RE: Time for me to pic *****
My buddy videoed it but he put it on a dvd and I can't figure it out how to copy it to the laptop and post it. With the coilovers adjusted for drag racing it very hard to drive because of the bouncyness and it makes it hard to break the tires loose for a burnout. I think the biggest thing that helps get the wheels up is the megabite jr control arms and weight reduction.

1. What's above your radiator? New reservoir? Where can i search for one?
2. What's with the steel braid lines?
3. I'm assuming you did the battery re-locate to the trunk? Have any pics of that?
4. In your signature, it says "Buit" what's that?
Thanks,

I think canton makes aftermarket coolant resevoirs like that. Not positivie but the ss lines are usually a braided sleeve that goes over stock rubber hoses(spectra) or an actual braided ss line(pricey). I think buit is a typo for built as in forged shortblock(crank, pistons, rods). Alum d/s is an aluminum driveshaft im assuming (helps with parasitic hp loss).
Oxfordgt: clean lookin ride. Werent you gunna spray some blue stripes on it though?

The trickflow is great. After 4000 rpms it really kicks in. My friend, that drives a rsx type s, says it feels like when his vtech kicks in
. I'm leaving in 2 days to go back to Iraq, my vacation is over, and will start saving up to finish the car when I come home. I can't wait mainly because I tried running at the track and killed the tranny on the first run. I really thought the axles would break first but oh well. By the way I have less then 300rwhp (not sure never dynoed) but I pulled the front wheels off the ground 6 inches. LOL then couldnt get it in to second gear.

RE: Time for me to pic *****
What I really like about your car is you can see that you really researched and built a car that works well as a whole. I see a lot of guys (myself included) that get caught up in buying this part and buying that part but don't really think about how everything is going to work as a whole.
