Iam please to say that Dee has done it again!! I've watched and felt Dee's sentra perform and it performed like a dream.. Now I have a dream of my own to drive, thanks to the CA man himself. I had the honor of driving the car around tonight just to waste time and it was a blast. To be honest, the car is not fully tuned and is still under small restrictions, ie: timing is set back and suspension is on the way.. So i haven't really felt the car's actual potential but by the way it performed while testing it on 10 psi, and then fixing the boost controller to the point where it reached 24 psi, the feeling is incredible. I dare any honda to step to me. LoL! But with still little few things to do to this monster, i can't wait to see what happens next..(possibly dyno) who knows.. Stay Tuned!!

PS- Dee, You're The Man!!

Good to hear another CA is running. Get some vids of it if you can, there's not enough of them, we need to show the world the light! haha.

Off Topic: Rookieca18det, what did you use to paint your valvecovers? Did you powercoat them, anodize them, or rattle cam them? What color specificially did you use?

blue engine rattle can paint (heat resistant kind) from advance autoparts. I dont remember the exact color, but was kind of a light blue(im sure that doesnt help ). Sorry but it was a while back. It looks pretty ugly compared to how it was when it was first done. Might do it over next weekend, so if i find the same color I will be sure to post it.

But we all definately need to throw a BIG CA BBQ, or even just 240's period.
