man, that's super nice, especially with the arc box. i always look at pics of your car on ht and stuff.

oh, is your upper rad hose at a weird kink or is it just the picture?

i've got mine gutted from the front seats back right now but i am about sick of hearing my rear suspension on these bumpy roads where i live. haha.

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

thats just a glare but i see what ur sayin in the first pic

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

That ARC box just is "it" for me. I don't know why. Thats a great engine bay though.

Are those NRG hood shocks? If so, what fitment are they from?

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

dampers are from the dc5. yes nrg. i used a summit racing taylor relocate kit which is in the trunk. thanks for the comments good or bad. i love my car the way it is. :hgrin:

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

man, do you ever smell fumes from your battery with it being in the trunk? seems since it ever got colder, there's a veeeeeery faint smell of fumes in my car with no rear interior.

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

its in a box = no fumes

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

can someone please explain that cool looking box in his engine bay with his APC logo that looks like a intake?

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

It's not APC it's ARC, High-end part manufacturer. And it's an air filter box

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

:lol: thats sig material.

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

Damn ur cars sweet bro! im jealous i wish my swap looked this nice under the hood instead i just have a JRSC poping out,(just had to say it too lol) anyways where did u get that intake from? its sick! was it made especially for a k swap or what? and how much was it?

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

i saw ur k24 SC. its sickkkkkkkkkk. the arc intake is made for the rsx and since our cars are the same i bought it for it. i got it at inlinefour.com. it was about $750 bucks. :2pimp:

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

wideopenmotorsports has that arc for about 400ish plus the suction pipe is like 250 so yea its up there in price.
looks damn good

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

Very nice sim you done shit the right way and i like that. + for doin the ARC induction box.

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

$750! dayum!!!! i'll just wait till you upgrade or part out your car to get urs lol,...

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

You seem really cocky with some of the things i read from you...

But kudos for a job well done... Seen ypu on I-4 Couple of times, and we met at the HIN get together at Mcdonalds. Looks better in person... Except the mirrors, don't like them.

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

still clean..

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

simply amazing as always bro

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

yo sim, you know i likey, and I want a ride soon..ROFL

but i doubt you going to be above 220whp.....I'm guessing around 210whp.
Either way, awesome build....cant wait for the "other" things you have in store for the car.

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

sorry im never sellin my car. :hgrin: shes paid off and i put to much money into her to sell it. she will be a collectors item for me. :sweet: :lol:



uhhhhh ok :shrug:

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

damn nice bro

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

wow your car has all the exact same parts on my to do list except your ballin' enough to actually have them all on your car now haha! only thing i noticed but could possibly be wrong about is did you major chince out on your tires? lol they look not quite performance oriented to say the least. hopefully your new k20 will destroy them fast enough anyways you will need new ones haha! just got a set of yokohama parada spec 2's and wow they never screech or let lose on the track so far and i push my car pretty hard.

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

siickkk ass ride bro :rockon:

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

thats what i seen on dyno sheets with the same mods i have over on crsx.com. ill give u a ride but for a charge. :giggle:

thanks everybody for the comments. :D

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

Interior and engine is nice. Exterior needs to be redone, ugly imo. Gameover = oudated btw, thief lulz.

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

Was there any modding needed for the NRG hood dampers or do they bolt right on?

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
 

appreciate all the comments. good or bad :sweet:

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over

Re: 02 em2 w/ k20, bride, takata, volk, arc, mugen = game over
