A girl who knows how to turn a wrench

Just thought I'd make an official intro

Not going to say I'm a pro at em2's, but I'm not an amateur to vehicle work. Hopefully I can finally decide on what K motor I'm going to swap out down the road. Should be a fun build/swap!

Re: A girl who knows how to turn a wrench

Congratulation. Want a cookie on knowing how to use a wrench?
I do recall it's not exactly rocket science to use one...

Regardless, welcome.

Think of a movie with a bad plot, no real relation to reality, based in Tokyo, about drifting, and part of a series. Now remember the beginning?

I watch it because I like to see Twinky get hyped up over a green mini van with purple fur covering his gauge cluster. And that 4 banger mustang was a joke lol. Yes, I'm sure it had a little power, but a fastback 'stang would only win because of the Z falling off a cliff, which they covered. So I guess it's pretty realistic haha.

And oh look... we have another ricer

Welcome, and the mustang had a rb26 swap in it in that movie. The rb26 is a inline 6 not a 4 banger lol

Re: A girl who knows how to turn a wrench

Well... EXCUSE US! Lol. I still don't think that mustang could ever win a drift race against a 350, it just isn't that kind of car.

Somewhat ironic.

Keiichi Tsuchiya, more commonly know as Drift King, described the 350z as more of an American style muscle car than a real Japanese car because of it's poor handling. While the Mustang has received quite a bit of acclaim for it's excellent handling.

Re: A girl who knows how to turn a wrench

Huh... I never knew of the mustang to have decent handling. I test drove the 2010 mustang and I thought the handling was kind of funky. Then again, I didn't drift it lol. I just know that muscle cars are good at one main thing, straight shot speed. That's why I have a civic lol.

Re: A girl who knows how to turn a wrench

LOL!
Welcome, Roxie, now i see yeh won these guys!
A normal mustang handles like crap - drove one rental and it was simply... understeering like a pig... (surprise, surprise...)
a better prepared mustang does wonders, though, but they need to swap a lot of parts to get it fast and handle good.
A 350Z is not bad, they get good times in the autoX, which is not easy for high power cars lacking handling. However, all the guys that are not good drivers... when they turn the traction control off, they come back to the grid crying... LOL!
Roxie, consider looking for suspension first and foremost. rear sways from RSX (best, cheapest and easiest), etc. then consider a stage 1 crower cam, they do wonders and are a drop-in (yer a canadian Si, right?) no need for diff ecu, stock works well and gets round 25WHP

Well, rental cars are the most dumbed down things I've ever drove. My friend had a mustang rental while on leave, and he said it handle much differently than his own (which was on base). Meh, either way I just am not much a fan of the muscle cars anyways. Even though I grew up around them.

I do have some sort of upgraded suspension, but don't know exactly what I have. I'm going to swap it out later on though since they're pretty new (last owner put them on a month before I bought it). New cam, I'll consider it. Yes it's the Canadian Si (aka american EX). All depends on the cost, and maybe I'll so some n/a work. Not really wanting to put too much in my D series block since I will swap it out later.
