JspecFD, tire sizes are 225/45f and 245/40r

Street King, the fenders he just got and not planning on painting them until he gets his 99 front end. It's just spray painted right now

CJ, he might sell the turbo but I think it would be acouple years before he'll upgrade to ball bearing turbo

Um, he just recieved his Blitz FMIC with no piping so it will be up in a week or two after we do all the piping work. Other than that, it is pretty much done, engine wise that is. He installed the wheels the other day. Changed the springs out with Tanabe super down so it's about 1/2" lower. His 99 front end should be here in 2 weeks, and he's trying hard to order his C-west headlight kit but he can't get a hold of anyone that sells them.

I have videos of him taking off (without boost of course with no IC). And one of his idle and revving. Just waiting on Vosko to get online so I can send it to him

Sounds like he is having a lot of fun. Keep me updated!!

What happened with the headlights you guys installed at my house, I thought they looked pretty good.

I thought that's how rotary engines sound like. All the high powered ones I hear sound like this. He has an XS-Engineering TO4S single, midpipe, and Apex dual N1. I hear that Apex N1's make that sound so do you think a different exhaust would change the tone?

I have the same setup with a Power Extreme Catback. My engine is also ported. Mine sounds radically different.

Sounds like it has a nice port job in it. I also like free flowing exhaust. The louder the better. Sounds good to me. Thanks.

n1 dual

my car sounds like that too with the apexi dual. i guess there is a penalty for using a high flow catback.
