That's when the max power stuff doesn't make sense to me. =) I do see both sides of it though. I'm just a simple dude.
word.
I consider myself a simple guy too and i know what you mean man. all i wanted to say was that, Even tho a car may have alot of HP, if driven a certain way, traction shouldn't be a problem.

But why Build a hp car if its not going to get driven to expose its power? lol. idk why people do that.

Just to know the powers there when you want it.. Or to spank some ricer on the highway cause he thinks your cars got no balls.. i have a gsr in my coupe and I dont really "expose its power" alot unless I feel like playing around..

200whp with boost is my goal. Reasonable but still fun.

thats a lil different than a boosted k-swapped car. With a simple bolt on K, i'd be like you as well...mostly low key until i feel like having a lil fun.

i'm honestly anxious to see it, i'm also curious as to what it would look like on a short throw shifter with like a .5-1'' reduction. make it happen mang!

I think i might get a FD2 shift boot collar or something. I have a bootleg shift boot at the moment (came that way in the car) but anyway...here's a couple of crappy photos i took real quick






Threw my center caps on just for a different look for awhile


got rained on =(






.....and that's it. Got a ASR subframe brace on the way.....still undecided on a sway bar, but i figured i'd blow some money on bling anyway :what: At least i'll be prepared if i decide to go the sway route.

Oh man child.. looking good! ASR Subframe brace FTW! I love mine on my e.g. hatch. I got the 23mm sway bar with it and painted it to stick out. Everyone loves bling blinking suspension parts!

Every time I see pictures of this car (especially of the bay) I'm blown away with how clean it is.

Love the shift knob! I see what you mean about the boot though... looks meh....

BTW, what lens are you using in the photos? I thought Flickr would show the lens, but it just shows the body...

I gotta figure out what i want to do about the shift boot. I know its not horrible, but it just doesn't look right either. Like its out of place. The lens used for those pics are: Sony SAL18-250 DT zoom (first 3 pics) and Sony SAL 50F14 prime (rain shots) I tend to use my 50mm prime a lot just because its fast and light.

I dig the new shift knob. Shift boot doesn't look half bad like that.
Thanks =)

Trying my best to keep this thing clean. I've wanted a EK hatch since my high school days lol.

Get either the 24mm ASR or the ITR sway. Might as well go big if you have the brace already.

Yeah Im the same way with my 50mm.... Right now I find myself using the 50mm then the 55-200mm SAM, then the 18-70mm kit lens... I gotta look into the 18-250mm...

The shift boot doesn't look horrible... it just looks oversized... but hell, I drive a bone stock hybrid... what do I know =):lol:
