636SpecMan · 2008-10-25 11:54:08

is that the only body kit for the b16 or something?

rakonismo · 2008-10-25 19:40:11

yeah its being manufactured by ait racing.

alexphoenix · 2008-10-25 21:41:04

if you guys cut off the middle part of the middle grill, it would look so much better.

specvicious49 · 2008-10-25 22:07:59

very nice. cant wait for more pics when you done.

not to be mean, but i dont trust your judgement on cosmetic mods.

Nice, Im curios on the cryo2 bottle and the adjusted battery. Would it not be easier to move the battery to the truck rather then turn it 90 degrees?

I def noticed that as well.
robert, granted you're not the first guy to turbo our platform, you will be by far one of the most important pioneers as i see it to all of us B16 spec owners. Awesome work. I'm not entirely sure if i like that bumper or not, I'll just have to see it painted. It's not completely you though, i know ppl around here with a blue or yellow car and a white bumper and it just looks like it was repaired from a wreck and not painted. I really look forward to updates and sema picks and finally the marketing of these parts. I'm getting to your point of major budget cutting, so it may take a bit but I"ll try and support what you're doing as much as i can eventually on the consumer end.

its not cryo2... its s max.

yes its easy, but making an evo or sti fast is easy.

this is a spec v, so lets be different.

SE-REN · 2008-10-26 02:12:09

damb very nice.

diaz9220 · 2008-10-26 02:38:23

Hey Rako im here in vegas too, anyway you can get me into SEMA? i wana go dude but i cant get in and its hard to sneak in.

Darkness · 2008-10-26 11:39:51

I wish I can go! I got invited by VisRacing when I was carbonfibered. But I chose not to attend.

Darkness · 2008-10-26 11:54:47

very nice story, you're lucky man! Hopefully we can compete sometime at Hin once my build is done. You have some great supporters. That's half the battle. I have only WTRacing and all dead Presidents support.

yeah, of all the things to change, the only thing would be the routing and use a dual-sided FMIC. it reduces lag BIG TIME.

hmm ya it would have been done, but my sponsor s max intercooler doesnt have that design made yet im prototyping it after sema.

so is majormods stupid for not doing same side in/out?

you cant install what is not made yet.

illestfob · 2008-10-27 13:22:26

its just inefficient. all they need to make is the endtank with two openings to weld onto the core. and a plate to close the other side.

ya its amazing. i know i suggested the same thing about 6 weeks ago.

its just not made yet.

i posted up the picture of my engine bay preview on the blog.

illestfob · 2008-10-27 13:27:01

lol.. that manifold makes it all the more reason to get the better i/c

were you dropped on your head? lol.

i am getting the intercooler with same in/out but its not made yet!

i dont know how to explain it any easier.

illestfob · 2008-10-27 13:31:12

i was simply backing up the idea by commenting on the picture you told me to go check out. dont want feedback, dont tell us about your new updates

rakonismo · 2008-10-27 13:32:07

its not called feedback what your posting.

its called beating a dead horse.

sticky667 · 2008-10-27 13:32:36

some people can't take criticism.

illestfob · 2008-10-27 13:32:59

if you havent noticed, we at msv like to

RedDragonV09 · 2008-10-27 20:29:28

You are going to Sema. Im sure it wouldnt take your sponsor very long to fab up a same side FMIC. That just doesnt make sense. Thats wasting money and time for you and the sponser to do it like that.
This is seriously not hard to make at all.

sticky667 · 2008-10-27 20:31:15

he has chinese knockoff companies as sponsors.. they wouldn't be able to get it "engineered (see copied)" in time for the show!

sw0ggd0gg · 2008-10-27 23:53:39

Man some of you guys are a bag of dicks. I actually like this forum, cuz the amount of people trying and congradulating outweigh the bag's of dicks. I used to be on the cobalt forum, where people would jsut shut you down for trying or talking, or bash you for complaining, its a group of people that are like noob, I SAID NOOB, honda drivers (I MISS MY EG) that actually stick up for there cars in blood. They are the kind of people that say, and i do quote "Yeah I have a full exhaust, four inch, supercharger back." "Oh, do you understand that your supercharger is on top of your motor, and not part of your exhaust?" Im sorry about ranting but, Im new. Lets be proud of people that love there job and are actually where they want to be.

Lets not bring eachother down, Im not being gay, but I am a car enthusiast, I wanted to leave my car for the people that supported it, a BOD's. There are not a whole lot of compacts out here, I didnt want ot go with honda, because the scene is flooded and snobbish, let's move forward and progress and leave with our proud flag...
