I won a car show...

Great to see you posting here! I responded to your PM, and owe you another response.

Congrats on the 1st place!
 
I'd love to know what was done/what engine is in there. Turbo'd/tuned? Just curious....?

Car has DC Cold Air Intake, RRE UnderDrive Pulley, Oil Catch Can. Factory MIVEC. Strut Brace, lowered on Eibach springs. Custom interior. Glow shift 3 gauge pod, all functional. Slotted and drilled rotors, ceramic brake pads. Apc Racing pedals, factory racing seats with custom covers. Probably some other stuff. No turbo. I did have her sucking on a 75 shot of nitrous, but not currently. All work done myself, in my driveway with hand tools.

That's great man. I did a fair amount of work to my 1.8T VW GTI when i had one. Tuned for extra boost, cold air, diverter valve, turbo back exhaust, short shifter, suspension stuff, crap like that. It was a really fun car. Definitely wasn't fast, but certainly was quick. The tune alone adds 30-40hp itself because the stock psi is set so low on the turbo. Bumped it up from about 7psi up to 18. Did 90% of the work myself as well or with a friend, it was very fun and rewarding doing that as a 18 year old. Someone hit me and totaled it years ago, almost a decade now. Loved that car though, even though it had a ton of issues. After that car I got a 2004 Honda S2000 though, needless to say that thing was more fun :)
