I prefer music that sounds like the artist actually spent time on it.

Good luck man,

I'm not a big fan of military, as I am Canadian and i just dont see the point to war ( please dont make this a big deal, just my opinion. Im not wanting to start a big thread here)


But be safe, and can't wait to see some pics when u return.

A turbo on a d17a1 will work fine, there is a big debate with vtec vs non-vtec for turbo's. The higher CR of a vtec engine is better for turbo, as long as u keep boost low, and tune it well. Regardless u will still see good #'s with a d17a1 turbo.

U will not need axels unless ur around 250whp, which required internal work. A stock 7-8 psi kit would be an easy choice, no axels or internals required. I highly advise u to spend the $$ right on a kit and ESPECIALLY ON TUNING. tuning will make a world of difference, and will be the difference between ur engine lasting a year or 10 years.

a good entry level Digital SLR will be like 600-800 depending on which accessories you get.

i plan on getting a Nikon D50... eventually.
