So as of a few days ago, the D16 will be dropped, and most likely re-built

and a LS/VTEC setup will be in for the next few months to come

New s**t:

 

[schutzracing]

looks good.. whats all in the new build??

 

[Road Pirate]

Nothing too special, just a re-honed and actually clean block, ARP headstuds, Y8 head, new D16Z6 si tranny with 6-puck carbon/carbon RPS clutch, ACT street light flywheel and I also got a Spec pressureplate 4-600lb tq.
Trying to get some Vitara pistons and hasting rings or whatever you call em...but moneys hella tight so im kinda dealing with what I got.

But, I jacked up my ringlands in cyl #4...so thats why im rebuilding the sucker

 

[Partizan]

What tires are those? Car is looking nice.

 

[imbcruz]

looks really good my hood is like that too ?? what is that from a bent hood I know its from an accident but i need to fix that problem on my car too... the More i see these VSM paint jobs the more i wannt change my mind about painting my car CW looking good

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks guys
Those are Falken Ziex tires, i LOVE them

But yeah...my hoods like that because it got warped on way in the sun, and i also got in a wreck, and everything doesnt align just perfect.
