The machine work isn't really a issue.
My car will support the power I like got a new stronger driveshaft today.
Fabrication I do all the time so,it will not be a problem since I
have all the tools I will never need.I have the car and am just waiting
until next week when I have time to start phase one of the project.

Is it just me... or does that post make as much(or as little) sense as spending 35k on that kit?

Ya there is NO WAY Id pay that much for that kit. Wether you can install everything by yourself or not that is still a screwing.

i dont see how those parts add up to 35 thousand dollars??? thats crazy and not a good way to spend almost 80k. I would have a z06 with that much.

I'm glad you're excited bro.. but damn, if you can fabricate stuff, why didn't you just buy all that **** separately and save TENS of thousands of dollars?..

I am going to call these guys "Xcceleration" up in Hartford tomorrow. Surely there aren't too many of these kits sold, and you would think they would remember all of the two customers that have pawned their 1.5 children for a hideously overpriced 550 RWHP turbo heads/cam kit.

I'm sure pennywise is laughing his ass off at us for believe him.

You're just going to break ****. Driveshaft alone isnt enough...you also have 4 halfshafts to worry about, plus the transmission and transfer case.

If you want to make that kind of power, its simply on the wrong platform. Argue with me all you want, but the ONLY true benefit to building a car of that sort is the AWD system. Out of the box for a fun, DD its a great car. But not for what you are doing to it.

I know a guy with a 1st gen Eclipse GSX. It's a 2.0 turbo stroked to 2.3, upgraded turbo and all the goodies. It runs good right now; pretty fast at 22psi on pump gas, but he gets like 10mpg cause it has to run pig rich all the time. Now he's gonna detune it cause the gas mileage sucks so bad. He was gonna build it up for 750-800hp plus a 100shot, but it was gonna cost a crapload. Just the driveshafts were gonna be 2k EACH!.

You're trying to get all that power out of only 4 cylinders on the street, its complete overkill.

Hey penny, you said that you got a good deal on it.....if you dont mind my asking, how much did you pay for everything total? If you dont want everyone to know for some reason just PM me and I wont say a word.

I'm with you. There's no way in hell all that adds to 31.5k...unless it's overnighted from Japan.

But besides that, pennywise would not be that stupid to spend that money and have 550 whp, when he could spend that money on his Stang and probably have 1,000.

Geoff and Ernad are making sense.

X3 on a hype post.

I really really hope it is because if it isnt he needs his head checked.

He is serious. Look at post #9. But, I am sure that now he has been called out, he is now going to use the excuse that he was kidding.
