just dont buy one, seriously haha. They are cheap for a reason, and that is because they are s**t. Everything you hear is true, and plus more I bet.

i installed 3 ssauto kits so far on civics, it is a cheaper kit, some last long some dont. some manis crack some people never have a problem. its all in manufacturing i guess. there products have got alot better in the past 2 years, thicker stainless and better turbos. the kits they sell are not complete even they say they are.

if you do a DIY turbo kit buy SRE intercooler piping 100% fit and all bends re there + bov flange pre welded on.

i dont reccomend the ssautocrome kits but somepeople do buy em. there a b***h ti install also. ive made more trips to the parts store and trader horn then who knows.

How did you rank KAZESPEED? I ordered lip spoilers from them last week. I have only received an email from them saying they received payment. No email sent about items shipped.

I bought vent shades from renovaauto_2005, they changed their name to renn-sport-accessories2007. They are on the car now. I also bought M3 power LED mirrors from gforceusa. I haven't installed them yet, but I did test them and they work. Put them on the good list. :smileyR: Also can anyone refer me to an ebay seller or website for side skirts?

Mark K2 motors down as bad/ugly. Ordered a set of mirrors from them and they were "direct fit"...hahahhaha. Not only were they NOT a direct fit, they were defective...there were bubbles in the plastic and scuffs in it as well. I contacted them to see what they would do (I NEEDED the mirrors...stupid deer and their obsession with cars...) as far as a possible partial refund or deduction on my next purchase...something to make up for my serious disapproval...but they told me the damages must've been from my "non-professional" installation of the mirrors, and that had a pro done it, they would've come OUT of the shipping box in perfect condition and fit perfectly on my car...because a pro is apparently a wizard that can turn crap to gold.

that manifold = assnutz
but you might have a chance if you get the turbo rebuilt/balanced off the bat
OOOOOhhh, nevermind then, BTW do you make custom turbo manifolds because it says something like that on your signature.

ok i got my turbo "KIT" from them.....yeah the mani went in to the garbage as soon as i got it.....went with a shorter log mani from midwest hybrid....now my turbo i got was a 84 trim hot and 50 trim cold T-04E P-trim.....so yeah....but im makin due with it for the time being....and about them being complete....hahahahaha funny s**t manis, questionable turbos, bov, wastegate, bunch of random parts (looks like they stuck there hand if a box of extra parts and gave it to me), no instructions on what bolts/nuts go where (self explainitory for me and most people tho) and i/c connectors and t-bolt clamps.......thats about it. personal opinion ....stay with a company that makes turbo kits and sells them complete....

anyone know about nrg motortrends??? i bought the type m.....or mugen kit (same damn thing) from them so far im very pleased they said it would take like a month to get to me and its only been like a week and its 6 hours north of me.....

ohhh by the way....i finially got my motor built and into the sol......ill get some pics up REAL SOON

Do not buy from streetracinglife. Those guys sold me a damage urethane lip. When I receive the lip has two big cracks at each side of it and they said me to contact usps, but how the hell an urethane lip that they say it will never break, can be broken from the shipping company. If the lip were made from plastic then I would believe them, but is an urethane lip. And thats not all, the edges of the lip are not very well trimmed and I dont like the fitment. Then they didnt want to answer me and I leave a very bad feedback and they do the same for me.
