I'd agree, but I actually had to go find someone to talk to inside.

genesis is rwd and they can put down power.there are several people on genesis forums putting down over 400. they've been out how much less time than the disi? All I do is research before buying something


thx tho bro.

If you get a Gen2 welcome to the forum but at 16 you shouldn't get anything abouve 160hp. Keep your Civic, work on brakes and suspension. Go to the track, do some auto-cross. Learn the limits of your car and what happend when you scew up....and you will, we all do but it will be somewhere safe.

You will have a blast and it wont cost a lot. When you are older get your self a faster car. Thrust me, you will learn while having fun. And if you hurt the car it wont be a $23,000 (us dollars) car.

You researched? Check consumerreports in your research? Check those little circles under reliability next to all the major systems of the Hyundai brands did ya?



like a thousand posts on a thousand forums, ask for advice, ignore what you get, dont be surprised when it doesnt go the way you thought. seen it. know the ending. channel changed.

they arent doing that with their small pos turbo. their shit is smaller than ours. so those are def upgraded turbo Gencoupes

[adlpb]

You're fucking 16 and you're already looking for your 3rd car? What the fuck!? When did you own your first car, when you were 12! You must have very handy-downy parents, because I sure as shit would never give my kids new cars at all, especially at 16. I'm 23, I've never had a penny paid for my 3 cars, one of them which was stolen. I also own my own house. I learned how to appreciate my own things when I pay for them. But I guess I'm ranting on you because you'll learn this someday. Now go enjoy your free new car.

You are not only young, but ignorant as well...

[alphasaur]

past tense of bring not equal past tense of buy I was playing along harrrrrdy har.

I am 23 btw, which I know is still considered young by the majority of you.

since you guys aren't really aware, I've been thanking and being sincere only with the select few that have given legit advice. Everyone else is lol.

this forum is fantastic, really though thxguys.

[forcedinduktion]

Nice avatar OP

[alphasaur]

thanks, you comin over to see mom tonight?

[adlpb]

A civic si owner attitude stands out like a sore thumb in these forums. We all know who our previous case was.

funny, because the tone of this forum is very evocative of crsx... Except your car is fast.

pretty sure on the mazda at the moment due to the genesis' weak tranny. Cargo space is nice for boarding too. Gonna see what nyc dealers have cause my closest dealers dun have shittttttt.

yeah I was considering a wide range of cars based on cost vs power. The Genesis and Mustang Gt I eliminated for the fact that enough people are having issues with the manual trannys to sway me from buying one. The fact that the NHTSA has opened an investigation into the Mustang's MT-82 will hopefully force Ford to do something but its not worth the risk on a 30k+ car.

[alphasaur]

Just got a quote for 22,282 (lol I know, odd number?)

According to edmunds invoice is 22986 and tmv is 22386.

With ttl thats about 24200ish. Seems good to me, I think I'll offer 23600 including ttl and see what they say.

They still havent got back to me on color.

For sure, when I was car shopping I test drove the new v6 mustang. I was reading that one of the signs is grinding into 5th, low and behold the one I test drove didn't shift smooth at all and made a nice grind into 5th gear.

oh there seem to be more issues then there should...especially in the 2nd year. Issues with the grinding of the trannys, gear lockouts, not being able to shift into reverse. Also the fact that there is so much oil blowby with the new 5.0 and more then enough people are getting a ticking noise from the engine after a few thousand miles and a couple of oil changes that Ford says is normal...

yeah but every swinging dick has those cars. You can pick the Speed3/Speed6 just based of what it can do and is as the best choice, but also because blending in to a crowd is boring. Makes it the best choice in every category to me.

[dooderek]

dude you missing the point of the arugment. its a fucking genpu

Boosted K20A2 or K20Z3...

Boosted K20A3 is the biggest piece of fail known to man.

In the end, I was worried about the K series transmission blowing up. if it were me, and you had your finances in check and good credit, now would be the time to jump into a MS3. I love my genpu way more than I ever did my rsx, even after 15k in bullshit upgrades to it.

im the complete opposite, i miss my boosted rsx everyday, shit made ungodly amount of power easily and was more funner to drive then the ms3, if it wasnt for my job/location/wife id of kept the rsx, i do like however the torque and creature comforts the ms3 offers and is a good enough DD.

Just stfu.



On another note: my friend back home has a boosted ep3, when he first got it boosted it was a cheapo ebay kit and was good for 260whp tuned on megasquirt. He eventually saved money while he had fun with his set up and did it right with k24 swap, gt35r, kpro and is making 624 whp. Where ya at BT ms3's?

MS3 is a nice car, not hating on it or or defending Hondas, but K motors (aside from the a3) are the superior motor for boost and high HP #'s any rsx/civic/integra/ek/eg with a k and a snail will destroy any ms3 out there. simple power/weight. Let all you mazda lovers and ms3 fanboys begin hating and trying to troll me but its true no matter where you look. Its all just preference on what you wanna own and do with the car.

I LOVE YOU ALL.

/end

[327whp]

Nice to see you are trying for the MS3 but you only counter to save $600. That is hardly worth it but hell, good luck and get it anyways regardless of the $600.

I'm a big fan of the K motor, but for every decently fast honda out there, there's 1k more that are slow as balls and suck dick.

Your buddy with the k24 swap is making good power, but he's needed an engine swap and a bunch of additional fab work. Probably cost him a good 15k to get it all done.

Point is, OP isn't going to be boosting a K24... He's going to be boosting one of the weakest motors that Honda has made in the last 20 years.

Cool brah, how much torque was he making? 190?

[adlpb]

It was late and I had a rant. Tired of these kids today getting everything handed to them. If you lived in my town you'd understand
