I have the gt-four hood aswell, from what I've read, the stock hood won't fit with the gt-four bumper. I had to take off the stock crash bar. Right now I'm riding with no crash bar but this weekend I'm going to get the gt-four crash bar cut and bolted on. It's a really easy conversion, I was really surprised

It would've been a few hours if I had the right tools, but it ended up taking roughly a day

the car looks awesome!!! im going to give some constructive criticism, get rid of that tow hook out the back. Its only making you look like a ricer. Other than that i love how it looks lowered with the FRS rims.

I actually just took it off today, kept hitting my leg on it haha, I got rid of the frs rims awhile ago, but regret it.
Thanks though!

Went to maryland to pick up some sideskirts from chris32880

On my way, I came upon this road, was way to fun!!




Before



After



Anyone have any ideas for a turbo on a 1.8L engine?

Engine only has around 3-6K miles.

If you feel the inner part of your fender, mainly the fronts, you'll notice there are like hinges.

Basically because my spacers made me hit my fenders 24/7 with the frs wheels. YouTube fender rolling or google it... I'm not the best at explaining haha

So I was reading about putting a turbo on my 7a, I feel that it would be to much of a hassle, any thoughts of a swap for the future? Since my engine has such low mileage i don't want to get rid of it yet. any suggestion in swaps into my st? It's embarrassing losing to my buddies civic when he has a full car and i have no one in mine.. but for now i guess i will have to suck up the lose... If anyone has some good ideas, please let me know, It might not be soon, but i want to do my research before i do it.

Your basic options are
If you want to use your stock trans ).1 4agze. Good motor ,older only puts you just over a stock gt I think
If you swap to a s54/e153 trans ). 1 3sge beams. Good dd motor, preferred by many, non turbo, but no real mods out there to make more power over stock beams power.
).2 3rd gen 3sgte, big power motor , said to be good as a dd, tons of upgrade parts out there, stock turbo, no real downside out side of some extra mantanance due to turbo being needed.
).3 v6 swap (1mz). Easy to find, good dd (has been for me anyways while I was driving it everyday) good power for non turbo motor.
Takes well to intake an exhaust mods, porting heads, porting intake. Not many aftermarket parts available. But some stock parts can be used for extra power, downsides its not been done alot, not as plug an play as the others, depending on your luck you might be stuck with a check engine light due to trans codes.
