I'm sorry.

If you have a 1.8-liter, those aren't very fun choices.

 

 

NO its not getting that gold color LOL, its just easier to se dents and stuff, with some fresh paint on, its going to be gray as the rest of the car.

Engine is B16A2 so really can´t se the problem.

Makes me feel alot better about your setup.

 

very nice project keep us post on progress.

 

not a fan of 17" wheels, but keep it clean

the bay looks good

 

The BYS bumper is pure sex! It looks like it is going in a nice direction, keep us updated

 

lookin' good

 

I would have kept the exterior the way it was before IMO.

 

gold is not bling bling imo

 

gold wouldve looked fine. Either way, It's gonna look dope

 

....can't wait to see the finished product!!!!1

 

man i love that bumper

 

nice work

 

Those are some DOPE looking Kosei wheels.

Nice project

 

werd do they sell an exact color like that for the kosei k1's?

 

Those wheels pretty light?

Any why is that?

 

Lots of compression.

Not to mention the fact that the high-dome design of the PCT hinders flame travel inside the combustion chamber. Not to mention that hot spots form quickly with those.

On an LSVTEC, PCT pistons yield anywhere from the upper 12:1 compression range to the low 13:1 compression range.

That's alot to run on pump gas reliably. For one, you'll have to pull so much timing just to get it not to detonate that you'll end up making less power on somehting like 91 octane.

Some people like PCT's, and some people don't. I personally do not.

I was simply expressing my opinion.
