I FINALLY GOT TO DRIVE MY CA POWERED 180. after all the bs i put up with it was definately worth the wait. it sounds so sexy, you know you hear about how good they sound but you dont really know until its your own that youre hearing. i still have a little bit of kinks to work out like i need a new ecu and just little here and there things but no biggy. the car made 257 whp on 11 1/2 lbs. it has front mount, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, power enterprise t28, hks 264 cams, ssqv bov, spec stage 2 plus clutch(feels like silk), and tuned with an afc neo. thanks all of you for the advice youve given in the past and the advice that will be given in the future.

Your fellow CA Owner,Zach

not really sure to be honest ill have to do some research and get back to you on that one. awww i cant get over how the car sounds with the 264's in, i think the only way to describe it is sex on wheels lol. but all of you who may be reading this and thinking about selling your ca DONT do it. i was without my car for 11 months and it was totally worth the wait.

Im right with you man I picked up my ca over two years ago i got it for my first 240 than got a chance on a better shell with a crisp ka so got that swapped the ka into my first car drove that had fun than sold it so i could work on the fresh one and after getting the motor in i decided to go RHD witch has pushed it back even more. Im losing my mind just seeing it sit there in my garage waiting
