yah Jonathan's Lude was fucking badass! It's sad to see that it is gone now ...DA take the advice of Jew..Save the money you would put into "fixing up" your current car into something nicer in the long run.

DarkAngel, I agree with not modifying your car's performance... you'll never catch my STI, and it's only a Corolla, so engine mods may not go that far. As long as you don't have to stop or slow down, you can speed just as easily in a slow car as in a fast car... so you need to focus on comfort and MUZIK!!!!!! Get some good tint on it, get yourself a Speedpass if you don't have one, and check out an XM radio. As far as sound, I recommend getting a custom box (Sub-Floors own, but no spare-tire), and have someone professionally wire it for you. If you want to really pimp it, Get som JL W7's for the bass, MB Quartz mid's and high's, and amps with plenty of RMS. I have Infiniti's, and Boston's are good too. Don't get a Sony deck. After that, just tune in with some EDM, and your ears will be in bliss... nobody listens to techno!

i like aiwa receivers but no one really talks about them much! i dont know why...
i got an old sherwood 340w 4-channel amp, 2 pioneer 10 inch 500w in a box and aiwa cdc-x504mp which is loud enough

LOL! Dave, how the hell do you expect a FF (Front Wheel Drive) car (My car) to catch a 4WD (4 Wheel drive) (your car)?? I'm sure your STI has Turbo, second your car must have AT LEAST 200HP.

About the pain job, it's burgundy.

So far, the saving for something better option looks better, but I do want to keep this car, even if I get another one, unless something else changes my mind. I have my heart set on a 3.5RL (no need to hook THAT up) or something else, 4 door but sporty, maybe a WRX or something simliar in that respect.


A sound system def. is what this car needs, tho.

I believe they are 300 hp, and yes they are turbocharged but don't let common misconceptions fool you. AWD is only truly put to good use in off road situation, wet/snow, and launching. In racing after the launch AWD procudes nothing but a liabitly, adding weight and more rotating mass/parts. Take a look at the Pinnacle of road racing Formula 1, and even going redneck with Nascar you won't find and AWD cars for that liabilty issue. Hell look at a standard 911 turbo, AWD, the race version the GT2 more hp only rwd.

#2 Forced induction. Yes you can get impressive hp numbers out of smaller displacment motors using forced induction. Fact, a naturally aspirated car putting the same hp out as a FI (Forced Induction car), will ALWAYS be faster all other variables being the same. FI tends to make the powerband peaky, if you want to go fast affordably, stick with what is known, displacement. With under $1200 I was running 11.40's @ 120 mph in my Trans Am. Speed is money though so how fast do you want to go. There is only 2 ways to increase hp, increase torque (HP is nothing more then a function of torque, so basically hp is torque's bitch ) A dyno uses a simple equation to process it. Having useable torque makes for more efficeny as far as fuel consumption and no need to rev your motor to the moon to make power.
