its yellow, so i automatically dislike it. dont buy expensive parts when you can get the same thing for a fraction of teh price.

and with that comment you are referring to what exactly?

thanks for the comments guys. the red and yellow will just be in the engine bay, so i think it'll look pretty good. interior wise i'm thinking some cf accents, and some nice corbeau seats, but thats about it.

as soon as my PB comes in, i'll be done with engine mods, so next on tap are suspension (tein basic coilover, strut bars), and then onto the show side of things (i'm more performance oriented, so while i do like a nice looking car, i prefer a somewhat speedier one).

in the future, i would like to get this thing dyno'd if only for ***** and giggles

what? all 2 of them?!? FYI, at the time I bought them, they were the only ones selling bored intake manifolds and throttle bodies, and I wasn't about to bored my own with no prior experience.

Even now, no one has any solid information about the bullfrog head swap, so for those particular parts, RRM is the only way to go, unless you do it yourself

its not the only option lol, you didnt do proper research. you could have gotten a dsm tb for 1/7th the price and it would work jsut as well. you could get a 93 mani and you really could bore it yourself for 1/7th the price.

dude, that may be all well and good for you who wants a DIY project, but that isn't me and I didn't want to spend my time ghetto rigging something up and boring it myself.


oh, and you need to learn how to read:

Those kit would be awesome! Add the painted valve cover. It would compliment the hose kit. Then from there you could also have the radiator mounts painted to match the scheme you have going there. I like what you have going on. Keep it up!

i do know how to read, i read what you wrote, but i was still pointing out how you wasted your money, so dont roll your eyes at me. and that certainly isnt "ghetto rigging" anything lol.

alright alright, have it your way

i was planning on getting some red deyeme radiator and motor mounts

also, for the inside, i was playing around with the idea of a GOOD cf dash kit (the stick on one, but real cf), and some skid plates. still don't know if thats what i want yet. might be too overdone, ya know?

as much as ppl knock them, you can get replica seats that are nearly identical that work jsut as fine and are much cheaper, jsut get the replicas that dont have fake stitching on them.
