All hot hatch lovers, say hello to daddy. This car started the "hot hatch" phrase and the craze in America! Right now it can use alot of cosmetic and performance upgrades. One must be patient... I see the light at the end of the tunnel!! I have recently added an autotech g-grind cam. I no longer have headers due to their sucky design they started to leak. Pacesetter headers suck! Pictures will come soon.
I'm ready for some more rims
Took the back seat out... 30lbs gone....took the bumpers off...40lbs gone....spare tire out...30lbs gone.
1.8l SOHC 8v counter flow 1781cc 8.5:1 ....how much did I pay for this car??? $174!!! That's german made for ya!
Currently, I am removing the a/c, which should eliminate more weight. Sort of a gas drinking GTI. Notice the "Germany" on the head...I like that.
Here's a terrible shot of the collector portion of my old Pacesetter headers. All the black paint burned off these things the second after they were in use. I would advise getting the stock 4-2-1 setup. It's more streetable, and you retain torque while gaining hp.
Pacesetter did a terrible job designing these things. You used to be able to hear them rattling against the firewall.
Another terrible shot, this time of the part that was bolted to the head. Counter flow JH head makes it almost impossible to see the headers because they are directly under the intake manifold...see?
The younggun himself!
Bama boi....what??!!
I look whooped
Huntsville, Al...You know I gotta rep my city!
Another city shot
Yo, it's so funny how cats look over at my car and give that look like....is that a racer or is that some black dude driving a beat up car? I have a lot of pride for my car but at the same time I realize that at this point it isn't inclined in beauty. I've learned way too often that beauty doesn't mean crap when it comes to racing, so I will be doing performance first. Once I'm finished with the performance of my baby then I'll worry about making her sexy.....until then....say yucky!!!!
As far as light to light battles, I either smashed or was neck up with the following confrontations:
90's something Chevy malibu (6 cyl)
90's something 929 (6 cyl I guess)
90's something Honda Accord (had vtec)
90's something Honda Civic coup (?)
two 90's something Saturns (16v)
Oh, and by the way.....I'm a realist therefore this list is real...thanx. Haters, bite yourselves!!!
