Civic cause I'm sick of looking at nothing but Honda's :-\ Hopefully HMT V2 will have more variety and stupid noobs won't tell people to "sell it and buy a Honda" ::)

i wouldnt turbo a scion. to me they look pretty top heavy. take a right turn at like 35mph, and oops the car is on its side. plus the front end isnt very dynamic since its practically straight up, thats gotta be TONS of air resistance. but its ok for a daily driver. i think it looks more like a boot itself than a shoe box

I don't think its top heavy.. but I personally would turbo anything that could be turboed, I'd like to take a chevy pickup and twin turbo it.. after I got a lift kit of course :P

I don't know if you knew this or not, but a Civic with FWD and a 80/20 weight distribution isn't exactly an ideal race car. :-\
