Come on ddquach,, you need to take your car to the track. I really want to know what kind of times you're getting with that supercharger. Sorry i don't want to rush you or anything i just want someone here to post a 12 sec 1/4 mile. I know ROROs car is close but not in the 12s yet. Oh by way i give your car a perfect 10...

funniest thing i've read all day. won't make the top speed higher, but every 100 pounds taken off a car takes one tenth off the time at an eighth mile track. that is definitely a nice car. the new brake setup is sick. i like it better without the decals, but since it goes to shows i understand.

The stock hood is NOT aluminum!! The entire car is made of steel...

yea I repsect what ddquach has done to his car. He's a pioneer when it comes to performance mod's. sc , brakes, etc. Like the looks of his ride too, EXCEPT the stickers. The car is so evil till you see those on the side. Makes it look rice, but the rest is outstanding.

Curious about your 12piston.

keep up the mods.

i also share the same awe as the creator of this thread when it comes to that car, it always looks so good! Do you daily drive it or is it just your car you work on and tear *** in once in a while? If you do daily drive it, does being so low to the ground suck? Because i want to lower my AWD 2 inches and i live on some rough streets, do you think ill be okay or am i better off not doing it?

Thanks!

P.S. maybe ill get the CF Hood and get 50+ HP !!! hahaha that dude made my f-ing day!
