Hey Bogus, you have a nice sonic man. GO 1.8! lol. I'll be honest, i went to buy a 1.4 when i bought my sonic. but at that time they were very rare to find. so i went with the 1.8. Love it! its faster than my previous car. thats all that matters to me. Yeah i would love to have had the 1.4, but im going to make this 1.8 worth my while. even if it does take time and cash to do it. everyone has their own prefrences when it comes to modifying stuff. myself. i like to take the dog and make it into a beast. more fun. anyone can mod a turbo car and make it fast. but to take a car that starts out decent and making it awsome is where the reward is. thats my thoughts on the matter. keep up the good work BOGUS. Im getting me a Magnaflow system too this spring. cant wait to get it put on!
