Down here in NZ if we build a screaming 4AGE we put it to good use... no showboating on public roads !!
Read this article and watch the vids...

Folks don't buy Porches, Lambo, vettes, Hot EVs, build street beasts, hi-po motorcycles.... and not "flex" em on the street
Not reality... been a "way of life" for decades. "Good use" is subjective. Many would consider that something you can 'enjoy' every day

Here is another sweet turbo 4AGE 16V, that's NOT putting his to good use either. Luv it! :lol:

with those over-the-top builds, you spend alot of money transforming a 4AG into something unrecognizable
Destroy a street car in the process, evolving into a loud uncomfortable tin-can, all for.... very limited "good use"
I wonder if even 0.1% 4AGE 'enthusiasts' can relate, or commit to such. As the saying goes, "To each his own" :lol:

Nothing wrong with a "mild" 150hp 4AGE. There is something to be said for stuffing your foot into it, smiling, and not getting a ticket.

Those samples are so far off-base, for even most advance enthusiasts
That Levin is a billet showcase for Bazdas' products $$$$. His effort off the scale. Huge tires.
You throw enough money..... yada, yada. Is this "extreme" enough for ya ?

Yeah... doing stuff on a budget is cool too. Here is something you can do on a bike...

Probably a bit of extreme for you, but at least the bike can do corners :D :D

manufacture your own 'fun', aye. Looks like a blast. Camera got the best seat in the house
Calories, and the bike you can get 'on a budget'.... but surgery is expensive

4AG cover a wide range, that should satisfy nearly every enthusiast
From your 150hp healthy 4AG.... to a competent GZE... to your basic turbo add-on to a basic 200k mile blue/redtop/20V
A turbo/mani/exhaust + pipes + fmic + clutch + standalone... can knock 4 full seconds off a street GTS. Tremendous gain
