That $200 can be better spent elsewhere, like general maintenance, wheels, tires, gas...

Well I haven't been doing to much to my car. It's been running a little rich for a while now. Trying to get that fixed. I also purchased a Turbo manifold today for 70 bones. Here are some pics!

That manifold looks nice, but take it to an exhaust shop to have them check the welds, egay manifolds are notorious for having manifolds that crack or have welds that break. Is it a T3-T4 or a T25 mani? I'm all for dropping a turbo in the KA, want to do that myself, but make sure you get everything you need before you throw it on. Source yourself another oilpan and have someone weld an oil feed and oil return bung into it, get yourself some better flowing fuel injectors (the OEM SR ones should work fine for a small turbo) and make sure you have the something to monitor your A/F ratios. I'd love to put a Holset turbo on my car but with the cost involved I am waiting to have the money to do that plus get a quality rebuild on my KA first, so pretty much never.

Well it is dark now so I went back out and snapped off some pics of the new key ring light.



And I just thought these ones were trippy, camera was not wanting to take pictures correctly without flash.

Well still waiting for my other piece to come in the mail.

But I need your guys's opinion should I get some 16x8 xxr 002's that are all polished, from a local guy? What do you think they would look like on my car, because I have eibach sportline springs not coils.

Let me know.

I personally dont think those wheels look that bad, Yeah they arent brand new or riced out but they can grow on ya.

Looking forward to some updates!
