Talon AWD TSI

**** man, this car is quick. My d16z6, has no ***** at all. I was driving down dundas, when this guy passes me at like 100km/h. So as we approached the intersection I went behind him rather close just to let him know that I was there...it's fun to make people think that you're a racer, when you're really not. When the light turned green, this guy just took off.

Sometimes I wish I had a DOHC VTEC, just for my own satisfaction. I'm sure we've all the had the "itch" to just rip it at stop light or maybe not.

DOHC VTEC might not have helped you... 3 grand into one of these things "can" get you into high 13's

Something most Honda's will never do...

I know Marco personally and he does excellent work..

magnus works on rotary engines as well, am i correct?
Reason i ask is i have a friend who needs a rebuild and porting done to his 1st gen rx 7 and im helping him out find a good place. the car used to be mine and i just passed it on to him. he already got a quote from mazdee's and just want a second opinion on things.

What do these cars run 1/4 mile in? (stock say or mildly modified)
