where did you get the tail light covers? My dad wants something like that for his project car he just bought. I think hes on a mission to rice it out for car shows. Looks good though.

Nice man How's it running !?

good too bad it's in the garage. Pulling the battery tomorrow. The car is officially in storage for the winter in my g/f's dad's heated garage. I can't even enjoy it lol.

I bought the car with them on. I'm actually on a mission to make the car a little cleaner. The tails are being replaced soon. Sorry I can't help

why is it that people tend to not boost their type r's i know there is a reason but i dont know why...from what little i know about engines (i do mean little) wouldnt it be a good motor to boost becuase of the stock strong internals???

 

[xdr3amx]

One reason is the compression ratio is too high it's 11:1. Mst people also prefer forged and stronger pistons and a ration of 8 to 9. I think people get it for a bling factor and they rather not touch it as well. like somthign nice to have and not touch but still a good engine on it' s own.

i dont understand any of that....im going to go read about it..

On top of that there are people who don't like forced induction because they consider it "cheating". I've gone back and fourth on the whole boost thing and I think I've made up my mind on not. Too much money for me.

boosting cheating???
thats just crazy talk

if you want power boost is the only way,not to mention cheapest.but not on a stock itr.

I have always feel that people who want boost just like going fast and going faster than people. But one who builds a all motor engine loves the mechanicand engineering part of a car. SO in a way people who like boost likes going fast. A person who loves a car goes all motor. Going boost you dont' care if the engine blows you don't care about the engien or car you care about just going fast( this is the person who just takes a stock motor and buys a turbo kit and just put it on) but a person who takes time in building a all motor engine which takes time and more planning is a person who cares about the car and engien and going fast

^^^that's what I meant. I don't feel the same way per say but I've heard people say it before.

Are you replacing them with the OEM tails cause I might be interested in a swap w/ u


WAIT!!! Do I see a Sport Compact Pro sticker????? You mean they actually do sponsor people??? From what I know they are a ripoff. Not bashin, just wondering

 

[QuickB18]

nope like i said everything on the car with the exception of the rims, tires, and the swap was there when I got it. I actually ripped those off about 2 min. ago. They are a rip, or so i've heard.

 

[xdr3amx]

Can you tell me why they did this. Never seen this befor, does this shop always do this?

What the mount? They had to take the stock drivers side ITR mount and fabricate it into something that would fit.

 

[skinnyjdm]

What octane do you use in that?

Also the public wants to know. How much did this purchase set you back?

 

[xdr3amx]

I don't know just seem bootleg to me. Not sure if this will cause problems later either. The correct way to do it is to change that bracket

If you can afford a b18c then you should be able to afford a 30 dollar bracket and doing it the rigth way. Not blaming you but just giving you a heads up. So change the bracket (Timing Belt Mount
Part # 11910-P30-000) (Mount bolts to the block underneath the timimg belt cover)and reuse your stock driver side mount.

 

[QuickB18]

i trust the shops work....very reputable shop around here.

What octane do you use in that?

91 octane...haven't looked for any higher around here.

Also the public wants to know. How much did this purchase set you back?

too much, I guess you could say broke lol

haha, shoulda LS boosted it, but hey, sweet motor!
