The build is coming along nicely kenbo. I hope everything with the tranny works out for you.
We got to meet up this summer...i wanna experience a boosted d17. Maybe it will give me some incentive to boost mine.

Well didn't end up going to Carlisle since I didn't get money for new tires to put my rims on and my buddies didn't get there cars finished.....

But since the last time I was here I got RSX leather seats that I love and I got a brand new tranny...0 miles on it...It is great....now all I have to do is get money to put the rims on and install the srt-4 injectors and 255 fuel pump...than new tune and going to 12-14psi fully built...its gonna be very quick and I will have dyno sheet for it...Hoping to be around 240-260whp
