Whats the one thing that you would change about your car?
-Could be your ricer mod
-Could be a broken part
-Could be a part youd rather have, instead of the one you bought
Id fix my curbed to hell rims
i wish there was a forced induction option on the tib, more power couldnt hurt
and everyone wishes for AWD right?

not everyone... lol I dont have much interest in AWD at all
Realistically I would wish I hadnt hit a deer, and I could save that bodywork money for a swap... All out I would wish I had never bought it, b/c when I look back I dumped so much money into so many of the wrong places, but now I am into deep and want to/need to keep going

I'd like to magically loose 800 to 1000 lbs. but not give up any major driving comforts. Giving up lunch will not achieve this goal. Other than that, I'm a happy camper.

The motor.
Oh, realistically?
Right now I have ****ty lug nuts on there I had to snag from pep boys (had warning ticket deadline for expired inspection). They are starting to rust after about... 4 months? Someone hook me up with some Rays Red Extended lugs...

I thought you could supercharge them. Or are you talking from the factory?
I wish my clutch would change itself

Word? I'll sell you mine. Red rays extended lugs. How much you wanna pay?
I would like a 6 speed. Not a factory 6 speed though. 1-5th factory and the 6th gear something off a mac truck so when I am doing 70 down the highway I am at like 1500 RPM =)

Well, in japan all STis had forged internals until v8 (which are hypereuretic cast, like USDM STi). We just got shafted here

Either a dog-box or 2007 STI 6-speed. That way I could launch my car like I should be able to without being worried I'll break something, haha.
Or just to have my bumpers never hit 3 times in my school's parking garage. That'd be cool.

1. Crank. Shoulda went with a 74 or 76 mm(2054 or 2110 instead of current 1915cc) from the get-go. The case needed to be clearanced anyway with the stock stroke crank, so it would have only been about $250 more for a stroker crank and the rest of the stuff would'nt need to change. Note- I did'nt build engine.
2. Cam. Too small. Lift is okay, but a few degree's more duration and ground with a 112Lsa instead of 108 would have been optimal. Some say that with a turbo, the motor will keep pulling past where it previously fell off. However, my car still falls off where it did n/a. 500 more rpm's would be good.
3. Clutch. Shoulda kept the n/a clutch disc even if there would be a question if it could hold. I hate the cintered iron disc. I simply ca'nt get used to it. It's great for launching and is easy on the tranny, but I ca'nt even utilize the former benefit with the 165 series tires I am currently using.

Id set my car up for RWD and run the XR6t motor (turbo 4.0 inline 6), up it to 16lbs of boost putting out ~670 whp and ~600 wtq
(Actually planning for this tho...) Depending on which year I get the engine out of, it comes with either a GT35 or GT40 turbo

Jealousy! I would change the way people look at me for owning an Evo. I have been cutoff, flipped off, swerved off the road and had things thrown at me while driving. The worst was 2 Thursdays ago coming back from Atco with my girlfriend in the passanger seat. This hill-billy in a farm truck kept flipping me off and trying to start trouble with me. He would of been done but I did nothing about it and drove away. My girl looks at me like 10 minutes later and says "I am proud of you, usually I would have to bail you out" I said who else would drive this think home!
This never happened before! If I was in my old Lincoln I would put the hill-billy over the median!
