          This thread was quality entertainment for more than a few slow afternoons at work. It should be archived and kept forever.

            extreme gains

            For those that haven't seen it yet:



            Check out the huge difference between an overheating POS with a dead fuel pump, vs. and a POS with a rip off of a Dinan chip, 17 lb injectors, a Ractive intake, and a Magnaflow muffler and cat.

            2rwhp FTW!!1!!

                It will give possibly 1 more rwhp. Seriously.

                  All his mods and maintainence and he is still down 15hp from a stock M20?

                  No wonder he never posted it.

                    This thread should be preserved in tree sap and uncovered millions of years from now by car enthusiests of the future as a lesson.

                          Yes...Kind of like a proverbial head on a stake. It will serve as a warning for any kid that thinks chrome thruster nozzles and a 'powered by antimatter' bumper sticker will make his hovercraft go mach 1 faster.

                              did he ever post the price he paid for it? I bet he paid like 3 grand for that shitbox in the first place.

                              I own a couple cars that would qualify as "beaters" but they all have good motors in them. whats the point in buying a POS car when a good example of said car can be found for a couple of grand.

                              I'd be willing to wager that my $250 MR2 would eat his e30 alive (if either car would be alowed on a track, which wouldn't happen)
