For me its building something that shouldnt be that powerful and making it so but its as much the journey and the lessons you learn along the way.
For those that have been in a 350+hp ek civic theyll know they really arent slow lol
The first point is exactly how I see it. A very close friend of mine owns an MX-5 pushing out 300KW (at the wheel, through the 1.8L engine mind you) in a completely stripped out 900KG driverless car.
I've never driven it personally (and don't wish to), but as the passenger feeling boost come and the external gate open is all smiles for me, I can't stop laughing. Especially in a car known for hairdresser jokes, and not nearly as well known for being fast.
That MX-5 was basically my inspiration for the turbo in the first place, the fact that you don't see them often here in Australia let alone any serious civic build. But now that I've seen there's actually a huge following for this sort of thing it's made me less hesitant and I'm hoping I'll be able to share that experience here.
