Nice, something different. No problem with it being a Cavi unless its got a fart can and a body kit lol You went the right way, even if some people say waste of money.

[blackcherryTSi]

What kinda hp are you shooting/hoping for?

[weshole]

Welcome. Nice to see something different around here. Hope to see ya around.

[dis_ill_usions]

I am shooting for 350whp, but I have seen other very similar builds get above 400whp

oh and its also getting tuned on E85 with 1100cc Injector Clinic injectors

[Slowica]

tuning is your friend. glad to see a cavi owner actually went the right way with the car instead of doing the usual mods you see on them.

[dis_ill_usions]

anyone know of anyone down here that knows how to tune with HP Tuners?

[capitlj]

Welcome. It is nice to see something different every once in a while. Now do what everyone else is doing and put an LQ4 in it

[dis_ill_usions]

lol yeah, ill get right on that

[zbrown]

like Tony said, cool to see something different

what breaks on those cars? axles? transaxles?

[99civic]

[dis_ill_usions]

^ AJ?

I have only ever broken one axle...powershifted into second and snapped the axle in half

[99civic]

Just be on the look out for the black and yellow cavi aka The UFO. He may try to run, and beat you, just ask Colton.
Old I know, but still worth a chuckle.

[kylush]

One of the coolest, if not the coolest cavi I've ever seen haha

I think I may have actually seen that car once or twice at my work...(Gateway Chevy)

[dis_ill_usions]

[vita]
