Ok I helped z1king install his brakes today and hector showed up and lent a hand... I got to see his new wheels and they look really good for being 20s. They flow with his car well. They are 20x8 front and 20x10 in the rear . Not sure the offset but they fit flush..... So shady you can sell him the strut bar lol....

**** man, sorry I couldn't make it, I worked from 2PM Saturday to 5AM Sunday morning putting Dario's Integra motor back together so I slept all day Sunday. We installed new Brian Crower valves, Brian Crower Cams, cleaned and rebuilt the head, installed a new Blox intake manifold, Blox larger throttle body, Ebay hot air intake, head gasket, timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, cap, rotor, ICM, and changed all the fluids. That little B18B1 screams now.

Yeah it was a bitch but at around 10PM we got the head back on and then just made the decision that we were going to get it fired up that night so we drank a beer and had some pizza and then got back into it . I have some SARX decals if anyone is in need.

Nope silver only. I'd like to limit the colors, I don't want someone coming and asking for pink or some **** and gaying up the SARX image. The vynl used by grungepups supplier is very good and has held up to the test of time. Mine still looks great after a couple of summers and a million washes.

I think if they are the color of the car (like Missy's) it's cool but I know if we open it up to any color it won't be long before someone wants orange, pink, rainbow, or some other florescent color.

still thats 10-11 whp? Might as well get some SR pulleys they add 12 whp! SHIITTTT THATS LIKE 22 WHP! Screw a turbo...

Sorry I'm trollin hard today I'll stop...

The best and only way to run a proper header would be to flange match/port and fit some long tube headers on that flange. Of course you'd need to get everything else int he exhaust stream fitted. To do it proper would be a $600 ish project including labor/parts...

I got a boost bros header, the design is identical. Theres really not much different you can do given the amount of space.

Exoticspeed/RB/boost bros/turbo xs/ebay.

The designs should be pretty much the same, only different is grade of metals used/welding quality.
