Quality is very good. The underside isn't finished like other more $$ ones are. but you can choose any colour and they ship pretty quick.

Not really feeling the rallye lights....
They'd look better in a WRC style pod or molded into the bumper

looking good man

So i have been playing with some metal shavings. Mainly the ones off of the head I have been porting lol

There is still more to do on the Intake side of the head



The combustion chamber has been shaved a little near the valves. This will lower compression a little but nothing to worry about as it will only increase flow by 1.5% in and out of the combustion chamber.



I have opened the exhaust from 1.44 to 1.65 and smoothened out the most of the flumes. There is sanding to do and painting before the hardware goes in.

Them are some big ass lights there Johnny Boy. Look as if you have quite the project going on. I miss a lot when I don't come around. Did you get those control arms in yet or do I still have to rip into you for sitting like a 4X4 in the ass end? LOL. Ill never change.

LOL I'm doing it tomorrow night after my shift at work. I was gonna have it done tonight but I forgot the springs at home lol.

I'll take pics of that for ppl to see.

And also dam you for having a bike (from other thread) I'm jealous but I know I would kill myself on one lol

Here is a quick pic of what I am doing. Not trying to thread jack.

Hi John,

I'm liking the changes and addons.
Please tell me the driving lights are (or will be) on a relay.

Me.

Terry,
Well I had placed them on there to see how they looked and I really liked them but It doesn't suit the style of the car So they are off now but yes they would have been off a relay with some heavy wiring.


Kev,
Looks great and I can't wait to see it! I wanna see you wheelie it lol

Everyone else,
Well I started my install for the LCA and ... OMG what a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I only have the drivers side in as that side alone took me 3 hours. I have air tools, cutting disk on grinders and also a set of torches. But seriously It took all my engery out of me. Not saying I was full of energy after working for 9 hours. The pass side will be done hopefully early sat morning so I can meet up with Ken to get some more goodies. No pics on this side as I was loosing my mind lol

Also my steering wheel it tilted to the left badly lol

I wonder what happened to the guy who was building that huge fog light pod in his bathtub???

Looking good boss!

Wasn't that Leo?

It was me

Well the other side of the LCA's are finally in.
Though I think I screwed up... I think I put them on backwards and my sway bar won't fit lol.

Also it is way too low now so I have to raise it up a little bit not dam it looks good.



Plus on saturday I finally got some parts from Ken. I got my Black Intercooler, my Wastegate and Blow Off Valve. Great quality stuff and I'll have pics tomorrow hopefully.

It's slowly coming together!!!!!!

That isn't to low if you ask me. I can finally stop bugging you about sitting like a 4X4 in the rear. Looks real nice Johnny.

It may not look low but when i pull away hard there is nothing but smoke coming off the rear tires lol

If you look close you can see the rub mark on med section of the outter block of tread lol

ya because they mash fender LOL thats not low johnny.... when you cant tuck a fullsize tire you are in prokit territory

Oh she would tuck but it would only happen if I didn't have the spacers on and I like it with them on. I'm not a fan of the rear tires being in under the fender.

So I had to raise up the spring .75 of an inch to clear the tires. It rides better now lol. But it still looks dam sexy from the back lol
I'm going to make the sway bar fit too. A little bit of fire should help lol.

Well here are the pics of the Crankcase filter, BOV and Wastegate. The intercooler I still have it in the back of the car for now.
