good start...coupe power!!!

 

[GreenThunder]

haha thanks guys . yea all go no show, yea my brother helped me out finding a good brand do choose from, orginally i was gonna get neuspeed racing springs but they were another 40 bucks that i didnt have lol. i was looking at some exhaust systems and wanted to know if anyone has or heard of the Espelir JGT 500R exhaust system, because i started saving up again to buy 3 things at once ((greddy headers, a full exhuast system and mugen rims)) is Espelir as good as they say they are?

 

[Blazed]

my bros GSR is pushin i'd guess bout 201 aroudn those parks. but im'a stick with the stock block for now, cuz theres a kid out here, im hearin is rippin people up. ((theres also anotehr dude with a evo8 my bro hasnt raced him yet tho)) but theres a few mods for the D15/16, i wanna try and aleast get 2 sumthin to the floor out of it stright engine power. i eman starting out with 106hp and getting to 200 is gonna b alot of $ but i think its worth it in the long run.

nice man, glad to see you're off to the right start by getting the suspension BEFORE the rims

Keep us updated...

 

[Machinehead115]

good start man, but u said u wanna get mugen rims but didn't want to spend an extra $40 to get the neuspeeds hopefully u mean rotas or somethin...

yeah the difference for springs might have been $40....... but the difference for mugens would be more like $1040

 

[GreenThunder]

http://www.robearracing.com/cat_mugen1.cfm naw im spending less than 600 bucks on mugens lol ((not including shipping)) my brother jsut showed me the site last nite. where always looking for hte best deals with the top name brands

 

[GreenThunder]

u jus repeated yourself... lol

 

[ShinsenTuner]

200WHP N/A on a D-series? it's easier just to swap a B-series in there and boost and make EASY 250+WHP

 

[chow]

looking good but you aint going to kill no stangs with that anytime soon with just i/h/e. swap swap swap.

Trust these people. Your bro's gsr and your soch y8 are two way different stories. His b18 will respond better to simple bolt-ons than will your y8 (at least thats what i've heard on here). Decide what you want to do with it. I stuck with the y8 because I don't need a lot of power or a fast car that will just get me in trouble. I know it's slow and V8 stangs whoop my ass.

Where in ohio are you? I work at a Honda Dealership in Lima and we get a lot of dealer trades from that MOTORCARS dealership? We are having a meet in columbus June 11th. You can find more info in the regional forum if your interested.
