You and I have our differences and don't agree on much, but I can say that its a nice car... very clean, good work done to it. I've never understood the point of those hook-things sticking out from the front grill and rear of the car however. Care to explain?

tow hooks.. like a "race spec" part.. they are fully functional... some race tracks require them at certain events in case they need to move your car.. but yes. i honestly got them for the looks... and thank you for the compliment.. it means a lot..  |

very nice, a little hardcore with the stripping of the interior, but still very very nice.
couple of questions: what do you run with the nitrous(and at what shot)? and how much weight did you save taking out the interior and do you think it was worth it? since now its probably really loud in there. |

not too sure ive beaten mid 14 second cars on the street i run between a 50 and 70 shot.... Quote:
well i removed a LOT of stuff thats standard on an ex.. like the whole cruise system, the window washer, wipers assembly, interior.. i really took these things otu because i never used them.. not because i expected a huge weight savings.. but i bet between ALL the things i removed.. i saved a decent amount.. |

I wouldnt say rainX is that good...I still use my wipers all the time
Im glad the racing mirrors arent on...and I still dont like the benen toe hooks...but I guess if theyre functional... I wish my car was clean right now...theres no point in washing it though |

thats a really good question.. and i really dont know.. kind of a lot i guess. i mean including all the things i bought and then changed my mind on.. TONS of money.... if you just look at all the little things.. like all the autometer gauges, all the jdm stuff (all bought new) probably a decent amount... but its over a pretty long amount of time.. so no big deal |

How do you like your autometer gauges? Do you feel theyre accurate? Im looking at the Z series (plain old black ) for the future |

yeah they are straight.. i have fuel pressure IN the car now and i KNOW that its the same as teh b&m that was under the hood, AND i know the nitrous pressure one is also accurate, due to the NOS one i had for comparison.. and the tach matches the vafc so id say yeah.. everything seems good.. good price good quality.. good product |
