whats up?
 

Hey guys i am new here and i was wondering something. I know alot of you guys are hardcore Honda fans and hey i dont blame you. The civic hb and the crx are excellent platforms. However, i was wondering what other cars, around the same size as the civic hb and the crx, would be good platforms as well. You know, to keep the weight down, and because hatchbacks are cool.

geo metro's with 5.0 gt mustang engines boosted 8)

Re:whats up?
 

Check out the geo metro, only true playas ride in that level of style.

j/k of course :P

Re:whats up?
 

Anyone seen black sheep? When Farley ripped the coat would be like me getting into that metro.

Re:whats up?
 

any car you can think of is good for turbocharging

Re:whats up?
 

True Whitey, so so true. Nice job on that twin turbo setup. Anyways, I was interested in that Ford Festiva with the mazda engine in it. As we all know the price for gas is steadly increasing and well we all need to be able to get more bang for our buck. Anyways, the only close car to the Civic HB that I found was the Ford Focus and due to my hatred for the beefed up look that ford is going with, the focus is out of the picture. Hmmm, i have to say though hondas are easy to work with. I would say if i want good gas mielage and want to do a turbo setup then honda is the way to go but i was to surprise someone. Are Nissans easy to work with?

Re:whats up?
 

yes I got a friend with a KA24DET sexy sexy!

Re:whats up?
 

sorry diego wtf is KA24DET. Something related to nissan i am sure but i am not to firmilliar with nissan so please enlighten me.

Re:whats up?
 

Get a Mazda 323 hatchback and swap a BPT motor in it. That would be pretty pimp and lightweight, But chicks dig guys with civics so just break down and buy one. ;)

ha yes, well the only problem is that there are to many ricers. I do realize most people on this site dispise ricers but those lil fuckers are everywhere and well i dont want to was my time with them and their 1992 honda civic DX HB with a '00 front end with the stock motor and the non functioning hood scoop with a shogun body kit thinkin they can get into the next fast and furious. I would rather ignore them and smoke them all day in the most stock looking sleeper just to laugh in their faace and piss on their car.

Re:whats up?
 

thats the fun of it, get a civic or whatever, and your goal will be to make as much horsepower as u want, while still making it appear stock, sleeper style, just give it a hint of performance so that the local ricer idots will look at it and thing , this dude thinks hes bad cuase is car is lowered, then smoke the living ---- out of them

Re:whats up?
 

I saw a ford focus svt in a magazine that had a supercharged cobra svt engine in it. they converted it to rwd too. more than 450 hp. ultimate sleeper. Looked totally stock.

Re:whats up?
 

If you're not opposed to domestics and you don't want a honda, you could get a dodge omni GLH turbo. They're way fast and easy to get all parts you need from a junkyard.

Re:whats up?
 

yeah I had a friend with an omni glht and that ---- moved! he was boosting 12 psi and it hauled ass like a bat out of hell. it ran a 14.5 pretty much stock. he just upped the boost and ran drag radials

Re:whats up?
 

some of the older mr2's are pretty sweet

Re:whats up?
 

are you down with OPP ? ;D

Re:whats up?
 

Yeah you know me

Re:whats up?
 

nah do this, get a toyota tacoma xtra cab without the 4 by 4 option and drop a 2jz in there.

Re:whats up?
 

That would make for a pretty fast truck.

Re:whats up?
 

you got taht right, there are 1 or 2 here in Miami. My boss wanted me to make one but I was like uh... I dont have 7k for a ------- engine guy.

Re:whats up?
 

Wasnt the Omni also made by Plymouth cause Plymouth owns Dodge or something. I have to tell you though that Omni is one ugly car when it is stock lol would be funny as ---- to smoke some joker with that car though. Was the GLH model hard to find or are they easy to come by?

Re:whats up?
 

saw an omni today at the u pull yard everything was gone :'( every factory turbo car was gutted of their parts it sucked i payed a dollar for nothing i couldve gotten a quart of O.E. with that now im semi sober and pissed >:(

Re:whats up?
 

I know the feeling ive been to the yard quite a few times and have been dissapointed. Anyways i think it would be cool to get a turbo omni Not only the fact that they are fast but they are also almost a classic lol

Re:whats up?
 

sorry, kinda off-topic..but have you guys ever heard of a lingenfelter corvette? i downloaded a video on kazaa lite and holy ---- it was fast. These guys in a GSX were video-tapping and thinkin they were bad-ass riding next to this normal looking corvette.
They are looking over smiling and what not when the vette drops a gear and takes off like nothing i have ever seen! It was such a hard pull. I guess it was a twin-turbo'd vette. D/L if you get the chance.

A ford escort gt might be an alright sleeper, one of the older boxy looking ones. still a ford though ;D

Re:whats up?
 

Only one thing though can they be relied on i mean this car would of course be my daily driver so.... could i trust it and oh yeah anoune got any links to find stuff that is Omni Based? if i knew more about the car i might feel more comfortable driving one.

Re:whats up?
 

Found it its the Plymouth Horizon isn't that the same damn car? or is the Horizon N/A? all i have to say is that the omni isnt exactly the easiest car for me to get here so something in the ballpark of it wether it be the horizon or the Omni or the Colt (plumouth or Dodge) or w/e i dont really car as long as i can fit in it lol im like 6'1" 240 lbs

Re:whats up?
 

Oh ---- i just remembered what about those old school like 1987 Toyota Corolla FX-16 i do believe those were hatchbacks right? lol toyota is reliable so i would feel comfortable with that lol oh yeah i would also be willing to go with a 2dr coupe that is similar to a Prelude the old school kind you knos something small but low to the ground at stock and semi airstream.

Re:whats up?
 

i have that video, i dunno wtf a lingenfelter vette is but its hella fast, pulls like the 10 second vette i saw up at the track a few months back at test and tune. then i saw it for sale for 60 grand, over 600hp with nitrous, it was similar to the one that 13 sec AWD races. sick ----

Re:whats up?
 

Plymouth Horizon and Dodge Omni are the same thing. You just need to get the turbo model. Anyway, the guy I live with has one, and I drive it all the time. The thing smokes my turbo civic, and it was way cheap to build. It's so damn fun to drive. It has a 2.5l block, a VNT turbo, LSD, a few other upgrades. Anyway, you pull up into a parking lot, get some people to stare, even snicker a little, then you sit there and burn the tires for 20 seconds or whatever until the people till the people wipe their ugly ass smirks off their faces.
At this point I'm not going to go and sell my civic to buy one, but I have put to shame many moderately built hondas and acura and mitsubishis, and mustangs and....well you get the point. I'll find some links of some fast chryslers and post them.

Re:whats up?
 

the vette in that vid had, lingenfelter headwork, and a doug rippie motorsports nitrous package...

the true lingenfelter corvettes, either the 550hp TT, or the 750hp 427TT are truely badass.

in the 8 second 1/4 range with street slicks.

and then theres the one they just upp'd the boost and put race gas in... was like 1200hp... 7.5 1/4 or somethin i dunno around there... in a stock lookin vette!

Re:whats up?
 

i want to turbo my KA24DE and im a n00b so i need info

Re:whats up?
 

Well that post will surely get you answers. WTF?
