Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums here, and I am really interested in my car I just purchased. I wanted to ask some advice as well as opinions.
The body has 191k miles with about 40k rebuilt motor miles. Its clean as a whistle in and out.
#1. H22a swap or Turbo the h23a. I have read that the ssautochrome guy sells good priced turbo kits, minus the quality of the manifold. and downpipe. Which should I go for, I will have about 2000$ come about july.
However I am very interested in the VTEC engine, but I hear its difficult to run boost, and since I live in Jersey with no REAL knowlegdeable(sp?) performance shops around to do the work for me. Since I am not sure how long my current motor will last which do you advise I should pursue?
#2. The digital gas and temp gauges glow a sick ass bright blue, yet my tach and speedo don't match exactly (gauge cluster is a dimmer blue) is it supposed to be that way or can I turn it up, like I can turn the digital down?
#3. Taillights. The OEM taillights are alright but I am looking for something to match the JDM headlights I plan to order. Do the paintable covers look good painted? or should I just smoke the OEM lights slightly? Or is there a set of black housing aftermarket lights that look good? I can't find any I like anywhere.
#4 Wing. What wing looks good on my car, I am a fan of the Universal GTR wing that is sold at
www.visionautodynamics.com, but my friend who does my work for the car says it looks too ricey. His opinion is valued to me but so is mine.
That's all the questions I have right now, any suggestions, advice and input is greatly appreciated thanks guys!
