    Hard Pipes

    no, it's not polish, it's 'slag grit'. when I rub my hand along the uncut, unpolished weld something like a coarse sand comes off.

    Hard Pipes

    I am mostly worried about the grit coming loose and getting into the engine and turbo...I suppose it just gets a scrubbing then?

    msp's top speed??

    I hit 199km coming down a moderately steep hill. I am not sure if I hit a limiter or not. I got the feeling though that that was balls out.

    0-60 "Civic Type-R" gets owned

    I think that it was probably the camera man making those comments, but I like to think that it was the driver, and he was serious, making the comments as it is funnier that way.

    0-60 "Civic Type-R" gets owned

    I wonder why the guy sent that original video, the one with him exclaiming 'oh s*** that was fast' and proclaiming it as a 0-70 run, to a SRT forum....those kids eyes must have been tearing from laughter, I know I got a good chuckle

    Mods you have regreted or regret and Why?

    I had a prelude with shaved handles and will attest to the fact that they were a pain in the ass... my neighbors kid did seem to think that it was pretty cool climbing through the trunk as well

    Mods you have regreted or regret and Why?

    I regret trying to change the colour of the interior pillar covers. See, I bought an A-pillar 3 gauge pod (which in itself is a little ostentatious and somewhat regretable I suppose) and I figured since I was going to have to paint it to match the other pillars, I might aswell just change them...

    Losing Boost

    well that is the thing I'm not sure if it really does feel slower, or if I have just become velocitized....I will check that vac line though...it is a distinct possibily...was fitting the pillar about a couple days prior....crossing fingers. Thanks...

    Losing Boost

    generally runs at about 5-6 now it is 3-4. I will check for leaks, but I really doubt that there are any, I was quite careful putting them on (with exception of the slight size discrepency of course:). I was more suspicious of the cold as this was when I first noticed it. Does cold weather...

    Losing Boost

    This is my situation, maybe someone can lend some advice. I have a 3.5MSP. I have been noticing a drop in my boost level...it now appears that I'm only hitting 4psi. This is after: 1) I changed the vacuum lines about 6-8 weeks ago. I did not note a loss in boost at that time. I will...
