don't know about really, really expensive but they are certainly really expensive.

Its just that I looked for rims to suit for bout a year and these ones seemed to me to suit the car best.

She is classic. Nice job, esp w/ the ported 12A. What color is that beautiful paint? I agee side moldings break up the image, but more importantly. add horizontal flow. I bet you love driving to work!

Looking great!! Like the wheels. Keep it like it is. You can always go butcher up a Toyota or Honda if you don't like the stock look.

My thoughts exactly, gotta keep rice to a minimum on this one.

Hey Snapshot the paint is custom picked it off a BMW that was being sprayed at the same time.

Keep the mouldings - they prevent door dings and help the separate the top and bottom of the car for appearance. JMTC,

Yes, keep the mouldings. the stock look is superb, and honoring it is much appreciated.

Are you married? Available? Looking for a guy with 4 FBs and a REPU?

I can take those off your hands if you're that desperate

Then it won't sound like so much extra baggage

Looks great. Hope mine turns out half as clean. Nope, I should lower that standard.

I must ask about the RB exhaust. It doesn't actually produce 22% more power over stock like it advertises, does it? In my experience with boingers, replacing the entire exhaust system may gain you a 3-10 increase in power, and that's if you're lucky and you didn't eff anything up. I'm not expecting that you went to the dyno, because dynos are just numbers. Anyone can go on and on about four-digit horsepower gains, but only the driver can determine the fun factor. Anyway, does it actually feel as quick as advertised? Just wondering because I couldn't stop saying "bullshit" when I saw a double-digit percentage horsepower gain.

Hello cuttin the grass,,
Never have had a stock zorst on the car so I'm not sure about the gains from there, but certainly more responsive than before, perhaps 10%.

Bliffle, no not married but I do think that 6 of these things in a family could be a bit much, sure know that my 1 keeps me on my toes.

Cheers Sue
