IPLEZR 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2006 Thanks for all the good comments. Yea SITDWN is a fine example of the SR20DET conversion on these forums. The flame thrower should be alot bigger and feathered with the new exhaust tip i have now, dnt be shy to come over with a packet of marshmellows when you see me in town Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 have you considered a manual rack? = less hassel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPLEZR 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 i wouldnt recomend going for power steering ay, i went for manual steering. waaay less hassle, that is if you can even get a pump to fit??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 Try find a motorsport tight ration rack, they are just as good as power steering IMO, also puts less restrictions on the motor... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IPLEZR 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2006 what colour you goin for bro? the main colour is a Alfa Romeo blue (dark blue) customised,with lots of light blue and crystal gold pearls mixed in, and some high sparkle aluminium metalic to give it a wicked look in the sun all that over a black base to enhance the darkness of the blue. it will have 3 coats of clear then rubbed back a little then have 2 more final coats of clear for a deep glassy look (show condition) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
