Im looking for a Ghia like that...are there any good ones around? Very nice BTW

 

[Chip]

Check thesamba.com. Damn, I think you out-slammed my old Ghia

 

[MarcW]

Nice looking ghia chip!!!

Mine might have been lower but I bet yours still had a suspension! Mine rode like a trailer, gotta love form of function!!!

6" narrowed beam with no shocks and 3 notches in the back!!!!

 

[Chip]

I had CB drop spindles and a 2" narrowed adjustable beam, and 2 notches in the rear with 195/50 tires. It did have some suspension left, but when it moved it would scrape. Made cool sparks at night. Unfortunatly a Golden Retriever that was running loose in the road ended it's lfe. People that saw the car afterward thought I had hit a tree.

I forgot about those, mine also had 2" ds's... metric 165's in the rear and 135's in front so she would turn lol!!!

damn unleased dogs!!! One of my buddies hit a racoon his first day out driving his newly turbo'd civic... nice bent fins on a brand new fmic!!!

/\ /\ /\ small world....good luck with your cosworth bodykits 8)

i bought this XR4Ti on ebay about 2 months ago. i'm flying down to florida this sunday to put her in public storage til the spring

my turbo accent

and my all-time favourite

 

[HerrDeacon]

my turbo accent

Sweet, I love anything with a turbo ;D. That's not a common turbo'd car, nice sleeper. Have you dyno'd it?

 

[duncan]

it runs about 250 whp/250 torque at 10 psi

and runs low 13s

http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=6857361622720181776&hl=en-CA

with a bit more boost, it should be run in the 12s. it would be there already with a decent driver.

 

[bigblue]

After that vid that IS one hell of a sleeper. I have been a V8 guy but the 2.3T is very addictive. I have the turbocoupe intercooler coming in and some exhaust mods on the svo. Working my way up to 300hp. hope everything goes great on the XR4Ti.

 

[HerrDeacon]

Those are great numbers, especially on such a light car, must be a blast to drive.

 

[duncan]

thx guys. it's a bit intense to drive at full throttle (twitchy). i imagine an 11 second M3 would seem like a comfy chair in comparison.

 

[brewtown16]

ahh, i had a 8v with gti parts... i actually like the 8v better, it was easier to modify the engine.
shitty paint, toyo shoes. she ate civics on a daily basis. i miss this car. i currently have a 94 crown victoria with slight modifiacation, but the bike comes first

 

[awesome dude]

my old car, 1962 factory black beetle w/ a 1776 and dropped on the fucking ground..i miss this car.

and my current ride...

1952 J.C. Higgins Deluxe 100
