New Xfire Owner and New to boards
Re: New Xfire Owner and New to boards
But then again I never said "can't".. think it was more along the lines of "educate yourself" before making statements of greatness to come. But then again I'm more along the lines of not ripping my car apart to rebuild it at the cost of 5 grand for an extra 100 HP. They make cars already you can just turn the ignition over and be there.
Re: New Xfire Owner and New to boards
Very true on ripping the car apart, but if someone has the money and is willing to do it??? I am happy to live my quest for power through someone else's work and wallet, lol. I surely will not try to make them give up. You go man!!! haha. Wish you the best!
Re: New Xfire Owner and New to boards
I'm all for your efforts. Please keep the forum posted!
I read a post earlier that discussed the more mods for horspower= more chasing weaker parts on the engine that was not designed for more HP.
I like mine stock for the most part. Heck, it's a wonder I haven't got a ticket yet....gotta slow down!
Thanks for all on this forum!

Re: New Xfire Owner and New to boards
Welcome new member.
I'm recently new here also.... 2 weeks...
And I've found a wealth a knowledge and made a few good friends here too....
Any one In DORSET / HANTPSHIRE England ?
I've been following HID lamp mods here, got some news to share on the units I got from e-bay, and they're brilliant to say the least.
Re power mods,
I'm keen on extra power, but also believe in the huge amount of $$$£££ spent by manufacturers is for a good reason..... I mage a simple $60 improvement with K&N engine air filters to replace my clogged standard parts...... the improvement was significant imediately....
Power was ther ebefore but seemed all torque, now my machine has a power band that leaps in at 2,000 rpm and is ferocious thru to 6,000..... LOVE THIS CAR.
Have fun, stay safe

Re: New Xfire Owner and New to boards
i say more power to you, if you say you can figure out a way to crank out an extra 100 ponies, by all means go for it and i will root you on and help in any way i can , i want 100 more horsies, though i find my car difficult to tame as it is ! and im not a totally inexperienced driver!
Re: New Xfire Owner and New to boards
You may be onto something MrM.
Actually, I'm very satisified with the way my bone stock car performs, but I know there are lots of NA owners that want more power.
I think the easiest way to put a NA into the 13's is to defeat the computer and find a 3.91 or 4.10 gear that will fit. (Or put it on the bottle).

She seems to really be liking these 45-50 degree days.
Maybe that's why I can be so patient about seeing the turbo kit all the way to the end.. whichever way it ends.

yeah im sure the bashing got to him. cant blame him , i found some rough news last night, i did a 0-60 on my car.. low miles 40k on it , so still new . AFTER the eurocharged tune , she did the 0-60 in 7.23 seconds , lets factor outthe .23 for my human delay and she did seven seconds.... ROUGH man rough lol although i had a feeling thats what it would be at since im not at sea level , your guys's thoughts?

Re: New Xfire Owner and New to boards
mine is an automatic, i would think a second gear start would make do the time a bit slower? im going to try it anyways today, my car as an automatic wont spin the tires on launch ever, unless im taking a turn , then i power slide, for comparisson though i ran our 300m and it did the accelration time in 8.88 seconds shave a few off for human delay 8.5 , and my toyota highlander 4wd in 13.33 seconds... my crossfire is still the quickest of the three, i just cant get it in the acclaimed 6 second range, although i think thats the Arizona height above sea level doing its thing
Re: New Xfire Owner and New to boards
This arrogant sob thinks he went out and bought a Mustang GT500 and never returned. It's ok to dream....but that was the only way he was going to get 100hp less the nitrous. I now wish after 4 yrs of modding I would have bought another ZO6....too late now...but the reading I had to do is still on-going in finding more HP...and that was all that was stated to the kid. Read up, then make your decisions on how to go after another 100hp...If that was arrogant, then so be it....
But it would have saved him a lot of time and money to have done some reading first....and I would think that is what gearheads do, save each other time and money having been there done that already...
