Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = a pos lol
theres nothing wrong with having a car that's not a daily driver. cars that get driven everyday get messed up pretty quick; i.e. bad roads, retards on the road and dumb people that have no regard for other people's cars in the parking lot. that's why ferraris, lambos, and other expensive cars dont get driven everyday. if you had put a bunch of money into a car, and could afford to get another one to drive around, why not? and driving "hard" on the street usually leads to accidents due to stupidity.

i didnt ask drew for help or post here. i was tellin him all the hater comments.
theres several reasons i dont daily it.
1. the risk of gettin into an accident is at a greater risk dailying the car.
2. the honda theft in central florida is crazy. go on tamparacing.com, its a local forum and i **** u not. theres a honda stolen thread made everyday.
i agree a car should be driven thus why i drive it to shows and the track. my car isnt trailered. i will be driving it from tampa to atlanta for nopi. my car isnt just a grocery getter anymore. it gets 90 plus degrees here and no ac is uhhhhhh.

Dude, if you just bought normal parts and rotas and put the money you've spent on all your sorority girl parts into your engine, you could put up a fight against Andy.

if replica parts your thing by ol means u do what u wanna do. ill do what i wanna do. i just rather spend the xtra $$ on quality well built products and dont have to worry about them falling apart. we all got different taste and opinions on parts and brands.
an all motor project or boost will come 1 day. u dont worry

DAMN. 3g's for a set. Thats dope tho, everyones about fake this and cheap that... excuse the shitty analogy, but its like people who eat organic. Yeah, regular food is cheaper and will fill you up... but being organic does have a bunch of qualities. If someone wants to buy the real parts, good for them. Its pure. I dont know where all this cheap **** came from anyways, china can take it all back.

There's no need to get your panties in a pinch. I didn't make a judgment, I stated a fact. You could have gotten to the same performance point for cheaper, there's no arguing that. I understand the "why."
Are they JDM panties?

Wilwood, or maybe Stoptech. I think they have a kit for the EM2/RSX. Seems like everyone and their mother has Brembos nowadays.

i was looking at stoptech and found a stoptech kit for the ep3, not the em2. dont wanna spend $1900 on that kit and knowing it could fit. i wanna be 100% sure it fits.
