Yeah, that's fine. I'd argue you would have had more fun spending $2k on coke and a hooker, but it's not like you expected the car to survive.

Oh no way we expected it to survive. We just wanted to have fun and we entered it into a burnout contest. I'll see if I can find the video.

Well, surprisingly their rating is pretty decent, given the "questionable" pricing and quality of their listing. I wouldn't risk it, but it's evident they do have satisfied customers.

How's that intercooler supposed to work? It's missing an outlet.

took a while but I found a video of the civic on the drag strip against the mustang. Burnout competition was right after this but no one recorded it apparently

This is not a Civic, where crap sticks to crap.
