So it's a Sunday morning and I'm kinda bored so I go looking at an older Sport Compact Car to get inspired by all the l33t mods and I see Gordon's car again.



Red. 3rd Gen. Fast.



Probably worth more then I've made in all my jobs to date.



I think they do these things just to provoke me and get me all upset and depressed and what not. It's like that turbo picture.



I want a turbo.



I'm starting to loose it.



Rice mods are calling out to me....stickers.....seatbelt pads....

If your NA has a healthy motor you could always turbocharge it, but you'd really need a standalone ECU to get the tuning right.

Both my NAs have over 100k on them and I doubt they've been touched. I think the one that runs has a sticking apex seal . . .that or some sort of screwy inejction problem.



Nooo turbo for me till I rebuild em.



Nooooo money to do that.



I'M STUCK WITH SLOW CARS HELP ME!







I still like driving my 7 so not a huge deal, I'll get to the power later.



Of course if someone with turbos just laying around wanted to donate to my cause

If there was enough interest I would make an NA turbo kit for both myself and others.

Maybe I'll just make one for myself, but I would make it so that you'd have to use a standaalone ECU. None of the old rigged up "kits" with a FPR that they used to sell.
