Red calipers?

Bit loud maybe?

its all they had in the shop i wanted yellow 

you can't see them so its not so bad 

just when i went to cleaning the wheels all you see is nasty looking callipers so red it was 

 

 

 

right been a while since i posted any thing on here but theres some updates not a lot but progress is progress 

 

fineally got some wind deflectors deffinately worth there money 

 

got some skunk2 rear lca's and beaks bar 

 

and picked up for only 134 squids an eldbrock performa x manifold was a bitch to fit 

as its was meant for a d16y8 engine and the w4 that i have in mine is very similar but being a 2000 model 

it has air injection and a ridiculous amount of vacuums 

and later found out that the manifold was for a z6 

had to modify my injectors and inlet gasket and a few other bits but its on and works 

and makes a dirrty noise in and out of vtec  :-D

only problem is today i have idle hunt just got to properly blank one of the vacuums 

 

after fitting it me and a mate took it out for a test drive and i went and shaped my drive shaft in the box aswell

so two hours later i have my old gear box back in 

so apart from the crunch in 2nd 3rd and 4th and the idle hunt it goes very well  WACK11111

 

im also modifying the bumper 

 

thanks all

heres some pics

With the cam in this car will be a Bseries eater!... Rate the blue tooth thing. Maybe a link for us who have the obd2 setup. I only discovered it myself today. My mate who works for the AA hooked his laptop up and WOW! couldn't believe all the information! This thing has 2 02 sensors...
