where did you find that vht red wrinkle paint, all we've got around here is the black stuff? i've looked everywhere.
oh yeah... only my second post on this forum, so i gotta say something newbie-style, with appropriate bad grammar and worse intellect.
No way they have a sohc type r i saw this one type r engine they also make a sohc mugen engine. i think it puts out like 1000hp. my friend told me his wing gives him downforce when the v-tech kicks in on his mugen engine, thats the only way he can stay on the road with all that power. and his car is really loud so i know hes got that much power.

i second the aircraft remover, i used it to strip down some black rota wheels, polished em out and got them clearcoated (not w/ duplikote hi-temp lol) . took the paint off in two coats, keep in mind this rota-factory paint is powercoated and meant not to come off under any conditions. two coats and a pressure-washer was all it took.

Ok ladies and leghumpers, I am back after a long time away due to no time and a lot of other more important crap to take care of.
I will try to answer all the questions that I can, or at least the ones I remember.
I got the paint from Summit Racing's website.
Gingas, where in maryland? I am in WV.
And I dont remember a Type R SOHC, but you will have to ask one of the mods on that one.
