Thanks guys

I pulled the stock exhaust off, it was bent & kinked all to hell! Then installed everything but the mufflers, sounds tits! Took that faggy spoiler off too lol.

A pic my buddy took

Finally got around to grinding out the centers of the wheels, found some Coopers that will work, and mounted em up. A little different I guess....

Ah, the ones off the V6 G8, I like those better that the V8 18s. Good choice!

Thanks! Yea the V8 18's look too much like what I already have, but 1" bigger. Do not like.

cool. gonna paint them or use them as is?

Just as is for right now, black chrome might be cool. This year I just want to get it together, next year will be little finesse' & such. By summer I want to have my lip made, install my exh, buy & install King HHD springs, detroit locker, wet nitrous kit, & tune........hopefully lol.

Picked up some almost new G8 18" take-offs yesterday

ARE YOU SERIOUS? 1000? WOW!

hi

I haven't read much on it yet, but I heard long tubes are a bitch to put on. Any truth to this, or fairly straight forward?

I'm confused, is that a 3500 UIM with the top cut off & a plate bolted to the top to mount the s/c?

If so then there was a beretta with the same thing done a while ago, idk how well it performed though. It makes sense, it'd just be nice to have a LIM that didn't help transfer/retain fluids, would make things easier lol.

I've heard from a lot of folks who weren't all that pleased with their STS systems.

STS themselves are a joke

If anyone were to do a rear mount set up, I'd strongly recommend to do their own homework on compressor maps, eng cfm's, & such. Find the right turbo, and know the outcome rather than throw vast amounts of $ at it and trust in someone's "universal" b.s.

I wouldn't say that, the black housing/clear corners complimented the CF/sliver scheme the GA had perfectly.

But why 10,000K? It only hurts your visibility. 6000K is the max, IMO. To boot, 35W bulbs in normal housings don't have that bad of glare at all.

10k is what I had at the time and it looked good I thought, but they were probably more like 8k, not as blue as other 10k's I've seen. I just hated how cheap the headlights were, didn't take long at all to start deteriorating lol. Plus the fitment sucked.

I wish I would have just left mine alone & stuck with the oem headlights.

10k's + Amber markers + 3k fogs = secks.

No problem man

I wouldn't even bother having it rebuilt before the turbo or SC setup. Let your existing motor be the tuning guinea pig, test it's limits a little. Have another motor on standby, that way you can work out all your tuning bugs on your current motor. You could potentially run accross something catastrophic, that leaves you up the creek. Not a good situation, been there lol.

Walbro 255's are usually $85.00

Injectors are around $250.00

Links....

tial 38mm 181.50

BOV CURRENT BID 109.50 shipped

Turbo - 345.00 shipped

Turbo - 315.00 shipped

I/C & piping - 150.00 shipped

That puts you at roughly 1120.00, and that was a very quick search, ebay only.

Not worth it man, if I were you here's what I'd do, and it's cheaper...

-Hone out your front manifold

-Have a rear log manifold, Ypipe, & downpipe made

-Find a good cond. used Holeset, Borg Warner S200 series, Garrett or Turbonetics 60 series turbo

-Used factory or aftermarket intercooler that will support 300hp (i.e. evo, srt4, ebay, etc. & route piping accordingly)

-Ebay piping kit

-Used Tial 38mm w/g (new diaphram)

-Used bov(buy a new diaphram if needed)

-Walbro 255

-60lb injectors

-Tune

That should cost a lot less than trying to get that CFS to work, and put you EASILY in the 300whp range with a good tune. Be smart with your $, shop around on some local forum classifieds/craigslist/ebay/swap meets. I say let others' pay new prices, then when they decide to part it out, pick up on your savings. This can be had for around the 1500-2500 range, pending on how good of deals you come across. Used parts aren't always bad parts, same applies with cheap generic ebay stuff, like piping & intercoolers. I wouldn't worry about any port work, until you decide to start making some real serious power later on. Hope that helps!

Sweet

Thanks!

to the last person. ya theyre pace setters. theyre the coated tho. got some locals that have had the coated ones for yrs without issue.

Sweet, yea I'm really considering doing the same thing. Let us know if there's a noticeable difference before/after

Funny thing is, if there were no bailouts, we wouldn't be in a depression. As usual, politics prevail....

Are those Pacesetters?

I like the spoilerless look on pretty much anything. Looks good.

In 1999 my mom had just bought her 2dr GAGT, I fell in love and wanted one badly. Fast forward to late summer of 2005, came across a 2dr silver GAGT1 fully loaded, I bought it. Had it until august of 2010 when I sold it, most reliable car I've owned to date.

Dec 15 2010, my dad and I had been at Buffalo Wild Wings for a while, and I was almost loaded. We stopped by Don Wessel Honda and spied this in their used section...

My dad & I took it around the block, I was approved & signed the papers before my buzz wore off. Probably not the smartest move, but at the time I figured "FORD it, I'm single now, so why the hell not". Picked it up the next day, haven't regretted it since.

Why does he/she look sad?

Not sad, just bored. She had just annihilated Fred, her toy fox (to her right).

This is my most recent dog Abby, Border Collie/Black Lab mix

Hope this doesn't stand for "God Damn it" lol jk

Looks like an Accord & IS350 had a baby.

So it's basically a poor man's fwd EvoX, I can dig that, ex for no man trans option.....kinda kills it for me.
