Re: My DIY light install finished

I threw a DCRH with resonated test pipe and a GSR exhaust on my car and took off the 2.5" magnaflow system. Paired up with my DIY airbox it sounds fantastic. Sounds just like my gf's 09 si.

your car is slow

I've seen some pretty cool stuff like that done on mustangs. I like the look of it in dash.

yeah my car is a bit slow but its a civic. It's faster than my gf's 09 si and it took my boys g37 sedan, not by much but it still ran him pretty good. I'll have to shoot another one with just myself in the car and from first gear. I want to use the oem vtec light from the del sol. someone pm'd me about a step by step, ill have something up soon.

Your car is slow. Your car is a piece of ****. Nobody gives a **** about your mustangs. Mustang is a woman's vehicle. Thats why you see old women driving them. Am i the only one that notices this ****? The only people that drive mustangs are old women and retarded faggits like this guy.
Your car blows. It's worthless. The only thing its supposedly good for is being fast and it's not even good at that. Don't beleive me? Look up qaurter mile times for stock mustangs. They're about the same as a stock civic. **** you

let's not bring this into my thread. i am anti domestic for the most part but some people are partial to them. The guy didn't come at me talking a bunch of ****, he was just poking fun, no need to get all bent out of shape about it. Some do it with pushrods some do it with boost. It's all the same man. Now if he would have come in here talking all this snizsnaw about **** civics then that's one thing, but he didn't. He was polite and respectful (as far as i could tell) so let's not behave like inner city "gangstas" with their pants around their ankles and extend him the same courtesy.

this is 0-60 mph times and qaurter mile times off of exoticcarsite.com.
These test are proven stock times that are credited. **** YOU!!! Your gay *** mustangs arent even faster than civics. They handle like ****, they get terrible gas mileage, and they arent nearly as reliable. Now take your head out your *** before you say **** like that.

you proved your point. but this is NOT the thread for it. Go to another mustang basher thread with your bullshit. Seriously it's trash like you that make it hard for the rest of us to live peacefully with out civics. Keep your bullshit out of here and end yourself. This is a DIY thread a **** my pants and talk **** about mustangs thread. Have some ****ing class.

oh and you pretty much contradicted yourself there. the mustangs are faster 0-60 by almost/more than a full second and are faster in the 1320 by a full second (04 GT vs 99 si) so way to fail on that one.

Re: My DIY light install finished

that's actually a pretty sweet idea, props to you bud. shes come some get up and go. I dunno bout mustangs but I've raced my uncles 87' 5.0L at the track and beat him. his is totally bone stock though. i think he ran 15.4 I ran 14.2. that was with my old turbo EG though. my new b16a would kill it too though. USDM b16s run low to mid 15s 1/4 stock (there abouts) JDM B16As are faster.

Re: My DIY light install finished

thanks man i appreciate it. That video was actually starting in second gear too with an extra body in the car so it slowed it down a bit.

The light comes in real handy as a diagnostic tool too. I can tell when im low on oil by hitting the gas if im on a long trip and haven't checked my oil level. It also came in handy for diagnosing a faulty ECU.
