My Xplorers NEW look!!

[dtholmanmax]

I like the cross between street & offroad - not that it's really off-road, but it's not on 22s, either...

spoiler is for down force, the car only weighs 2250 LBS i have a diff spoiler goin on it thats all carbon fiber.

It has a GSR tranny auto to manual swap, B18, Turbonetics turbo tons of other perf. mods its making roughly 325 whp at 10 LBS and i did all this work myself, except for the orange paint job, i had a shop do that cuz i didnt want to waste expensive paint!!

just out of curiousity and with all due respect, why arent u spending more money on a engine with more cylinders? can push much more horsepower with more than 4

HP to weight ratio. honda making 350whp and explorer making 350whp whos gonna win? 2250lbs honda or 4600 lbs explorer. plus it handles like a ####in go cart and will smoke any SUV out. Plus the explorer is gonna be made to go SLOW and thorugh some decent ****, like mud snow, sand and ****


oh and still get 10 more miles to the gallon

haha no not in comparison to an explorer... why didnt u get like a V8 sports car like a mustang or a camaro Ls1 or GTO? much more horsepower, and although heavier, the power makes up for it... just curious

 

[02dubs]

The challenge i guess. taking a stock 100 hp car and swaping it turboing it and making it just as fast as most MODDED V8s and yet handle 10 times better i guess. for me its all about the build, i find that fun and very surprising to people runnig there TT V6's and V8s. I mean how would you feel if a 4 banger whooped your ass in a V8?? hahaha yea thats wut im goin for!!

 

[bigapple]

yea i guess but it just seems like such a huge investment for a 4 cylinder modded to beat a stock V8, although depending on what it is cuz i kno the LS1 stock isnt as fast as one would think... as opposed to a mustang supercharged (cobra. mach 1, gt500) or LS2 Gto or a C6 corvette or something along those lines, id say u got a run for ur money... and with a V8 u get a much more aggressive sound... sorry if it sounds one-sided... just not a huge fan of 4 cylinder imports

spoiler is for down force

If the spoiler is for down force. Would'nt that just pick up on the front of the car, therefore loosing traction?

 

[02dubs]

no cuz it adds about 90LBS of downforce over the rear wheels to keep it from it from sliding out around corners. Plus the front is also be pushed dwon at the same time, they really do help, just not the one you saw in the pictures, but the new one will

oh ok just wondering

 

[02dubs]

i forgot to mention that the amount of downforce will come with more speed!! but its more down force with out the weight!!

I liked how it looked before you changed it. LOL but it still looks good with the new package.


I need a honda for mileage...LOL
