hello kiddies, hope you had a merry christmas biggrin.gif I went to fayetteville nc for the weekend and met a couple of guys out there at the local saturday nite spot. we decide to roll out to the strip (dont assume this was on the street) and one of the guys in a gti keeps egging me to take on the sti, i do it, and to my surprise, from 30mph im DEAD EVEN with him, with his boost to 17psi... he pulled on me after a while (6th gear?) i knew my car was quick but its kinda like that big kid in elementary school that dosent realize he's so strong

being that charlotte is a haven for those stining honda hatches, i never had any legit competition
where should i go from here?

1. leave the engine/turbo alone look for more ways to put available power to the ground

2. work suspension (already thinking about doing this anyway)

3. mess with the motor some more?

any suggestions?

You want power but have no money. That's a problem.

Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two.
