[JOE]

[bigdangerous]

I have an 03 VW Jetta Gli and an 02 Kawi ZX9r...the bike is getting the forks cut right now and a 6 over arm. The jetta....i have no idea what im doing. I wanted to do some euro performance nerd thing, but i dont know anymore.

Tommy... If you are going to do a lift try to avoid a body lift. A lot of times it will weaken the vehicle overall. Do a suspension lift and if it is leaf springs use a combination of new springs and blocks to lift is. With coils you can do new springs and spacers. Then just cut the wheelwell if you need tire clearence. Plus if anyone is looking for some 32" Michelin MTA's I think with about 90% tread on them on wheels with a full size spare for about $500 let me know...

Hey dan you forget
<---------- automotive technician!!!

I know what to do and what not to do! I'm gonna try to get, about, a 4" suspension lift, and a 2" or 3" body lift. Nothing extreme but able to get over most curbs/civics that get in my way! j/k

[FreeRideFrosty]

lmao... forgot about that. Let me know when you want to go wheeling I'll see if you can tag along with some of the guys around here. A lot of the stuff some extra throttle will get you through.

I figured I would chime in-
04 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP- given to me as a company car.
Company was acquired and now they are talking about either a Grand Prix GXP or a CTS as a company car.

[FreeRideFrosty]

And this thread was ressurected from the dead!

Ooh...What year?

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

who cares...its a honda lol

[Ponch]

And that's why he said "rebuilding" LoL

[FreeRideFrosty]

I don't own one and I am already used to that response. Out of curiosity though..... what other car can you get and have a turbo kit built up for for $2000 total?? Plus.... have it run high 12's low 13's?? Exactly. I think it is fine for a campus car. One of my buddys has a civic putting down over 350 at the wheels. He will help me with the turbo kit.....

[FreeRideFrosty]

That is his car. One badass looking honda if you ask me. Now the one I plan on building won't be putting out as much power, or look quite as nice, but you get the idea.

[Ponch]

Idk why, but the rims don't fit with the car imo.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Don't worry.... when I'm around him the only thing I see is the rear bumper anyway.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

im sure ur coffee can muffler will sound super cool too, maybe like a blender on high?

[FreeRideFrosty]

:confused: I don't see a coffee can?? Czech, not all honda's are rice. If the mods done are strictly for performance, who cares? I have seen him smoke corvettes, supercharged mustangs, camaros on nitrous..... and all of that out of a 1.6 liter. Sounds like good engineering to me. Plus he gets 35 mpg. Try getting that out of a blown stang.

I drive the 2003 Honda Odyssey now, Wife has the 04 Nissan Murano SL 4wd.
But my favorite is our red 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 fastback coupe. It was bought brand new by her grandfather and now we are the caretakers. I drive it a few times a year, once a year in the LaGrange pet parade.

Need pics of the galaxie! My neighbor has a '63 vette and a '37 ford. We get to take the vette to the shows when he drives the ford. Fun time.
