[SoCal-S13]

Where'd you buy the E code lights at?

from our parts guy we get most of our mercedes stuff from. lmk if you want some I think mine were $110 for everything you need. bulbs and all.

[Razi]

Hmm.
Tempting!

[dgms240]

[SoCal-S13]

[SoCal-S13]

chose to do the motor before paint. chill out haus I got this.

[pj]

geat real paiiint wahh!
primer waaahhhh!!!
socal leave that s*** primer black forever if you want...nothing wrong with hotrod black at any stage of development.
punks.

[SoCal-S13]

now there's a huge difference between flat black and black primer. I mean it is what it is tho. as long as you have the intent of painting the b**** who cares how long you rock the primer. looks better than havin bondo spots visible on top of f*cked off flaking paint.





id have no complaints if my s*** was flat black

must be how many rx7 owners feel

[project213]

^ Lol, Gotta love the ka, I had my front main turn into string cheese n spray enough oil that when i stopped at a light you could see it running out from under my car mixed in the rain water, and had to finish a 30 min drive to get home then another 15 to get to my shop and it ran fine the whole time.

Theres most certainly KA Love comin from me.

my argument in the ka vs sr comes from firsthand experience. I've had two kade's both over 210k miles and not a single problem. I don't abuse my cars, but I do have fun. lots and lots of fun, and the ka is down to party.

between 3 of my friends they went through 7 sr's last year alone. 7...I dunno bout you but I prefer having a motor I know will kick over even under rough circumstances (like when I drove with a blown radiator hose, or busted a mission with a dime size hole in the oil pan). the ka may not be the fastest or most powerful or the most fun, but when the s*** hits the fan you know your ka's got your back.

[SoCal-S13]

ordered an rps13 center section for my tail lights today. ive got a pile of new s*** sittin here and my car is STILL not back yet. well at least ill be busy when i get it.

[project213]

7 srs. thts a little rediculous

[project213]

The ka is for sure a reliable platform with great potential. As well as an awsome motor for dailying and playing on the wekkends. thats why im set on keeping mine for a good while.

But thinking maybe an N/A rb with itbs when im ready to swap

[SoCal-S13]

holy shyt. it has arrived....






they should have emphasized on how perfect it was. i was expecting a somewhat worn wheel. absolutely impressed. ill definately be ordering more stuff from them.

[project213]

Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty. love how the cars comin along man. looks great

[SoCal-S13]

thanks man. lookin to find a header for my car atm. gonna do some research on the egay ones. yeah theyre probably cheap but if they hold up for a decent amount of time i might get it. sooner or later im gonna boost it so its gonna be temp. almost bought a dc sports one but it was hella expensive

[Razi]

For N/A? Or turbo?

I'm gonna send my SR manifold to Motoman pretty soon to get the super stealthy manifold made, once I get it back I won't have a use for my Megan bottom mount.

[SoCal-S13]

n/a header is what im looking for right now
