7070, RE: is this worth it? Posted by neovb, Nov-13-01 01:30 PM If I was you I'd just spend 9-10 grand on a stick 97 GS and then get a stage II star turbo... Same price, more HP... but you lose the AWD - but I dont think its THAT important anyway, unless you live in alaska or something. | |

7071, RE: is this worth it? Posted by Niclipse, Nov-13-01 02:59 PM Never ever buy an auto. | |

7072, RE: is this worth it? Posted by EvuLFleA, Nov-13-01 03:03 PM Im with ^. I had an auto and would get beat by POS. I was scared to race civic dx's. Yes they are slow. | |

7073, RE: is this worth it? Posted by Erik, Nov-13-01 03:29 PM I'm thinking either tranny swap(but high HP= boom in alot of cases b/c dog teeth and non-pressurized parts can't keep up) or Get going on major HP and then stick a high stall converter in there and have some great traction and 60 ft times w/o having your buddies picking up what's left of your transmission. Keep in mind fellas that big blocks rely on autos and a slipping clutch methods. PLus even if you did want to go the manny way you could easily aquire the parts and shops to do it cheaper. In al honesty I've ridden in 2 different (very well moddified) 5 sp. GSX's and I feel that the 4g trans isn't really that snappy. | |

7074, RE: is this worth it? Posted by jZa, Nov-13-01 04:55 PM if you don't like auto's, you probly will not be happy with the auto, if you don't mind auto's, you could be just as fast. | |
