Do it once, do it right..You did a "custom" exhaust on your civic too, then changed it. You did a "custom" exhaust on your miata to...now you wanna change it. Do somthing right, so on page 135 we dont have to help you pick another exhaust.

$600 is a WASTE, you just have to know the rite people for the job. I've had a custom turbo back exhaust on every car I've owned and have had zero problems while definitely getting the most power out of them. Most exhaust's that are made from a company aren't as straight or free flowing from what I've found.

Exhaust fast: (sounds at around 56 seconds are backfires)

Well I must say, the exhaust sounds a lot more tame/controlled/whatever you want to say than I originally imagined.

Love the turbo whine at idle/slight up rev, if it's audible on your car with a cat and 10,000 feet of piping, I can't wait to catless 3" downpipe to a foot of "exhaust" on my car haha.

nah but for real. Sounds real good, car seems to be hella snappy for what it is which is awesome. Good stuff man. Just need a shoulder mount for the camera so you can use both hands like usual.

no homo.

Considerably.

I was waiting for a crackhead to steal the camera.

The guy from youtube on my other vid said "side note: it'd be funny if your camera got picked up and started running away."

CleanNeon98 · 05-25-2009, 11:26 PM

Now I'm kind of on the fence about what I want to do with the car. Keep doing what I'm doing now and build for performance or fade away from the mainly performance theme and build a nice cruiser that can still perform. The problem is I don't really want to use cheap parts on the car and to build what I would want with quality stuff would cost a LOT of money. I'd want something that sits decently low with a wide wheel/stance but still performs and looks agressive.

Something possibly along those lines. I'm not jumping the gun on anything yet and still want to consider all options, I think a simple powdercoat of the wheels and small spacer with an H&R spring instead of the FM (will then be evenly low) will look good and still perform well but a part of me does want wide wheels.

What's your input on the situation?

CleanNeon98 · 05-25-2009, 11:46 PM

If I do end up re-coating my wheels, I may go for something like that color, BBS calls it Plasma and I think it was a factory color for a few sets of the BBS RK. That with the H&R springs and 5-8mm spacers all around may leave me content for summer.

disturbedfan121 · 05-26-2009, 12:48 AM

that front lip looks like the TDR lip.... http://trackdogracing.com/website/air_splitters.htm

i have the one for my racing beat type II......looks great and many other agree

DPancoast · 05-26-2009, 01:35 AM

I like the wheels on the car in that pic a lot actually.

motorvated · 05-26-2009, 01:47 AM

I think they are Rotas.

How do you plan on getting this color?

Bonehead performance said they could do it with a black chrome topped with clear.

CleanNeon98 · 05-26-2009, 01:11 PM

And one last look at the Plasma RK

motorvated · 05-26-2009, 01:19 PM

What are the spring rates of the H&Rs?

My current rates with the FM Springs are 318 front, 233 rear.
Rates with the H&R Race springs are 320 front 275 rear.

I guess the rear is stiffer to keep the back end from squatting down a lot, the FM springs have rake which levels out when you are on the throttle, so I suppose these get rid of rake and keep the back end pretty level under acceleration.

motorvated · 05-26-2009, 01:47 PM

How much drop do they offer for your car? Why not go with a Ground Control setup, so you can adjust it?
