Max Capacity Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Welcome to the forum. Sorry to tell you the bad news, buy a GT. Your the first one in a few month's to ask this, there was a time here when it seemed like every couple weeks someone would ask the same thing. We told all of them the same thing. Buy a GT. Or, how much spare cash do you have ? $6-7000 should get you there if your good with tools and have an idea what it takes to tune. These are not Honda Civic's. See my avatar, that's a1.6L single cam. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
