Well, it's a good starting platform. Looks like you've been giving it the TLC it needs.


However, that velocity stack is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Looks totally out of place, and ugly.

[mercyboy]

[crazymikey]

Props for tearing shit apart.

[slammed91cb7]

looks good nice work so far

[SilverFox]

Thanks guys. Would have been done by now but HOA says we can't work on our cars in the driveway plus I've been doing it all completely on my own the only help I've accepted was the use of a few of my father's power tools. I just hate the damn head bolts with a passion (snapped a wrench and broke the bearing on another trying to break em loose.)

Jotech used a velocity stack the same way and their civic put down very nice numbers. It was over 320hp. Granted there was a ton of engine work done on this car.

Go isotopes!

[SilverFox]

Well my build isn't quite halfway complete. And Quashish how is that post relevant in any way?
