bobross? as in the painter?

nice car! what do you use it for, just autocross?

[2k2civicSi]

NICE!!!!!

[95 GSR]

SWWWEEEEEEEET!!!

u do any roadracing?

[BobRoss]

I have done a little ov everything, autocross, road/track racing, drag....

not the top dog at anything, but always up there.

I think if i concentraded on doing one of the 3, i would have better results, but to be honest, i just dont care. I built the car for my enjoyment, and to have fun (read: get me into trouble) on the street.

Thanks for the kind words.:cool:

[Heitzke]

Very nice car, but one request. Can you at least give a little run down of what the running gear consists of? I like to know whats goin on inside the engine bay.

[silver ep]

[IceD out N CALI]

How do you like that IC? Is it pretty efficient?

I'm considering doing the same for my car.

The core i am using (from jackson racing), is about as inefficient as they get (I was expecting a lot better from a name like JR). The style of ic though, being a water>air, is VERY efficient, and i would reccomend it to everyone.

If you do decide to go water>air, put the water tank somwhere other than the engine bay, i heatsoak rather quickly because of the fact that my tank is under the hood :mad:

sweet car man

My transportation needs have gone from -1 to about 9. As i was dorming on campus, i used the car only as a toy to work/play with, now i have to comute (30-40min) every day, i need somthing reliable, and good on gas. As fun as it is, the gti is neither.:mad:

[Heitzke]

Very nice once again, thanks for the mod list. By the looks of the engine bay, i would have had no idea so much was going on in there. Man, those 16s look like 18s on that car. Nice work.

[Dunrick]

I love MkII/MkIII Gti's

very clean. I saw a 2.0 turbo at my local drags in a MkIII. Pretty cool stuff...

by the way as far as gas mileage is concered with the ep3. With i/h/e I get better than stock (31 mpg) while dogging it ALOT. Good luck with the ep3 purchase

[CleanBlackSi02]

So what are your plans for the Si?

[BobRoss]

Plans for the SI?

Coilovers and Tires are a must. i will probibly hook up my wet kit as soon as i hit 1000 miles... other than that, i will keep it stock tilll i can do a serious swap.... still deciding on what im gonna do there.

in the looks department, i havent really seen anything i am goin crazy for. personaly even the CTR kit is to bulkey for my taste..... hopfully i can just find a nice textured lip/skirt kit.

[golferjn]

nice car. nice pics. cool little gti

Those BBS wheels wouldn't happen to be 4x100 would they?... and if they were... how about selling them this ways?
