Once again, this car was made to be entry level / affordable sports car, if your going to spend that much money, why would you not go up a level in cars? The greatest thing about this car is the bang for the buck. But I guess if you the time and the extra $$$ to blow, go for it.

Even with thousands of dollars worth of mods on these cars (and several of us here have already done that by the amount of topics on aftermarket wheels, tires, brakes, suspension, electronics, cosmetics, ECU tunes, intakes, exhausts, and so on), it's still a great deal, a well-behaved DD, a great looking car, an absolute joy in handling, and an incredibly fun ride. You could spend more money and still never get all of that. |

I would never associate HKS with the word fail. The price is not far off the competition and 30% increase in power and torque is fine.

I'm not sure how anyone could say "all this car needs is 100 more horses." The tires would melt! That said, I think the HKS 86 is awesome. Just saying it's not black and white. |

That's one reason I'm basically deciding to eventually get a twin scroll supercharger instead of a blower or turbo. More balanced linear power, plus the whine sounds sweet.

I've never heard it called that but I guess twin scroll is the same as twin screw? |

Twinscroll pertains only to the turbine housing of a turbo. It divides the pulses for more even pairing to improve the efficiency of the turbine. This will help with response, but it is really marginal until larger turbos are used. |

No no...i was referring to You. get it? your the Mr Sarcasm (in regards to you "framing" his quote) lol
Anyways, this SC is nice, but after reading all the inputs, it totally negates what i thought i knew about SC. I always thought SC = instant power/ less wear on motor. TC = needs time to spool and THEN the big power boost hits/ more parts/ more wear on motor. Oh well. |
