Question?(Erfinder)

I was just looking through the gallery and saw you ride, looks sweet. What type of suspension setup do you have??? how much of a drop is that?? I called about the RSR springs and they only give you a 1.2inch drop, I was looking for something around 2 inches.

thanks,

Tom

You think the 2.0 engine will be able to handle 375hp???stock internals? I'm not too familiar with these engines. My last car was a Honda Civic.

I just took the stock airbox out and got a shielded cone filter(canadian tire in Canada like pep boys $30) and stuck it to the pipe leading into the intake manifold. took maybe 5-10 minutes.

what kind of turbo kit are you picking up??custom?? I will be definately looking into getting some more power in the near future. I have a buddy hear in ottawa that fabricates custom parts(turbo manifolds..) and he usually does civics/integras custom kits. I might have to ask him to make a manifold....

My First Mod

Just installed my first mod on the new Optra. I'm quite happy with the results, car seems more responsive and has a meaner groul to it. Anyways let me know what you think.

I used to have a 99 Civic SI coupe, did the 1/4 mile in 14.1, then it got stolen. Great cars but very, very easy to steal. I'm happy with my Optra now!!! I will have it in the 15's by next summer!!! :twisted:

I can't seem to find any aftermarket parts for this car in Canada. If anyone knows where I can get some good lowering springs please let me...
