Why the hell would you want an automatic WRX?!? Or an automatic transmission in anything for that matter...

Yeah. What's the big deal about turbo lag? I think it's kind of fun. My buddy's old Audi S6 had all sorts of lag. But when it spooled up....... :eek: :thumb:

Same thing: I had a 2nd gen supra back in high school/early college. That thing had stupid lag until the turbo kicked...damn it was fun getting that ragged out little car sideways. Cheap, fun my little sister ended up blowing up. I couldn't of imagined it w/ an auto.

because an auto is easier to wheel without having to regear the diffs, tcase or add a crawler box.

d00d...you still have to regear. It's almost more necessary to regear an auto than a manual...

nitrous sprayer for the intercooler :) . engaged on 85%-or-more throttle, or when i hit the solenoid by slyly opening an ashtray...

Are you using it to cool the intercooler? We always talked about trying that back in the day - how does it work?

I figure spraying nitrous on the intercooler means it's not making it's way into the combustion chamber...

I like your euro horns. I have two myself on the deaert truck. Nice and loud, but few things are more effective than a good, solid nerfing.

yeah, nothing gets into the engine. it's all just to cool the intake charge indirectly by cooling the outside of the intercooler. it seems to work ok -- the IC feels cold after giving a little test spray here and there :D

We had popped around ideas of using freon (wouldn't have worked), but I'm glad someone's proved my theory.

Too bad Acura's don't hold up well to 12 pounds of boost - I don't think there are any more of them left...
