Default Sorta new to the Site, my EJ8 sedan

well joined a little while ago just started looking around again. Heres a few pics of the ride so far. I know it needs to be lowered but that will come soon in the way of KSport Kontrols.




Nice and shiny

Great pick up for only $500. Did you get it repainted?

That just means your buddy can't drive stick, Intake wont really do anything btw, just sounds louder. Nice looking car though, very clean swap in a 5 speed and it'll be pretty sweet.

It wasnt from a dig it was from a roll, i dont know the guy but its taken down a 5spd DX when i had to other guys in the car with me. its not a stock y8 my friend, its a JDM D16A block which is the OBDII ZC motor, it has higher comp. than a stock y8 and ice documented 0-60 in 8 seconds with video. A 2.5in CAI will add 8whp, its been proven time and time again.

Yes the body will stay unharmed save for a possible CTR front and rear lip, still on the fence about that

You show me documented proof of any one bolt-on giving you 8whp on a d-series and i'll buy it. Pick anything you want, intake exhaust, header. None of them really make a real noticable difference. I'm not try to call you down or anything but if you put that on the dyno you might make 1 - 2whp more than stock.

holy 4x4!

and I'm still waiting for the dynograph.

I agree with 94EG8, I can't imagine a cai will add 8whp.
