Thanks. That's the closest I've ever been to "ricing" out my car.

I read even the fake rmf makes really good power, theres a couple threads on here where they dyno'd a car and tried out like 5 different headers and the RMF (rep) did really good. people can say ur faking the funk or whatever i dont give a **** as long as it makes good power. ima go with the fakie too since i dont have 1000 to spend on a custom header lol

If I could ever find a real rmf narrow, it'd probly be beat to **** and the person would want a arm and a leg.

No the steel isn't the same quality but it does its job and does it well. And I paid a quarter of the price of a real one and got a brand new header.

I never felt a night and day difference with any other header like I did this one.

Between that and the pX my car hauls *** untuned after 5k

Just gotta find the right deals. My buddy bought one local, an authentic rmf narrow that is for $400. It was mint although Randy(r.i.p) said the narrow was the worst design he's made lol



egezzy- the first pic reminds me of a ufc ref asking the fighter if he's ready

Re: ((((((((----EG Hatch Thread----PT 2 )))))))))
Worked on my buddy's EF sedan yesterday. It had 12V of power for the first time in a year and we actually got to crank the motor over for the first time. Not getting any spark and it appears the RyWire OBD-0 Auto to OBD-1 5 speed harness he bought had some pins out of order on the coolant temp sensor. It started smoking like crazy and almost started a nice little electrical fire...

I had a pretty fun weekend.I had a good race with this ek9 which had a full ITR swap,I beat him pretty bad though felt sorry for the guy he looked like he was ready to cry ..But the funniest race I had this saturday was with this 200cc two stroke Gilera with a 20 shot of nitro ...I didnt think he can actually be that fast ,I almost got nervous for a minute but I caught him in the last 100meters..What really impressed me was the advantage nitrous gave to him ,He was three cars ahead of me in first and second gear,but I started closing the gap In third to fourth gear DAM I LOVE THIRD IN MY EG....Imagine a two stroke bike with a 20 shot of nitrous, almost kicked my *** ..I wander what kind of cars i can take out with a 50 shot of it..It got me thinking but I think it would destroy all my iternals...Anyway real fun weekend ,I also went to a DOPE DRIFT SHOW on Sunday...

I picked on a poor gsr with bolt ons with my ep3 on the way home from work saturday. Apparently hearing an ep3 w/ 3" at 8500 rpm is surprising.

Re: ((((((((----EG Hatch Thread----PT 2 )))))))))
I drove my car to the gas station for the first time in about 4 months, filled the tires up with air, and picked up a footlong pizza sub from Subway. I scared people with the shinyness of the paint and the large amounts of black smoke coming out of the exhaust. I looked in the rear view mirror pulling out of my neighborhood and thought I was driving a bullydogg'd turba diesel for a second....

Pulling the head off soon for a headgasket and new valve seals finally. 100 quarts of added oil later and I'm finally going to fix the problem.

Re: ((((((((----EG Hatch Thread----PT 2 )))))))))
100 qts? No big deal...just a minor technicality lol Was that at a low rpm? That doesn't sound like valve seals ora headgasket...more like a bad or missing PCV valve.

Re: ((((((((----EG Hatch Thread----PT 2 )))))))))
I've owned it 6 years thus the 100 quarts and it only smokes noticeably above 3,500 RPM under load or if I just downshifted and let it load up. Burns about 3/4 to a quart of oil every 400 miles. Compression is good, so I know it isn't rings.

The only plug that appears to have soot or ash build up is #1 cylinder which is why I suspected really bad valve seals.
