hi im 16 can i get 450hp out of a homebrew turbo kit for under $3000
 

nah im just messing with you guys. :party:

but seriously i dont have a miata yet (i own an '89 911)

im still in the research phase of the whole process and damn you guys sure do kill any noobs here. ive been using the search and find it hilarious how you guys just kill people who couldve easily searched something.

anyway after this my next post will be after a few months of research. hope i tricked at least one of you!!! :loser: ;)

happy to join the community though :wavey:

I was actually going to say, "yes, but if you knew how to do it you wouldnt be posting here' you'd be doing it" I believe its actually entirely possible; if you find good deals, can weld, can do engine internal work, remember that "correct" is the enemy of "good enough", and are already starting with a car with a 6 speed.

With the way things have been going I was definitely fooled. Well played sir. And welcome!

LOL.

You're going to be a good addition.

I knew it the whole time. Welcome to this place.

Welcome to one of the best car forums you will ever find.

That was funny. I opened this just to see the replies.

This thread was going places until I opened it :(

How about we ignore the actual post content, and flame away as if the title was the only thing posted? That should cure our boredom for a little while, or at least until the next clubricer reject finds us. :2cents:

Also, pics of P-car, Cats, or GTFO.

Definitely one of the better intro posts I have seen in a long time. :bowrofl:

I like it!

That'd get you 450hp... Once..

Once..

Well, I've been had.

Welcome!

Since no body has come out and said it...

It can't be done. Ever. Impossible. Not for more than say 10 miles.

Now go ahead and prove me wrong like a real guy.

Welcome, Garrett1021!

FTFY

Well played. Show us the Porsh-uh.

I reference that movie all the time and I feel like no one I am talking with gets it. Randomly-awarded props to you.

I've got a datalog of 3 full gear 23psi pulls on a bone stock motor before it came apart. Virtual dyno says that's 353hp/298tq. 10 miles? More like 15 seconds.

I regularly reference that or Big Lebowski. Nobody ever follows... Obviously they're not golfers.

Yep, showed up fine.

BTW, you are REALLY going to like working on a Japanese car if you've grown accustomed to turning your own wrenches on Teutonic iron.

Okay sweet! Here are a ton of pics.

The day I bought her:

I thought she needed some customization so I plasti dipped (cant recommend this stuff enough) the side skirts, the side mirrors, and the wheels. At first I didn't know if I liked it all but it definitely grew on me, I wouldn't have it any other way now.

Not a huge Beetle fan, but I'm definitely digging the Citroën. What's the story on that one?

Its actually my dad's car. Its a 1960 Citroen 2cv. It was imported a long time ago and purchased from fantasy junction about 7 years ago. If you look on their website you'll see the kinds of cars they're selling.. the 2cv was the cheapest car they've ever sold.

Those wheels actually look pretty good plastie dipped black.

OP: That's a beautiful car.. Plastidip is actually pretty awesome. Just did my helmut and some random bike parts..

Thanks a lot. Yes plasti dip is awesome, everything you see dipped in my car was done for under $15.

You really can't go wrong with this stuff!

Should have sanded the numbers away on the tail lights, other than that i love it.

Didn't even think of that to be honest... next time I have to fix them up again ill do exactly that!

Very nice Porsche, awesome license plate, and kudos for the totally random 2CV.

It looks like you are off to a great start in life. Stay humble and don't be a stereotype. :)

Thanks a lot! And I absolutely try my best! Ill be the first to say I don't deserve the car I have. I just got lucky.
