Oh yeah, thanks for posting this thread REVHEAD it made my night. It's nice seeing how others have modified there SA/FB's (even if most are n/a ). I like how that one guy adapted 5 lug FC brakes/calipers to his SA/FB, hmm might have to talk to my machniest buddy se if he can whip out some brackets.

Why don't they let us have any of the good stuff in the States? I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to pay whatever it takes to get the stuff shipped here.

Huh? They don't come with them? hahaha...when I bought mine from a co-worker it already had square head lights.

Of course, I'm fairly new to the x7 scene. So, I'm learning as I go.

Might be, I saw some of those housings yesterday, at a fellow otory-maniac in Belgium. Was so busy discussing the build-up of my 13BT that I forgot to ask where they came from. But 10A seems the best guess, as they aren't 12A RX2 (there were 5 brand new RX2 blocks on the floor and they didn't have this (I think)).

Yeah those weird ports were on the 10a. You can also tell its a 10a by looking at how skinny the housings are. Anyone else notice the 6mm carbon apex seals it uses?! Some of the early 13B's in the RX-3s used that style exhaust port as well. All apex seals before 1973 were 6mm carbon.
