seriously man, i know how you feel. you want a car and you want a sexy one with a lot of power. but dont trust everything the dealer says bcus the ad says it has a turbo and you are saying its a supercharger. so definetly get that checked out and please take it to a trusted mechanic to get things checked.

 

yeah definelty i know wat u guys r talkin about im definelty gonna have someone look at it im pretty sure it has a 30 day or 1500mile warrenty so ima bring it somewere asap jus to check things out

 

I would have to assume it doesnt have a stillen supercharger bc the stillen supercharger doesnt fit under the OEM hood. So its probably turboed if anything. And there is a HUGE difference in working on something first hand, and reading about it and then trying. Will this be your only car? If you intend on this being your toy, maybe consider getting a hoopty as a daily driver. Im a firm believer in a car is meant to be driven, but you do get a lot of small things, knicks, dings, rock chips, from a bunch of daily driving that can be EXTREMELY annoying on your pride and joy. Its just a thought. Either way, it sounds like a good deal.

 

IMO...i dont believe in having more than 1 car...its just waste of money, but thats just me....to each its own.

 

Do you plan on getting a bodykit or anything like that? If so, paint damage from road wear could cost alot. And maintenance for my integra is ALOT cheaper than maintenance on my infiniti....haha plus I only paid 1600 for the integra. Ive spent more than that in body parts alone, thats not even including the paint work. So I consider it a protection of my investment. This way I wont have to get parts repainted every so often like some do. One guy I know has gotten his karuma front bumper repainted like 4 times. Another example, 4 tires for my integra=$300, 1 tire for my infiniti=$360(285/30/20). So for me, it is definitely worth having two vehicles and not going through tires and paint work and better mpg. But like you said, to each their own

 

the only mods i plan on getting are the ones mentioned in my signature.

 

i also live 5 miles from base so normally my daily driving dont exceed 30 miles a day....once a year i drive up to pennsylvania to visit family..

 

Well then you should be straight, I drive alot though and all the damage from alot of driving drives me crazy...haha Good luck sticking to only your planned mods. Once the mod bug bites, you always want more. lol

 

LOL +1

I give him 2 weeks in the seat before he's looking for more

 

Yeah guys I don't drive a lot I mean I go to school and to work and hang out with my friends I'm not gettin another car this is my only one I don't plan on gettin a body kit but I do plan on gettin more minor mods of course! Its the fact that it has a turbo or super charger that scares me I mean I've been doin some research they only need some maintain if any idk we'll see

 

yea well i wasnt planning on mods than people are like i got this and i got that...i was like thats cool i think ill do that.

 

this is gonna be my only car, i drive to school, work and around with my friends nothin bad is gonna happen i hope lol but i have no plans on gettin a body kit but do plan on gettin like some minor mods of course im gonna wanna mod it, its a car. the only thing that im scared of is that the turbo or engine is messed up i mean physically it looks great but idk about the interals and **** but i feel that its definelty worth it cause on the car fax the person had like 3 tune ups so thats a plus i think the person be4 this took really good car and didnt really beat the car up

 

doesnt look too bad at all...but did anyone notice how the drivers side exhaust tip is hangin far out and down as opposed to the passenger side ???

and that it needs a new oil pan and rack and pinion proves the point it was driven pretty hard lol....but +1...id only get this if you have a nice stockpile of cash saved up in case turbo went up or engine blew....all of which are more "likely" not guaranteed when you FI a car....do u drive now? if so keep ur current car just dont insure and get rid of tags...so its not an "expense" then reinstate all those if something went wrong with G..."knocks on wood"

haha, have you ever drove a supercharged sports car in the winter?

hopefully you live somewhere that doesn't have snow because you'll be buying a new one first snow with a super charger.

it is WAY cheaper to have a second car. Double the gas mileage (double and then some in my case), cheaper to maintain (it costs 4 times as much to change the oil in my g then my hoopty accord), 1 tire on my g costs more than all 4 tires MOUNTED AND BALANCED on my accord....hmm....i pay 26$ a month for full insurance on my accord. it's just cheaper.

and to the original poster: you might know a lot about reading, but what are you going to do when you have no tools and no personal experience fixing super chargers? you can read all you want but you'll never just be able to do it like it's supposed to be done. I build race motors for streetbikes and MX bikes as a side job (mostly in the summers i travel with a race team). I have over 40k in tools and still find myself needing new tools to work on my G.

And this car has a supercharger, not turbo. If you look in the front picture you can see at the drivers side of the car where the intake goes where it is attaching to what looks like a ATI procharger to me. Vortech you would see the pulley's from that angle so i don't think it's a vortech. A turbo would have the intake running down and to the turbo by the exhaust and not attaching to something at hte front of the motor like that.

 

i have 2 cars....i was talking about for 1 person...i got 1 car for me and 1 for my wife.....it doesnt snow heavily in tn lucky to get more than 3 inches at a time....and no never had a supercharger and dont plan on it.
