HeyHey I guess I should introduce myself

[kevio180]

Hi everyone, just joined couple of days ago, thought I should say hi. I'm a Carleton student, been here since 2006, just moved onto the Quebec side, insurance is crazy here, saved so much, lol. I drive a 2001 Jetta now, and I ride a 2001 Suzuki Katana 600. I been around the tuner world for about 6 years now, played with many cars and saw alot of different things people are trying out of there with their rides. I have a post at http://www.comefromchina.com/newbbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=491137&forumid=118
I been working at a place where we had local race team connections and been around many highly modded cars. The fastest thing I have driven was at Tri-City Battles in kitchener, I drove my work place boss's highly modded 93 Toyota Supra 638hp at the crank at the flag rounds.
I'm generally good with modding cars, I did lots of painting inside of the car when I was working there, so I'm pretty good in that area. If anyone wants to have their inside of the car painted, don't be shy to ask.
Well hope to meet all u guys at the next events and looking forward to a great time. If u guys wanna holla at me, msg me on msn at lil_kevio@hotmail.com

玩的好还行，对技术不好的不推荐那样做。昨天晚上在小区里开车，正赶上前面有一个拐弯，看起来很适合漂移的样子，就多踩了两脚油门。。。所以我就一不做二不休，一拉手刹，反打方向盘。。。一切进行得很顺利的样子。。。马上就要出弯了，发现车头回不来了。。。然后。。。。。。就一下扎进了路边的雪堆里。。。。。。

下车一看。。。雾灯碎了一个。。。FRONT BUMPER 出位了。。。还好这两个部件是我经常拆卸的，比较熟悉怎么修，要不就得花银子找BODY SHOP 了

lol, after the super bowl sliding 360s in the billing bridge parking lot, lol, so much fun

i slide all the time but its not because I want to, lol, 18s and performance tires is such a bad thing for winter, lol, might as well be running straight on the worst summer tires, lol

 

[馨枫]

summer tires？达人就是达人，冬天大家都换雪胎了，至少也得换个四季胎，不过夏胎。。。难度较高，技术真好。。。。。。佩服，佩服
看样子，达人好象是从别的城市搬过来的吧。。。。。。只是随便问问（我不是移民局查户口的！）

 

[kevio180]

lol, yep, go summer tires, lol
I moved over from Guelph and all I had was about $1500 to replace my tires, so koing 18 rims and komu performance tires was the only set I liked, plus even its all season, on 18inch rims its still like 4 snowboards under the car, lol

 

[馨枫]

我知道一个中东老头儿，专门卖used 轮胎，都是好牌子而且很便宜，有时候还是能找到很不错的deal（9.5成新的米奇林，普里斯通）我车上就有两个yokohama高性能四季胎,买的时候几乎是全新，才50刀，都用半年了，一点问题都没有。不过他最大也就卖17寸，没有18的，估计他是因为偷不到吧。。。lol

 

[kevio180]

lol, winter is almost over, I only been on really bad snow days like 2 or 3 days so its not a big deal. i probably get a set 15s steelies and winter tires next winter, right now just saving up money for that bigger turbo.

 

[馨枫]

你说的那个 bigger turbo要多少钱哪？那你就是不想换车了？把1.8T 换成1.8 Bigger T ？？？
还有准备换下来的那个小T能不能装在别的车上？ 。。。LOL

 

[kevio180]

I'm now looking at a GT-28R71 turbo, should be running close to 280hp at the wheels, and I'm planning on running bigger injectors and a higher octane program from Tapp's Auto.

The K03 turbo I have now isn't a big thing, if you can find a custom kit that can use it you can have it, but I haven't seen any rsx running a KO3.

What you could do is run a T3/T4 on ur car and should get you 75-100hp from the kit. T3/T4 is a very durable turbo, the kit for my car is over $5000 for that turbo so I kinda don't want to get it, lol, as the GT28 is going to cost me around $3000

By the way, do u snowboard? lol, cause a bunch of us are trying to organize a snow trip.

 

[kevio180]

Almost forgot, lol, when I was in high school the RSX was gonna be my first car, but then family wanted a newer family car so I put in the money to get the civic, lol

Anyways, the official honda ECU turning company is called Hondata, they have the K-Series ECU tuning chip and fuel remap software, that should run you about $1500 and you will see a very nice gain in torque and horse power. With some good tuning you should see as much as 50whp increase.
