see...i told ya. I've heard of 14.2 1/4 times for a Sol\B18C1 here is texas...but I'm not sure on all the details of that. My pig runs 15 flats (almost just .035 to shave off) and that's a tourque-less B16A y0! Get a GSR you will thank yourself. SOMEBODY BUY MY CAR!!!

For the price of a GSR you can get an H22 swap.

OK HMO sells GSR swaps for like $3500, H22 for $2500. HCP mounts, about $300 shipped.

Lets just average that up to $3000, still $500 left over.
