prices look fine. it seems like they deal with honda engines more. k20 5500. b18cr 4400 or so. the price seems fine but i'd like to hand pick it first hand.

but what sucks about the car fad is we will most likely grow into it. and when we finally adapt to it, a new style comes out and we go asdf again. atleast that happened to me lol atleast 2 or 3 times haha.

i think i'll be modifying grey market cars for a pretty long time since manufacturers aren't producing any cars to my liking. g35 and all those new cars are nice but imo they lost their sports car feel. they're all getting closer and closer to 4000lbs. rx8 was the biggest disappointment ever! a few years back when i heard about the announcement i thought wow something worth buying. i may be able to get a new car finally

<thread hijack>KA-T, but I need to do a KA24DE swap into my car first, cuz I really dont feel like doing all that work on an SOCH when I get have a second big metal stick for about the same price (I'd need to rebuild my engine anyways) RBs are too much pain in the *** and not enough street-legalness.</thread hijack>

From a perspective standpoint, to at least a small degree, dont flipups limit engine bay space a tad? because of the mounting on an S13 it doesn't seem so but I've seen other cars that looked like they'd have a good deal more room under the hood without popups.

awsome. yea im just not much of a engine swapping kind of guy. a sr with boltons doesnt come close to a well built ka-t. adding a turbo lets you buy the parts piece by piece

I've seen quite a few reviews over at hondatech w/nothing but good news. I've called them a few times...i think they've been in business for quite a while, I'd say they are legit. I've kept the site under wraps for a few years now, but I just don't care about the engines they sell anymore

Thats all good but I wouldn't personally buy a motor that I couldn't go and see. Even places like Phase2 I wouldn't buy from without seeing the motor firsthand. Pretty recently I've seen people get f.ucked by Phase2 and JSpec. You could get an SR for that price but the only thing you'd be 'Garunteed' is a block, not necissarily a working engine

Pull out your light flip button, and cut the brown wire.You'll have to make them go up by turning them on, and then make them go down to the desired position using the button. They won't turn on when they're sleepy though.

Yep, you can make a switch, but I don't have much experience, and I didn't want to mess anything up too bad. I will eventually get the pivot controller, if I find someone who could install it for me.And thanks, hah, though I want to paint my car world rally blue in the future.

You can do it anyday after tomorrow as well. Remember rushing things usually breaks them. And writing in proper English would help us read easier.

Its called sleepy eyes, use the search and try some things like sleep eyes, free sleepy eyes, sleep eyes mod, head ligh mod, ect....There is a 3+ page long thread that had a few diffrent ways of doing it. Driving with the lights like that at night would be a bad idea, and illegal.

no, he's right. It needs to stop. No offense but no one wants to read that crap, its not easy on the eyes. If I'm not mistaken you said you're putting red HIDs into the car? Goog luck fighting all the tickets you'll get, because it will be just about a daily thing.

I'm sure a lot of the people who don't like to fix cars had problems with the pop-up headlights and the companies got a lot of complaints. They still look cool.

Wraith?! Are you kidding me?

An '80s movie starring Charlie Sheen as a murdered youth who comes back from the dead to street race the souls away from the people who killed him? You honestly think that's the best movie ever?

Wow...
