You're not impressed with his build, we get it. Lets see yours. Do you have one? Oh ok so you just sprinkle salt on others.. You miss the entire reason people tinker with their cars.

I just bolted things on with no thought. I feel so bad to waste a car, and my life. I feel so stupid. I thought modifying cars was a good investment. i thought you always make money. I'm just now learning it isnt true. Darn. Thanks @NOHOME FOR THE EDUCATION. |

Circle jerk, - For the car's intended purpose in the marketplace it certainly has been ruined. You have added performance, but you have probably increased the maintenance, possibly shortened the life of the engine. Increased the risk of warranty claims. Made the car harder to maintain from a dealership's standpoint. Added weight and complexity, made the ride rougher than the market may accept. And the big one.............added $8-12K. Did you ruin the car? no, but you ruined the marketability from Toyota's & Subaru's standpoint of a vehicle that already has questionable marketability. |

Man, the stupidity on this board is reaching all time highs.
I need to go away and get some brain cells back. |

On my Sprintex Intercooled kit, I'm probably making about 230hp but more importantly about 200lb/ft of torque. It's not that much more power and everything else is stock in my car. But the car is just so much livelier at speed, and I can get it to drift a little easier but when the tail gets loose it is just as controllable as stock. I really like it and so when Toyota's position is that any more power would make the car less balanced, I just don't agree. It just needs a bit more power.
