its a heavythrottle hot pipe that is powdercoated, i just blew my headgasket and i think my rings are bad so i'm goin to pull the motor and rebuild it, i just took some pics last night before i started taking it apart, i'm goin to do a few more things to it, like maybe topmount, T3T4, and stuff like that, if anyone wants a good SR T-25 let me know

nope, the aero bumper is a new edition. i found it laying in teh corner of a shop when me and a friend went to go pick up his CA clip, you'll never guess what i got it for, the guy didn't know what he had. incase any of you are wondering why all the pics were takin inside of the garage, i blew my headgasket and there are a few otehr things that i need to fix like and oil pan leak. so i'm goin to pull the motor next week and start the rebuild process. hopefully i'll have it up and running by the end of feb though. i have my old K's bumper in the for sale section on here, and Freshalloy if anyone is interested, i'm also selling a JIC front strut towerbar on FAJIC carbon fiber strut tower bar K's bumper i need to sell thoes to help pay for my rebuild, thanks for all the coments, if anyone wants more pics of the bumper or strut tower bar let me know

ok, so how much did that aero bumper cost you? now youve got me interested. please tell me 25 bucks cuz that would own. good luck with the rebuild man, and ill take the sr t25 if its free (im as poor as a homeless person right now). i guess the heavy throttle hotpipe works because youve got the sr t25? correct me if im wrong. i would have thought the engines would locate the turbos at least a little bit differently.

well i paid 100 bucks for the aero bumper, jspec just sold one for like 600 + shipping, when i saw that i was like oh yea, the hotpipe fits pretty good, but you have to sorta play w/ it alittle to fit properly, it works fine, i'm almost positive that the turbo's are in the same position, but my motor came w/ an SR turbo and i've only glanced at others for comparison. i have two SR T-25's, i've run both on my car, i thought the first one was bad cuz i had alittle oil come of the the bov, so i put the other one on, and it did the same thing, and i know 100% that the 2nd turbo was perfect. i think that has something to do w/ my rings being bad or something like that, so i asume the first one is good too. if anybody is interested in them let me know, i cant give them away i have to fund my rebuild somehow. and i plan on getting a nice paint job some day, prob over the summer or something, as you can see i have two holes cut into lower front of the aero, i think i may try and get the bomex lip for the aero bumper like on teh Jspec car because it would cover thoes holes up. but i have many more things to do before that. its a work in progress and its killing me, i only had it all together and running for alittle over 2 months and it was down for like 2 or 3 weeks total since then, i'm goin broke over this stupid thing, haha. but its fun. :D , and again thanks for all the coments, and someone please buy my stuff, haha
