ok since i built my lx hybrid i have been killing imports left and right. 240 sx, delsol, civic but my favorite was a 98 honda prelude. cant wait to start moding.

That´s the beautiful thing about having a low weight car.

What have you done to your lx hybrid? just curious, cause i´d like to see it in action.

 

[chadgore]

here you go. http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/concert/34/id21.htm

 

[James92Scort]

what kind of engine did you drop back in there?

 

[wmadskilz]

how in the world did you switch over to the zx2 gauges??? I´d like to know how you did that?

 

[chadgore]

ok time to add new kills. a honda accord, honda delsol. i tried a corvette and a crotch rocket, but the dam things are just to fast. but i think if i had a turbo i could have killed the corvette. it was an older one. i was surprised at how i kept up with him durring take off, he was only gaining distense slowly. Dam i want turbo. just think if i had turbo and nos, oh the possibilities.

psh, i wish people raced in my city.. BUT NOONE WILL!... i raced some old ladies driving around last sunday morning.. but competition was weak... no im not proud of smoking old ladies

This past weekend this jeep wrangler pulls up next to me and I hear, "wanna race" now realize this is downtown by the courthouse where everyone cruises and all the cops SIT.

So I´m pulling away at green and because I have HUGE vac leaks it dies on me when I´m in low revs....as I start to pull through first I smoke past him. Had to let it blow off right next to him too...but I dont think he was smart enough to figure out what a turbo sounded like.

Fun for Me

 

[chadgore]

how about let me borrow your turbo. lol

Not too big of a kill, but i guess it´ll do for now! So im cruising down the interstate in my 1.8

(rhym not intended) and i noticed this car comin up fast behind me so i dropped from 5th to 4th and kept the rpm´s steady. I take a look to the right and it´s some dork boy in a first gen TSI Talon. Typical shiny muff, tach, and various gauges(probably don´t even work) he lets off so i can hear it queef and then i drop from 4th -3rd and hit it. To his surprise i was gone, then he started gaining on me, i know he was tryin cause now im doin 80mph and he hasn´t caught up . I slow down and then we go again, to make things short, i was in 5th and a half fender ahead then he let off and my car nose dived!

Doh!! The dreaded fuel pump cut out. I know i was over a hundred but don´t know exact. what cause i had that FAST AND THE FURIOUS tunnel vision thing goin on.

Anyways, sorry to take up so much space, just got caught in the moment!!!!

96´EGT, Tokicos, power core cat, straight thru exhaust exits in center of bumper like the mini(only bigger

)

 

[chadgore]

there are alot of tsi talons with messed up transmissions. i have a member in my car club that has one, and it is so slow, sorry to him but, he thinks its the ecu but i tell him its the transmission all togeather. be care ful with those jeeps, if they lock in on a rainy day, they will beat, at least take off. i raced a fellow escort and i spun all the way threw 4th gear, or third i cant remember, but eather way on rainy days i cant get traction. oh yea i killed a ford truck.

Good to see that youre into your car.

Maybe not so much yellow spray paint next time.

 

[sal_93egt]

i saw the website of your hybrid lx it looks pretty nice but i could not figure out what kind of engine you had. so what engine do you have? just wondering

 

[chadgore]

its the zetec power plant

 

[sal_93egt]

how many horses does that thing put out

 

[siragan]

I got the pleasure of driving an 87 VW Jetta GL yesterday...

I loved the handling. After going from a wagon to a sedan the difference was like night and day. I could weave around like a cat and the steering was smooth and precise. Really nice. The pedals were way high up compared to what I´m used to.
Anyway, it was nice, but to be honest, it wasn´t as fast as my LX wagon. The throttle response on it is really nice (and even better if I will install a 1st gen GT TB) and it really smokes to be honest. I´m really happy with my escort, and when I get enough moola, I´ll buy an EGT! woot!

Now to fix the windshield wiper... arg...

[chadgore]
