Penile implants for Gen Auto? For shame. 😛 Wider tires eh? Yeah that makes sense. How wide of a tire can you put on her now? Would it be worth it? ---

1 or 2 only if you get wideass tires to fit. If he does, that counts as gofast parts to me. ---

we all know tires pull track times down more than adding power (since tires help with stopping and turning whereas power only help with acceleration and only if you have the tires to put the power down in the first place) so I say go with the mod that will make you faster – flares and tires OR no mods and a bunch of real track days. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > Penile implants for Gen Auto? For shame. 😛 > > Wider tires eh? Yeah that makes sense. How wide of a tire can you put on her now? Would it be worth it? Worth it…Meh. I would be running a 14x8 and people have gone up to 14x9.5 on them. And I would be upgrading the wheels to fill the flares, shit would look silly if I didn’t And yeah, bigger tires and more track time would make me faster blah blah i am theblue blah. That is a given. Not asking for what would make me faster. with the piss poor amount of power the 1.6 has, Any jump in power would make it a good deal faster on the track. effin 98 hp… Just bored and making polls, I am likely to do the C cup and boost. It really wasn’t, “I can only do flare or turbo I am broke!!!” More like, How much should I flare this thing and should I break my motor first? Only trick is, C cup. In black plastic instead of lame ass white? Can they make it for me… Would be a selling point. ---
