I would like to refer everyone to L-Dub's "Why street racing is a crock to compare cars" thread, since it seems like everyone thinks that the car that wins a street race is always faster: yay!

Civic Si Can be a quick little car even with a a few minor mods... Ya never know just how quick though until you try and take one on. I wouldn't be shocked to see a lightly modded Si (depending on year) wipe out a Z31T.

they are very simple to make... but in my opinion, the redneck way of "up'ing the boost." Why not do it right & get an EBC ?

check it... I made one that looked just like this (just different valve handle). I used it on a spare 280zxt. Final cost: $2.29

Also you were asking how you could up the boost since you're bone stock and then proceeded to ask how to make a MBC, thought that was funny.

I like the name given.

BTW: 86zMan: You might want to change your avatar so you don't seem as stupid as the person who created it.

"Yes you have the right to your opinion and I have the right to think your stupid."

Basic grammar.
Your != you are.
You're = you are.
