Default Who's header is this? Something's not right

Ultimate-Racing All-Motor CRX from 2000


Vibrant Performance All-Motor CRX from 2003



Doesn't Vibrant manufacture their own headers? I wonder why they're using someone elses header on their race car... seems strange... or does it?

Ultimate (Johnson Lii) made his own header the one pictured.
The Vibrant car ran I think a Bizi's header and they used there JDM Vibrant header too. Not sure the one they ended up using though. HTH Rob

It is one in the same. They bought the header off of Johnson.

They make their own stuff, I wonder why they don't run it. Doesn't say much for their products if they're running something made by Johnson from Ultimate-Racing. Just my .02.

Maybe because their product line isn't geared towards full-race products.

Thanks Rob. It's been a while in the making. Vibrant had a Bisi header and sold it. Then got Johnsons.

Their header is advertized as a race header, they might aswell use it. the car is not going anywhere fast as it is. it would benafit the company more if they had their own product on the car.

I dont understand the direction that this race car is going. their is so much money put into it and nobody involved with the project even cares about or enjoys drag racing. The crx's main purpose is to be a marketing tool. It would be better for vibrant if it had its own header on it. (my opinion)

Sad part is that one day after all the cash in this car it will eventualy be fast. reminds me of Vennom and Heather Oconner.

BTW i used to drive this car and helped build it, once it was up and running i got the boot (diferences with me and the boss). i did 10 passes in it running 11.51 @ 115 with 203whp. when i was driving the car it was canadas fastest active all motor car.

Now it weighs less. has new slicks, makes more power 218whp, tilton clutch, spool diff, final drive and with a new driver (old boss) and about 20 passes its best time is 11.56 @ 117

It should be in the 10's by now. (just my opinion)
