Couple new pics of my Forte Koup

It's no LNF, but this is about as decent as you can make these cars look, I figure...

Powertrain sucks but it will hold me over till I can get an LNF... but I need to wait for my insurance to come down from $5,700/yr

nice pics and it looks very clean. Honestly it looks like a newer model SI with much nicer looking body kit.

Yeah it doesn't help that the spoiler I got is pretty close to the Civic. Oh well. Just needs to get my ass to school and back.

2.0L n/a, about 155 hp, 6 spd manual. Higher level is the 2.4 with 6 spd, about 172 hp.

Also just found this pic of my first balt, can't remember if it's posted on this forum or not.

used to like 'em, now more of less annoyed by them lol. Yours looks pretty, legit/tight though . I test drove a 2.4 6speed awhile back, I did enjoy it, lacked power but nice cars.

Just a ran a 17.1 @ 82 on Friday! That was my first time at the track though, it's probably capable of 16.5 or better. But yeah, that sums it up.

Looks nice. Sometimes it's hard to tell the Koup from a Civic from a far distance.

Dunno if it's how they're tuned or what, but both the 2.0 and 2.4 have this lag when going wot into 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. It's like ruthless turbo lag, but there's of course no turbo.

I know what you mean.... It takes like 2 seconds for it to actually kick in. So annoying when you're trying to pass someone then you realize it's too late because my car didnt go when it was supposed to... :/

Power enrichment maybe? Like on the 2.2? Felt like a different car without it.

It's different than the fuel enrichment... that was nothing compared to this. Feels like the TB takes 2 secs to open. Like it wants you to think about do i really need to use more gas. lol
