My baby. She let's me do everything to her. I love to get all up in her. Down and dirty style. Typical eg rear end.
Why the build? Because racecar hahah. Kind of not really. I have an older bro who owns a damn 500whp AWD 3000lbs eagle talon. And the only way I'm going to be next to him in a race from a dead stop is if I go to the dark side. Or maybe the light. Who knows. I had this setup in the front but even then 215whp and 200 torque from this long stroked 2.2 litre engine was causing too much traction loss and torque steer. I could literally do a burn out while car is rolling just gassing it in first gear and completely wasting first gear. No way will that keep up with an AWD especially from a dead stop. No way was I going to go AWD because I hate rotational mass and what it does with MORE ADDED weight. Also another reason why I'm a single cammer jammer. Anyways I'm building this in hopes that his AWD talon will hop on me on the dig but not too far then I'd overtake him around 3rd gear on up because he loses too much top end trying to power all 4 wheels. But of course my 2,300-2,500 lb hatch will need at least 420whp to do so but then, to me, HP doesn't win races TQ does. Its all thx to my extra 0.2 litres, long stroke, and good flowing oem head. These f22 flow pretty damn well I can tell you that.
