A black, base model 09-12 Honda fit? I have one of those!

I sold my crazy rig. I put countless hours and close to $2500 in it over the years, and I only got $900 for it. It was great but I eventually lost interest in PC gaming; I was spending more time tweaking things to make them "perfect" than I was actually playing games. I also blew up a video card (due to a poorly made…

Indeed. Saab's have low scrub from the factory, but given some (a lot) of extra torque, they basically try to kill you. Exhibit A: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iMR3vK…

Less than 1500? Damn son. 9K aero's are such a ridiculous value. So far I've fixed: water pump, fan switch, battery cables (the rubber came off and they shorted on the chassis, good times), oil pressure sender, front main seal, hood and trunk struts, serpentine belt.

I bought a beater 94 9000 aero from a Saab repair shop for $1500. Love this car so much. Previous owner straight piped it, its loud as hell. Some work to do before its daily driveable, but its great anyways.

A classic compound setup. Looks pretty compact, considering. Here's a homemade compound turbo setup on a second gen mitsubishi eclipse, which makes 700hp across a wide powerband:

I'm sure she looks wonderful without digital aid. It's sad when hollywood actresses can't meet hollywood's standards.

You do know that it's hyperbole, right? It's not actually "horror" that some dude mixed up two popular rap artists with a shared word. The dude's twitter reaction to it however, implies that he's horrified at his mistake, and that's hilarious and definitely jez-worthy.

The good holset for high revving 4 bangers seems to be a super 40 with a hy35 turbine housing.

Arguably, you can say "never ever buy a new honda fit" but I bought mine as a base model manual, cheapest they had. My reasoning: sport model weighs in at over 100 lbs more, and is really just fog lights, rear spoiler, body kit, and alloys.

They're wonderful bang for the buck, but so are used big holsets, and those have good burst containment and known reliability.

God I love that dentist drill turbo sound.

Scratch that just saw it's an auto. Crack pipe all day long

What are manual sc's going for these days?

That is now my desktop background.

Pull it out for weight reduction!

Transmissions on the other hand... 2-3x more torque = heavier clutch needed = more driveline shock = shredded gears, eventually. The saab dudes do have issues with that if they don't baby their shifts.

Depends on how healthy your tune is. The T5 motor saab dudes are tripling their horsepower on stock internals that have already seen 250k+ miles, without issues.

Doesn't even need a busa swap.
