well, he made the comment that he hasnt run it, so i thought that it may have at least been dyno tuned...

Ckeeps cracking & pissing me off.. look at how many times the wastegate runner had been welded, & its has another small crack there again, & on #1 & #2 runner. Ive had it tiged & miged to many times,so **** it.. Im forking out $630 for some nice **** before dyno day.

i thought that i would be fine, even though my track wheels are off of a RWD car...at the track, we took a sledge hammer and a piece of wood and beat the inner lip of the rim out so it wouldnt rub...

Wow, your screen name makes sense now. Lol, except for that ginormous front mount your car looks like just another civic. I bet you really surprise people in that thing. Get some paint and you'll have quite a nice ride. I dig it.
