Sounds identical, absolutely NO benefits I can detect... other than bling factor! I ran it today with the recirc line off just for the hell of it, and now you could really hear it vent, but I stalled it a few time coming to a hard stop. Fun was over, it's connected once again.

When you taking it to the track?
Engine bay is very very clean..
This year, I swear! I say it every year, but I plan on getting a dyno and a 1/4 mile time before the year's end!

It's there, just running along the top of the radiator with some zippies.

Get some silver vinyl to at least attempt to cover up those license plate holes.

I believe you are referring to the 5th injector? Instead of upgrading the injectors, RRM just added a 5th. Seems to work just fine.

I know what you're saying Otter, but I kinda like the "ratty" look and have no problems leaving behind signs of customizing. Maybe I'll just photoshop them out.

That looks really nice man.
That smaller battery really takes the "cramped" look out of it.
I think you should have left the mivec silver IMO..

that would look stupid if i understand what your trying to say , the pre drilled holes on plates dont match up with the holes in the bumper. thats why the RAs come with that big ugly plastic holder when you buy em new, i had to drill diff holes in the front plate to get it to fit.

oh, I didn't realize they don't line up with the plate holes

yeah, I was being sarcastic, since I agree that it would look like total ***.

here in texas the only requirement is plate has to be visible from front, so some cops will let ya get away with it being on your dash, i keep screws and plastic holder just incase the cop is a jerk.

but its nice not to have any plate in the front at all =]
