Oh Do not forget a head job , that will really help. You could also spring big money and stroke the motor. cseika 02-11-2005, 03:43 AM Agree LEDs and HID won't give power but perhaps it i will take some load off the alternator! Your car is alittle faster with lights off than lights on! Not really noticable but its there. Every little helps, considering we dont have much power to begin with. LEDs uses not only 1/10 of a regular bulb, and the 2 HIDs uses 35w each instead of 55w each. Theoretically it should take a lot of the loads off the alternator! only prob is that i can't justify the cost if its for performance. FOr pimping points maybe! squarepants 02-11-2005, 04:45 AM with all the money you going to spend to make this car faster it's better you all buy a fast car................. :rofl: aireck 02-11-2005, 06:03 AM XBs were not meant for speed.... thats why they came out with the TC... trade it in!! hotbox05 02-11-2005, 06:09 AM Does no one think of having an awesomely styled car and make it fast? If people wanted a tC they probably would have bought one. I love the style of the xB now Whats wrong with me dumping less than a 5th of the value to make it an awesomely fast uniquely styled car? aireck 02-11-2005, 06:13 AM if you have the funds ...more power to ya... i would if the funds were available to me ... i guess its back to that reason why fix up a civic ..?? but its so sweet when a civic can out run a corvette.... a viper ..... a ferrari.... just beautiful!!
