A few things on my mind.

For my first thought, I was driving my friends 93' VTEC Lude with an AEM CAI, Greddy SP Exhaust, and some other smaller mods. His car pulls a LOT harder than my stock 93' VTEC. VTEC seems to be stronger and the pull is a lot stronger. Hmmm. I need an AEM CAI and a Greddy Exhaust.


I was driving 2 other people in my car today and DAMN my car felt slow like a damn Corolla. I usually drive alone, but with 3 people total, it feels like the car has 50 hp. Does anyone else notice this? I ain't fat and neither were my passengers. The total weight for the three of us is under 400 pounds for sure. Does anyone notice this lack of power with more people in the car? And DAMN this heat spell in Cali right now. My AC feels like it's KILLING my power. My car felt like crap today. Damn...

if nothing else this should inspire you to hop up your car. do something to it. stock is nice but modded is better.

Yea, I concede we don't have the worlds best torque, but what do you expect with a 4 banger

I didn't notice a terrible power loss when I have two passengers, total weight about 550 lbs. (how in the hell did THREE of you weigh UNDER 400 lbs?! That's an average of less than 133 lbs per person). A/C does make a noticeable difference if the A/C indicator is on and it's going full blast.

I should mod my car, I really should... but I don't want it to sound like a vaccuum cleaner. And I'm poor.

Well, I weigh aroung 140, and my other 2 passengers were chicks. The reason the weight was light was because one of the passengers is only 11.

And plus we are Asain.

You are cracking me up Preludeguy27

btw, I felt the same way with my lude when I turned on my A/C while im driving though. However, I didn't feel that lacks of power with my lude when i have 1 or 2 more passenger in it.

I never noticed any Hoover similarities after modding my car. Odd.

I just cruise when I have more than a passenger, but I like how my exhaust sounds when I have 3 supermodels in the car

Keep it in VTEC when you're hualing passengers around. . I usually drive 2-3 other people around and my car doesn't feel like ****, just SLIGHTLY slower. AC does make a noticable difference, one more reason to rev higher .
