Thats what I thought Haltec was. The only problem is that If i did decide to go stand alone I would have NO EARTHLY idea as to what I was doing.

And what about they supercharger. Do they even make them for the 1.5?

Here's an idea just buy a CRX with a blown motor (500) bucks and then buy a gen1 B16A1 engine from ARD Performance 1300 bucks and have low 14 second quater miles all day long. or buy a ZC engine 900 bucks and a 1200 buck greddy non-intercooled turbo and run high 13's.

Go to Skip Barber or Bob Bondurant and learn how to really drive. If you can't go fast with 90hp, 900hp won't help you.

corksport sells jspec pistons as well as Mazdaspeed compression pistons for 1.8L and 2.0L engines. Does anyone know the compression ratios for these pistons respectively?

I agree with Dean here, go to one of these top-of-the-line driving schools and learn something that'll be with you beyond your car.

I know if I had that kind of cash that's what I'll do...

Why would I go to a driving school when all I want to do is street race? (you know... stop light to stop light) maybe I dont know what i'm talking about, but I dont think it takes a driving school to do that. All I want to do is at least reach 130 horses or so and I will be satisfied.... kinda.

I'm just suggesting what you COULD do, and what I WOULD do with $2300 to spend

or, since you're just gonna do stoplight-to-stoplight drag, you can hook it up to a bottle of N2O, instant 130+hp whenever you need for less than $1G!

then you can spend the rest of the money on anything you want!

I sat here for fifteen minutes trying to come up with reasons why but gave up. You're right...driving school for you is a waste.

I knew someone would say, "Its so you dont crash into people and kill them. Dont RACE on public ROADS!" When I wrote about the street racing I knew it would be coming. But you know what i mean. I just want a little more punch under my hood.... WHO DOESNT???
