1983: i dunno the internet is always sketchy...especially something as important as rims. You dont wanna get screwed over on something like that. I would try and stay local if I were you, just because if something goes wrong you know were to go and who to talk to.

Player: what kind of amp is it? how many channels? Thats what i need right now is a new amp, cuz mine cant give out enough juice for my sub.

Wheelmax: They are trustworthy, but you're going to get seriously nailed with duty/brokerage. It will work out to more than the amount you can get them locally!

I researched it...wheelmax had the rims I wanted (Zeo bz12's), and nobody around here even knew who zeo was!!! ghey!


anywho, 1983: I'll think about it hehehe

I might order one too...how much are they?

oh, and you're going to have to split the duty with me (all of it! hehehee)

jk

duty is gonna kill me, but I'm down with it. it'll still be cheaper than buying it in TO thaks to the dollar doing so well!




PLAYER: I won't be making it. I have a wedding to go to! (It's Kurtis' wedding tomorrow!!!) So I don't think he'll be making it tonight.

Not sure about import nites yet...

Got my RS grill yesterday...well ordered it anyway...the guy who took the order over the phone didn't leave the price for the other guy so when I went in I wound up paying $56 (their cost) with no tax or markup..LOL.

so guys...I've been pondering what to save my money for...

The next thing I have to buy is some little parts for the brakes, and the next big thing I'm gonna buy is seats.

BUT...I'm wondering what the long-term mods should be.

I looked into the SF turbo (checkout the group buy forum), and he wants $2900 for the turbo kit.
This will safely run 6-8lbs of boost (6lbs recommended), and gets you 165WHP.

So, with the current exchange rate, that works out to be $3915 CAD.

I'd be able to install it myself without any problems.


BUT, the RSX-R has 192WHP to begin with, so it proves to be a much better starting point for turbo's, etc.

I found a K20AR (DC5 Type R) engine for $2500USD, which works out to $3375 CAD. This is cheaper than the turbo kit, but I'd have to buy engine mounts, and get someone else to install it.
So, if we assume $2000 for random parts and labour, it's still around $5500.

That's only $1600 more than the turbo, AND it gives you more power.

I love the sound of a BOV, but I think I'll wait for the turbo, and put it on my K20AR

And for the skeptics: the K20AR comes with the tranny, the subframe, the ECU (I'd get a mugen computer though), axles (I'd have to get the SiR axles to keep it 4 bolt), and all the goodies to go bananas.



dayum. I need to win the lottery

$6000 isn't that much to save up, but I have to pay for school ($2500 for sept, I will HOPEFULLY be graduating in december), and there's always random expenses that come up (bday's, sex toys, etc).


so seriously, who wants to pay for my project?

Hey guys...I was thinking. The hotel people may not like us hanging out in their parking lot so how about this.....When you turn onto the road to go to hotel drive about 50 meters past it and look for my car...I know a spot on the side we can gather on that isn't a parking lot....

[liljoe]

The type R engine is not a good base if you want to turbo. Get the base RSX/SIR motor if your gonna go with turbo. The type R gets a lot of its power because it is very high compression. If you were to turbo it you would probably have to bring the compression down. The base RSX/SIR (k20a2 i think) is a lot lower compression already, a lot cheaper, but it is a great engine to be turbo'ed. If you look on the forums at EPhatch.com there is probably some examples of the results you would get.

Just my $.02

edit: althought the LSD with the type R is pretty sweet.
