NinjaNick Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 A guy that knows what he's doing can make a good tuner car though. Won't beat my bike, but it will go.Buddy I work with can build engines from the bottom up and he has an ECLIPSE turbo'd with tons of other goodies and it pushes near 425 at the wheels it's pretty insane. It is one insane eclipse. It's so small too so it flies! He took me for a ride a few weeks ago and I just laughed as we hit 30lbs of boost and it made me laugh my ass off! It was fun as hell to be sitting in the passenger seat experiencing the G's. I was VERY impressed for an Eclipse.He also just bought a VETTE motor and is dropping it in a very old SUPRA. Can't wait to see how that turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 usually when i say "tuner" i mean in import with an exhaust pipe...there are very few people that actually put real work into their cars to make them faster, usually they put a wing on, swap the tail pipe, and put some graphics down the side...you'll see a few with body kits, bigger rims, altezza lights, and underglow...some people think these mods make the small import faster...(i can't watch youtube at work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockybalboa Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I like to pace the car until they shift in to second or maybe even third.Then when they think are going to keep up I pull a wheelie and leave them sitting there wondering what just happened.

Disclaimer Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 This would be my ultimate tuner car (except I'd prefer the WRX over the Evo)Tuned by AMS Performance out of Chi-town. The video of this thing running at Norwalk is absolutey sick for a "street car".http://jalopnik.com/382712/ams-mitusbishi-lancer-evolution-viii-makes-1130-hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I dunno, at the end of the day, cars are good at a few things.2 of the things NOT on the list are speed and performance...I drive a Cadillac because cars ARE good for Luxury, Comfort, Style, and Accessories...and in my opinion, Cadillac is among the best in all of those categories...Don't get me wrong, it isn't "slow" compared to other street cars, but it is NO match for a real motorcycle...(there isn't much this side of $100,000 that is close to a motorcycle in performance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 That's funny WRX was mentioned, because I'm a total EVO guy if I purchased a tuner/rally car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 OH....what are altezza's? Pics??That is all I see around Dayton mostly is bodykits and pipe tips. I'd rather work on the motor before I do ANY body styling. I'm that way with bikes too. I'd only tap into body work when I maxed the motor out.

I put a custom spec'd cam (spec'd by me) pushrods, and valve springs into my T/A, a clutch and full exhaust, and intake goodies and put down 433hp/402lbs/ft of tq in my LS1, go to my myspace, and check out my videos. it's in there. I don't think the dyno run is up but there's a few passes in there. Sorry, where displacement is king, I don't see the point in starting with the smallest motor possible.

I'm not going to bash his taste though because he's a really nice guy.But I think it's more of a preference issue and more of wanting a challenge and to be different. I mean I can say why would you waste money doing that on your T/A and look like Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit instead of just buying a Z06 Vette. See what I mean? I'm sure there's guys that would say they'd rather have their 1000hp Hennesey Vipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweezel Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 my point wsn't about looking like burt, it was that with a simple cam swap (okay pulling the radiator was a bit of a bitch) I had more HP/TQ than a motor running 30 psi of boost. Here's one with the equivilant amount of work, and probably money too<embed src="http://videos.streetfire.net/vidiac.swf?video=0e8662ab-986d-48bd-821f-e3c82608545c" width="428" height="352" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /><br/><a href="http://videos.streetfire.net/video/GMR-SPEED-TWIN-TURBO-KIT_50495.htm">GMR SPEED TWIN TURBO KIT. 790+ RWHP ON PUMP GAS. 8</a>after tuning and about another 45 min on the dyno that car made over 810 RWHP, and that was on pump fuel, 30PSI and race fuel would have put it WELL over 1000rwhp, I guess I don't get the point. I don't have millions to spend, so the biggest motor would yeild the best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see how that turns out. i know a guy down from dayton who had a 400+hp civic, sold it and bought two eclipses, and i think one was probably the one youre talking about. he sold those for an s2000. i met the guy in basic training...of all places.
