Looks good but it is too low, a speed bump could be disasterous.

kurupt.... what kind of bag kit do you have? I'm looking into a performance suspension for my GT but have not talked to anyone with a good setup to know how they perform..... is it very stable? I'm looking at MM full road kit... but if I can get a bag system to get the same performance with a better ride I'd go that route.,... any info?

Sorry for the late late late reply, I called sports trucks by Dean in my home town and they hooked me up.
You might want to try www.superhonda.com and search for bag kits also.

i correct myself, there are a few that are fast but the majority of them are stock except for a cold air intake, 5 inch exhaust tip/muffler, a rear wing that weighs more than the car does, a body kit, and racing seats lol very few have i seen that have more mods than that

Any car can be fast, its just the matter of what the owner wants.
I can take my lil civic with 150+ hp and make it into 450+ hp if I wanted to.

Three Words: Ford PowerStroke V-8. Enough aftermarket goodies to plant 500HP and 800lb/ft. torque at the tires, :stick: :toast: :smileysex :banana: :stick: :banana: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:

I don't know. I don't think that any Honda or any other ricer would stand the chance if they rolled up on a red light against a Dodge Neon. I mean a Dodge Neon with a pro-stock scoop, rear wheel drive, 800hp engine, fattie rear tires and a wheelie bar is §§§§ing intimidating as heck!
Mmmm.....Mopar!

V8's better watch out cuz these small lil dinky 4 bangers are tapping into the 7's 1/4 mile. Its just a matter of time

4-cyl cars are decent... on their big fat crutches.
Nearly no ricer could do §§§§ without forced induction in some form.
Save from classics like the Datsun 510, Z, and the RX-7's, "fast" rice is nothing but helpless little 4-6 pots with a turbo wet-nursing them into decent performance. Grab a bigger turbo for more fun.
Then theres the handling dynamics of FWD... :rolleyes:
:D
But hey, at least hotrodding continues, in some shape or form. Whatever is available, cheap, and nimble will always be popular and with undersprung, overweight, $30,000 Mustangs being the only "cheap" V8 car around... you can see why it will stay this way. ;)

The HKS supra has 1500+ HP... its a 4.3 litre Toyota/Lexus (same thing) V8, twin turbo... it initially ran 18 PSI of boost to make a bit over 1500 HP... that thing is capable of 30 PSI... or about 2000 HP :D
it runs like 7.1 seconds... they hope to break into the 6 second bracket VERY soon...
Look at the veilside skyline GTR (R32)... 0-300 KM/H (~180-190 MPH) in 13 seconds... thats right, 13!!!
