Re: d17 = waste of money
I guess you could say "performance part bolt on's" (intake, header, exhaust) are a waste of money for the D17. They make sound and look cool, but produce barely if any power. Now if you are saying a D17 is a waste of money compared to a K20 on the for sale shelf, then yea I would buy the K20 and agree with you. But, even still many people like their D17 engines and some pay to make it faster.
It's a choice. The D17 could cost less in the end compared to a K20, and have the same power if you turbo it.

i have spend more than 3,000 dollars on internal arrangements to the engine and didn't earn almost (nothing) Horsepower, sorry for those d17's runners but I have never seen a crappppppppier engine in my life, I am depressed with my car as soon as i finish with payment I'll sell it or burn it.
It is not worth even spend 5 dollars in gasoline to burn

please burn it. you dont even need gas to burn it. vodka...Edit: no, waiste of vodka...
use the gas in the tank or oil from the engine. but please burn it so no one has to put up with trying to fix the comlplete failure you made your car into putting 3k of worthless mods into it and expecting it to see a HUGE gain.
NO WAIT! put down the match. better yet, part it out to me, i need a few things
