I'll be looking for a full piping kit to go along with a pretty decent sized core, closer to spring. I have no idea who designed the turbo to IC piping for the car, but it's weird. Literally goes, stock j-pipe, pipe with bov flange, curved pipe, into the top tank of the intercooler. It's super short route, literally 1ft of piping. Also have never seen a bov before the IC.

Asshanson pm'ed me about some brakes he has, hoping they're still around in the spring or until I have some money to spend :). Might be asking what I plan to do with it. Well, I reallly want to make it to the track at least once. I loved racing at MAP's bir event, so hoping they have that again (plus getting hammered and singing journey to a crowd of about 50 was a good time too...hahaha). Would like to try out auto-crossing as well, but no paul, no rally-crossing ;) haha (he will eventually try and get me to do it, cars too pretty for dirt). Power wise, 300-325hp and similar torque numbers, would be adequite. I only plan on using my small 16g, but if a deal on a 20g and some injectors come by, I may upgrade.

If I do the brake upgrade I'm planning, I will need rims. (rota haters look away) I would like some rota p45f's, but may just buy some evo rims, since they'll clear the calipers going on there.

Was looking at Rotas the other day...decent looks for the money.

I rock Rota's. I don't care if they are knock-offs. They look good, came in the right size/offest, and a good price tag. Like a sore dick, can't beat that!!

I don't have a problem with them. I can't afford works or volk, but like the looks of them. I was in love with the p45r's (just a more aggressive rake on the spoke), buy no way they're fitting under 1g wheel wells. I would want a different set then everyone has, half the Honda guys have slip streams on their cars (or at least 2 of the on the back lol).

I've had Rota P45F's on my evo for 3 years now, I love them. Sometimes I wish I had got the R's, but the F's have a really nice, clean, basic 5-spoke look to them...that's what I was after.

Thats what I'm going for. The r's look nuts on evos, but I talked with some wheel guys and they won't fit on my 1g (without some changes being made). Oh, and the will be black, call it played out, but I really couldn't give 2 shits..haha. With the black top, on a white car, with black rims...think it will look really nice.

I def wanna come watch one this year, but the way I plan to set up my car, it just doesn't seem dirt friendly haha.

If I still had the maroon talon with blizzaks, I'd be down. But a lowered street car with street radials doesn't seem like a good time.
