Ive had this thing in my garage for months, thought I might as well install it. Its a MSP splitter that I modified to fit the sedan lip, then I just riveted it on. Its a great addition IMO. Now, theres no way for me to get up my driveway with out scraping. hehe

This thread isnt gana get updated much any more. As I picked up this today:

[TWISFM]

nice...first thing...slam it.

 

[Protege03ak46]

no, first thing, drop in a KA24DE

 

[justanothermp5]

KA? why?

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

1 reason I could think..... Its cheaper to maintain

 

[ajkulish]

hey could you give me a link to where you got your camo wrap

 

[bullshark524]

the link he posted is the pic in the first post on page 12 aka http://www.powersportswraps.com/motorsport-vinyl/body-wraps/228/urban-black-gray-orange

 

[Protege03ak46]

The reason for a KA? For one there cheap. I can find one with a 5-speed for around $250. And honestly, I'm not trying to make crazy power. The car should weigh, sub 2000lbs once I'm done with it. And a power goal of 250hp will be way within the limits of a stock KA, with a decent tune ofcourse.

Corksport asked to use a picture of my car on there new we site. I said yes ofcourse....

what did u use? just reg red spray paint?

 

[Protege03ak46]

candy red hobby paint. like night shades in red; color, yet transparent. Matched the stock red color very well.

 

[justanothermp5]

awesome, looks good
i was thinking about buying some red vinyl, but spray would be so much easier, may have to get some of that
