    Good Bye Post

    Whelp this will probably be my last post considering the wife totaled the sonic two weeks ago. The car did its job and kept her safe which is all I can ask for. It was an amazing little car, we had just hit over 174K. Wish we could have gotten another sonic but the insurance didn't pay us...

    Turbski on a 1.8??

    Ok so I know I have joked in the past about a turbo kit for my wife's 1.8 and we came to the agreement it was not worth it due to costs etc. But I have the option to get a turbo off of a 1.4l (I know it's small lol) and the downpipe/intercooler/icpipes for like 75$. With that being said do y'all...

    Idea for site banner?

    So I am not sure if it has been suggested before but I think the SOF banner at the top of the webpage could use a little bit more spoofing up. Alot of the other forums on the web have customized banners that show some of their member's cars/trucks on it. I do not know how you would want to go...

    Build Plans!

    First time posting here! But I discovered this forum while looking for information on the wife's Sonic. I was wondering if anyone has put a turbo on the 1.8L? I snooped around a little bit but could not find much. Most of my time has been spent underneath the hood of my turd-250 with the 6.oooh...
