yup! It has coil overs on it, I should be able to adjust it. I am going to give it a crap load of wax this fall and get it washed every 2 weeks this winter. It was a DD before I got it. I made sure when I bought it, that it has seen winter before....other wise I would have felt bad buying it. :laugh: Lots of second gear launches will be my friend.

Launching in second would actually be worse. The tires would just spin faster :p

It would probably take 2-3 hours for dyno tuning (which is the reason he's going). That's not a bad price, what do they have for tuning products? SCT?

I have no clue, but I do know they have some bad ass racing vipers. :laugh: Would you be interested in coming up for some tuning?

Not really, my car is tuned good enough til I'm finished adding stuff :)

You should find out what products they use, SCT is probably the best for our cars :cool:
 
This is what they had to say
We do not have built in tuning on the dyno. We could only tune your car with whatever tuning software you have, like a stand alone or fuel computer. All our dyno does is measure torque, hp, and air fuel levels.

and about the cruise control? come on you wuse! the golf doesnt have cruise, and at first i was wishing for it, but its not bad without it. you get use to it! be a man, drive without cruise!

hmm, what car should i take to the cities this weekend? its suppose to be nice, and both cars are fun to drive. the fiero has cruise and the vw doesnt, but the vw gets better gas milage..... hmmm, decisions decisions :)

Half way on the gas is full throttle in this car....with this clutch it is a little tricky to get right. :laugh:
 
Well I started looking in the cities and it sounds like I might get a 2000 Exploder. :) I am excited. Only thing it doesnt have that I wanted was a sunroof, but I can live without it. It came from Las Vegas and has NO rust and is in really good shape. The dealer didnt have to do anything on it when they got it.
