That's not a POS Mike

That's a nice and clean looking FD, I see that the headlights fit your car perfectly

I like your exhaust, what type is it? Keep it clean, good job

The exhaust is an Apexi GT Spec. AKA "The mellon Launcher"

Yeah the headlights look awesome. I'm still waiting for my covers to come in the mail.

Are those real kouki tail lights or converted? They look sweet either way. The covers on the headlights will finish it up nicely. Yep, i got the sickness as well.

Nice FD, you don't have that big of a sickness until you have some wheels on that thing!

I have never heard of the rx-6 turbo making that kind of power. What boost was it at? Do you have the dyno sheet?

HaHa..I have wheels, there not on it now. I don't have a dyno sheet as of right now. THe prevous owner hasen't given me all of that stuff yet. Boost was at 18psi w/110 octane. I don't drive it around with that much though. 15 is too much for my tires as it is. I've had the turbo up to 20psi with no problems. Pulls like there's no tommorrow all the way up to 9k.

Not that I'm doubting you, but 20 psi seems like an awful lot for the RX-6, which has a very tiny hotside. Also, you shift at 9000 rpms? What is done to your motor that it pulls hard to 9k?

Last thing, what wheels did you end up getting?

I know what you are saying. 20psi is alot for my turbo. But, somehow it just won't give up. I would see how high it would go, but my ignition won't hold after 20psi. My engine is just a run of the mill street ported reman. 4in exhaust, 1600cc secondaries, pfc, apexi fmic.

It's just a freak I guess.

Very nice fd, how much was the rx6 kit?

Most people don't bring their rx6's up to 20psi. I wanna get a gt35/40 so I figured i'd see how far this one could go before I upgraded.

Mmph I do like it. I bet your exhaust glows like Gargamel's. You've gotta be making more heat than power. And you're making a lot of power.
