turbo your 2.3......there is a kit either out or on the way cause there is one for the 6i now IIRC. If you thought you liked the 7psi supercharger effect when the engine changes forms around 4000 then imagine the turbo (eekdance) just don't get the tractor trailer turbo unless you don't want it to start spooling till around 6000...I don't think the engine needs anything top end...just at startoff...I want a supercharger bad(smoke) Yeah you did own alot of cars and unless you design your own car someone will always have a car similar too you....If it is in mass production then you will never be the only one with it. I did the same by buying a neon....then realized that the car club is near me...then got a 6....and everyone decided to do the same thing too....3 hrs after I got mine 5 people drove past me with temp tags so they just got it..... just be glad you didn't get lost in the croud of civic Si type R's
Mazda3 or Tc?

I dunno, I think there are too many "someone elses" to ever be truly unique. even if you splurged and found yourself in an SLR mcLarin or a GT2.. you'd probably just go a year before spotting another one.
Then again, snatching up the newest model before it can get popular seems to work... it's just a costly affair.
what is the list? (the 10 cars up 'till now) if you don't mind?

advantage of a small city. I drove the mp3 almost 2 yrs before seeing another one, even then it was a orange speed. It wasn't until after I bought the titanium speed until I seen another mp3, and he was in from another town to buy my old winter tires/rims. never seen it again.
I have the only 2003.5 Speed on the entire island. It's cool. But, has it's disadvantages too. If I screw around at all, everyone knows who it was

i'm on this board because i like the 3 and its within my buying budget, if i had more cash free that i didnt need beleive me i'd have a nicer car.
as for you wanting to be diffrent, but sorry you won't be driving something unique if you buy a companies budget car, thats just reality. even an rx8 really isnt unique. if u want unique u have to basically make it yourself. if money really isnt an issue, pick a car and drop 20 grand into it making it a one off and something no one else have. you cant buy uniqueness off of a car lot.

yep roll the car and it still won't be unique... heres a link to the 6i....(wanna say 6i but engine bay resembles the 6 atenza model)

Already started developing the turbo as of last night. We are putting plans on paper, and getting prices. you guys might be suprsied as to see how this turns out because I guarantee this is something no one else is going to do. I have widen the fenders for this one as I will need as much traction as I can get for this girly. It's gonna be fun. I kind of dont want to ruin it and tell everyone what i will be doing... but at the same time I would love to tell because it's gonna be awesome. But anyways.. how much boost do you guys think our cars can safely handle? Im guessing arounf 5-7psi? i just want enough for about 40-70hp.
depends on how big/small the turbo is running cause a tinny turbo runnin 7psi is going to be a lil difrent from a larger one only running 7...I say start low and monitor engine wear and then gradualy bring it up...also get a nice BOV...last thing you want is a fast car and sound bad on blow off. Wish I had the cash and warrenty was up to start doing things like that. turbo her and you will enjoy it...not shure if you mentioned if you were autostic or stic...but if you are auto stick...invest in a tranny cooler with pusher fan and thermstat caus the trannys arent the ford ones but eventully thy will go from heat stress if pushed to hard.
