HP ricing. i wanted something that looked more OEM.

i do look on ebay, but id rather aussie or OEM stuff. none of that junk they have. RPW for the win.

rpw parts are the shit, if you can afford them and the shipping to the states

 

[TurboMirage]

dude, look at my modlist lol

ive got a complete RPW top end and header.

why are you wasting your time with that little motor, just drop in a 4g63 turbo

 

[TurboMirage]

15.6 @ 91mph doesnt say its a waste.

i dont want to spend 5K to swap in an evo motor. the DSM 6/7 bolts dont fit this generation.

for a little amount of cash i'll be turbocharged.. and still very reliable

15.6 @ 91? I'd fall asleep by the time i hit the 1/8th mile... lol..

 

[TurboMirage]

low 14s by next spring

 

[ScrapinSi]

Okay... So i'd only end up lookin for my snickers by the time I was done...

 

[TurboMirage]

yeah but atleast you wouldnt worry if you were getting to the end of the 1/4 mile in one piece lol

 

[ScrapinSi]

lol... I dont worry about making it to the end in one piece... Just if the car will hold together to my beating on it... Which it doesnt seem to do too well...

front bumper-

for cancer

 

[TurboMirage]

not cancer, only rusted cuz it sat for a month with nothing protecting the holes.



oooooo





easy to mount. the fitment is pretty good for a cheap bumper. i like it.

already got the mount holes i need drilled out, license plate holes... just gotta fab up something for a bumper support and done. fix the crack and ship it off to dan for paint.

 

[91_civic_si]

I thought you were going for an oem look???

 

[TurboMirage]

yeah, last year.

 

[klyph]

I'll wait to spout my final opinion until after it's painted, but right now, that's awful.
Do you have plans for an intercooled turbo setup?

 

[TurboMirage]

mmhmm srt-4 I/C is huge in that bumper.

 

[91_civic_si]

As much as I like Mirages, I have to agree with klyph

 

[TurboMirage]

it will look WAY better when it is all the same color.
