SRT=no mufflers, just cats and straight pipe. I've seen under one. It's actually pretty cool in a redneck "hemi-cuda" kinda way.

The muffler ain't bad, the shiftknob SUCKS ASS - why on earth put a steel ring on the outside? The damn thing freezes my hand in the winter! Not only that, a frosty ice layer forms on the damn thing making my leather gloves slip off when slappin the shifter back!

So a plan of attack...........I have 12,500 to spend on this car. I want to beat a Lancer EVO for all MSP owners, to put some satisfaction in there minds. I do not want to replace the engine for a new one. I am open to suggestions.............. Whatever it takes, some people like to be original....................

The only reason that is a problem is you live in a climate that humans aren't made to live in.
I like the one stop shop idea.
The problem is regardless of what you do to get anywhere near 12's in this car will take away any daily driveability and reliability.

yea go for an SRT-4?(dunno)Turbo Matty P said:
with that much loot i dont know where id be. 5's, lol
ok here is the final solution then we can all just walk away from this debacle:
Parameters: (1)MSP, $12,500 to spend, Don't want to open the motor.
Simple Pull the motor and cram the biggest thing you can find in there. I don't think anyone has talked Chevy Small Block Swap. Lets say use an LT4(those are fun). Your hood may not fit anymore and there MAY be some cutting involved. Then go buy a new tranny and a solid rear axle(I hear good things about Dana) Ok now you have a RWD. Just don't hook anything up to the front wheels(It'll be fine, I promise) Now go to Ligenfelter and tell them to put the Twin Turbo set up from the C4 Vette on your car. See if they will toss in a bottle of Nawwwz as well. Oh, also you are going to need stickers, lots and lots of stickers. Now we gotta get this power to the ground, go buy some Weld Racing Drag rims and some slicks. We broke your budget a little but that will get the job done. Sub 12 second MSP coming at ya!!!!!

Well I finally need to chime in after reading all of this. I am the brother of "evo..eater" and have seen it all... so to speak. I bought my 2nd civic in 1995. I started to see its potential from the now abundant magazines at Barnes and Noble. I was one of the first people here in Houston to mate a T28 to my B16. I loved being able to spank the mustangs and z28's around here because they never saw anything like it. I have to commend my bro for starting out like this. His MSP is quick, but not quick enough for him. I can't blame him. I would want my older brother wiping my ass all over the road either. I hope that he can get some usefull info on this site, and crack my ass one day. But as someone said on this post, I'll just put an intake on and take him out again. BTW, I am not a Mazda hater, I also have an 03 6 that my wife drives, but I think he should just buy an Evo and be done with it. If he doesn't, then I'll be the one turning the wrenches to get his car faster.
