ok... so for those playing at home,

it seems that Mr whitestivo still thinks LIFT beats all... Lift is similar to VTEC... the car goes nowhere fast until you rev the sh!t out of them...

Rowan, i like your new car, it looks good, and is menacing on the road... but do you think you would upgrade the wheels?

I'm not saying it looks bad... but the flat black rims don't suit the ELEGNT style that you once had... (i hope that makes sense)

Still, very nice work on it, so much simpler to mod then a corolla :P

well done B)

manifold cracked yesterday :(

Ouch. That's a bit of a bummer. ETA yet on when you will get it get it fixed or are you not in that sort of a hurry?

Two statements that go together to form a LOL... sorry:

Even if it's unrelated, it's still funny. Once again.. sorry.

it cracked due to them porting it out to much, in the spot where this manifold commonly crack. i need to take it out(sounds easy but its not) and weld on the top side of the flange that bolts on the turbo as its only weled on the inside, then ported.

boost has nothing to do with it its just the extreme hot to quickly cold which are a common property of stainless.

BTW. it was nearly transperent it was glowing that much when i went on the dyno a month ago LOL B)
