Messing with a ricer car in san diego(2003 Kia) OK, this is gonna sound kind of rice, but thats the point. I hate ricers so bad, I am gonna make the most rediculous looking one out there.
I have a 2003 Kia spectra. I want to turn it into an anti-rice machine. Its gonna have the big ol wing on it, plastic roof scoop. Welded hood scoop, stuff like that.
However, since I have in my posession 2 intake manifolds, and 2 throttle bodies, I want to try and make a Kia with 2 throttle bodies. I need someone who knows how to weld, and has a little bit more of a fabrication background to help me with this process. Obviously I will have to retune it, esecially since I plan on eliminating the other O2 sensor, so that I can weld up my own iron exhaust manifold. Creat a 2 to H to duel pipe exhaust setup. Its gonna look sooooo stupid. But thats the point. I am in san diego and would like someone to help me out with this.
Suggestions on what to do to the car are more than welcome. As well as extra stuff that you have just laying around.

Here's what you wanna do....
Remove as much of the sound deadening and interior carpeting as possible, including the rear seats, etc.
Cut a whole through the firewall and route the intake to feed from inside the cabin. Once you've done that, remove all the windows from their doors, put NASCAR mesh in the driver and passenger side windows, and weld all the doors shut.
Proceed to delete the muffler and route it to a dump at the rear suspension.
After that, do like you said with the hood scoop, but instead of a weld-on, grab one of those Mustang GT ones that just 3M-tape on, and cut a hole underneath it to cool the exhaust manifold, because face it, it's gonna be ******* hot in this car.
Then, gut the A/C and all extraneous elements from the car. Then, get some nice steel wheels and some BF Goodrich Radial T/As or Road Hugger GT's and mount them with the white lettering out. Finish off the car with Grand Sport Corvette blood stripes across the front driver-side fender, and you're ready to go!
I've wanted to build a rat-racer myself, which explains my response compared to the others....
lol

I think that I will go with one of those fake GT ones. But I think that I will try to make it somewhat functional.

rig the backup TB with a string to operate it, and hook the string up to a climate control ****. when someone asks how it works tell them you pull the **** off and pull for more hp.
