Default would like a ride

Anybody in town has an S with around 350-400 rwhp? Turboed is prefered. I would like to see how everyday drivability is. I'm currently SCed and find it sometimes unbearable for dd'ing. If you're going to one of the weekly meets, then let me know.

Why is that? I thought SC doesn't change the stock feeling when under vtec.

lol, if the dd experience w/ a sc isn't to your liking, you probably don't even want to think about a turbo

A few peeps with turbo: JCA, JCarlton are the ones I know in Tampa (Someone bought Cheryl's ride lives in Tampa too, I think). Jess isn't local and her AP2 was just done.

yes i had, however it lasted all but 5 minutes in a 45 mph zone. hehe. I think if we took it any higher it wouldve blown up then and there!!!

btw this is the guy who bought cheryl's car!!!

Lemme clarify soemthing. I would like to go turbo but im wondering aobut everyday drivability. The SC isnt that bad, just that the clutch and exhuast are killing me; I actually heard that turbo exhausts are more quiet than SCs. And ithink switching to ACT clutch package would solve the clutch problem.

my turbo car exhaust is quieter yes but its 2 1/4" ill be upgrading to 3" theres always going to be small problems with turbo cars ask anyone who has FI in there rides its the price you pay for more power.. If you dont want any headaches stick to all motor and even then it could be somewhat of a little heada

Turbo FTW

Change the exhaust, go with the ACT clutch, and call it good. You will be fine. Going turbo cost too much to do right.
