If only there was a cheap way to adapt them to RWD.

TurboXS has been putting out supercharger kits for the Elise. I forget the numbers, but they are damn quick.

The turbo kit is putting out 270whp IIRC or something like that. I don't think it's out yet....but Dan at Andrewtech said it's crazy. His Subaru ran low 11's....so that means it's pretty fast.

And I don't care if any of you hate me or my green wheels. I love my car. Sounds like some of you need to get laid (Pusha).
Are you offering?

They're copying race cars, like most rice stuff.

That said, I love bright colors on cars. So much better than drab greys and coffee stain colors.

I consider myself a pretty easy-going, understanding person, but you try my patience. I've tried to ignore your posts, but it's no use. You have to be the most annoying piece of **** on the internet. I played CoD on XBOX360 once and the people talking **** in that game were less annoying than you are. ****. I hate you so much.

No one gives a **** about your car and all you do here is bitch about how much you want a supercharger because it's better than a turbo. Take your green wheels with you on the way out. Fagg0t.

I think painting wheels funky colors is not rice at all. Putting huge wings on fwd cars is. Black and green are my favorite colors...it's more of an individual/creative thing than rice.

What was weird was seeing some hot chick today driving a light blue late 90s Ford Taurus with sprayed blue stock rims. We locked eyes for a second as we passed going opposite directions from a stoplight.

Update regarding the TurboXS kits....I think the stage 2 kit is about $6300 or so. It's roughly ~275-285 whp, depending on the condition of the cams.

The turbo kit is still under development, but is putting down a tiny bit more power...maybe 310whp? However, the torque is a lot fatter in the mid-range (maybe as much as 40ft-lbs diff).


Off topic, Brandon the fabricator at TurboXS is thinking about selling his LS1-powered FD. Trying to save up for a house. Such a nice car.

TurboXS... in gaithersburg? How much does he want for it? Maybe I can use it to tow around my disfunctional miata.

translation: you're a giant fagette and look like a stupid ******* attention ***** in a nearly stock miata with bright green wheels. If you were local I'd **** on your wheels then leave you a note that I pissed on your wheels just so you know.

Make your car a track racecar and no one will give you **** about green wheels.

you do know my summer set are 14" RPF1's and Star Specs, right? Wait, why do I care if you know this? Ugh. It's winter, dude. Most people in freezing-*** states like NJ have steelies or stock wheels on at this time.

Don't ever buy a salvaged lotus that has any real frame damage. Their aluminum bonded frame doesn't take well to being deformed and put back. Like all aluminum. Plus the clam shells on those puppies are un godly expensive. I will still own one soon though

I can attest to that, I have the stock wheels on with all seasons and have no traction.

So just because they're your winter setup makes it ok to paint them a ricer color? Its your car obviously so you can do what you want, but don't expect us not to give you **** about it. I'd even prefer half rusted **** brown colored steelies to that ugly *** green color on a non track car.

And rpf1's are very nice. So kudos on that.
You just went from fail to semi-fail in my book

they've been doing k20 swaps since 2004-2005 i think. there was one in the american togue. it did really good. they were at willow springs raceway. this was in 2007 and the guy said he did the first one 4 yrs. earlier.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whhkrDwdvGs

now what you wanna do is get your rich buddy to buy an elise and do the k20 swap. then you buy a cheap mr2 spyder and put the 2zz from your friends car into your mr2.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJSqnYw62AY

if the guy in the spyder wouldn't have let off he would have held the turbo's off till the finish.

Yes it's ok.

I am going to put magenta wheels on my miata just for you.

And paint my intercooler in thermal sensitive paint. Actually that would be ******* badass.

With your track record, you'd probably get overspray all over your windshield. Which wouldn't be a bad thing because you'd likely run off a cliff.
