From Show to Go

Well, i am officially making my car a sleeper. I am completely tired of the show theme, for it gets old fast... and i love racing a lot more. i am going back to stock exterior, taking off my kit and my rims, going to either 15 or 16" black/gunmetal rims with some drag radials. I just thought i'd share...

Good. Another convert. You won't be sorry. Show cars are pointless IMO...it's like....why have a car if you can't drive it....and drive it HARD...

i have stock interior and yes i am going turbo

the other reason why i am giving up the "show" is because this is a daily driver and i dont like not being able to go in some driveways and into some parking lots because of my delicate fiberglass kit. it also adds more weight

I would not do turbo with air ride. Your going to regret it. I was going to do the same but I decided not too. I lose a tone of traction once i put my air ride on. My friend has that setup on his 99 Si. he wants to lose his bags and get tein coilovers now. Think about it first.

As for the show to go. Are you going from one to another because you can not get anything from showing, or are you that much into power. Honestly you can only do so much with a civic as far as racing goes without putting your motor at risk. I would suggest you go for both. You get noticed and respected with a nice car, where as you only get respected with a fast car.

thanx for the info, but i am no dummy.....i've been in this game for yrs and i am mainly in the show scene cuz i have met lots of friends there and the turbo will get me extra pts. I don't got to shows to win, i go to have fun. I would rather have air than turbo, but what the hell, i am gittin both.
