ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    matters what turbo you want.

    dont worry about brakes. if your that concerned, get hawk pads.

    clutch, yea, oem has to go. unless you baby the clutch and never shift/drive crazy. otherwise, its good to upgrade.

    manual tranny will take the beating.

    motor, again, matters what turbo. over 300hp, start thinking about forged bottom end parts, and top end, get a good cam.
    miss my turbo cb7
    moved onto volvos. dont know how that happened, just did

      The health of your current stuff is critical. If 121k is pretty young... but if the motor has been abused, turbo will only accelerate failure.

      You don't NEED to upgrade the brakes, as you aren't significantly increasing the weight of the car... but if you're going faster than before, you'll want to know you can stop! Good pads, as said above, would be a good choice at the least.



      Read up in the Forced Induction section of CB7tuner. There are a lot of things you can learn there. Check out the setups by Accord R33 (fairly inexpensive setup) and MRX (not as cheap, but more reliabile, and more powerful). Both are/were on stock internals.
