why? you cant run a fpr with the stock returnless system. the stock fuel system, minus injectors, are good for 250-300whp.

okay so no on a regulator for now.. what about fuel rail.. im doing it so its already done when i go to upgrade the fuel delivery system alot more.. fuel rail is cheap and easy to do(200$) and says it works with the stock fuel system, working on the little things for now until i have alot more money to spend on int manifold, injectors, throttle body etc.

lol i love marketing. tein just released some chrome valve stem caps that hold the air in your tires "better."

If I wanted a baller & functional k-series fuel rail, I'd buy some koolmat gold foil & wrap it. Every uneducated kiddie would ask me about it and I'd say, "it's just some NASA **** I found laying around, it keeps outer space out of my fuels."

$200 to change the color of your fuel rail? Ouch. Like someone said above, with your mods, you don't need to worry about modifying the fuel system.

It's 200$ big f***in deal I think a lot of things for our cars are a waste of money, 300$ for a shortram just to look cool wasn worth it either, didn't give me a noticeable gain whatsoever

You're damn right it's a big deal. You could've painted the stock fuel rail for $10, or gone "all out" and powder coated it for $20-$30. I agree that $300 for a short ram intake is also a ripoff. I don't know where you buy your parts, but that sounds expensive, even for a "fancy name brand" intake. Some of us aren't made out of money, I guess. Then again, if you are, you should be driving something nicer than a Civic.
