it is just powder coat. The LIM has a high temp powder coat but its slightly diff shade of black. And the reason is becouse the downpipe runs very close to it.

Theres some comotion going on another forum, theres a guy that called us out on the 8. He has a 3/4 chassis starlet. What a guy . According to him his tranny ALONE is worth more than my 8 with everything I can possibly have. So we going to give him a little run for his money/mouth with the corolla. On the track ofcourse. I guess it makes him feel like a man calling out on my car, full bodied, full street with his 3/4 chassis cigarette box. **** , its like if I were to fight an 8 year old. How ignorant. My car has A/c for the love of God. probably weight 3 times as much as his car.. Ridiculous.. SO We are going Full throttle with the rolla.. To see what we get.. Money ofcourse could be an issue in the future, but so far that is the plan.
So its Rx8 vs. Starlet?? Starlets are fast if they got the right engine, they light as **** too. I pushed one with one arm lol Corolla should be a nice race, drop that 20b just for a run lol

No 8 vs starlet.. That **** is doing like 7.6 sec on the 1/4 miile. **** That should be anough to cover my gauges , fuel system and a couple of other little things. DEFF NOT my whole car.
And on the tranny, He has a g force, which is NOT a 50k tranny. Maybe 10 brand spanking new with all the bells and wistles. They quoted us 8 grand for a liberty, we are contemplating that idea.

So far this is a very good option. Again, price is the real factor. the rolla still needs lots of cash http://www.gforcetransmissions.com/tran_gf2000.asp

My once full wallet... lol
I got them last December. Everybody wanted almost $1000 for them. This guy put them on ebay, Christmas special, He had bought them and didn't use them. $400 shipped.
Maybe it was $450, not 100% sure.

That is a hell of a deal!! Those look custom, i only think that JIC had a setup and they were like 800-1000 for a pair.
Glad you got it, when you need something lmk i got plenty of good connections everywhere! :D
