Great shot to use to photoshop the rims in the colour you are considering.

The purple might actually be the way to go with those rims.

well they aren't the exact rims. once I fix the hub I broke and get the new lug nuts I'll get some pictures up and get someone to photo shop them gold and then purple.

sooooo race engineering sent me 86mm pistons instead of 86.5mm pistons...but they sent me the 86.5mm piston rings......fml. dunno if the block will be done this weekend like it was supposed to be.

inline pro just called, block has been hot tanked, bored, and honed and the new pistons came first thing this morning cause race engineering next day air'd them.

pics next week when I go home and get the block the turbo and various other parts that are sitting at my parents house waiting for me.

in other news my little stance project is just about done. gotta align it and most likely roll the rear fenders. then once I see how much clearance I have with the turbo downpipe and the new exhuast, if I end up doing that, then I might lower it a little more.

im still a little confused about turbo-charging
you know how the waste-gate opens when you dont boost, if you route those exhaust gasses to the floor is that called open dump. what r the advantages or disadvantages of doing that
i know many people just put those gases through the exhaust pipe
nd where did you get that catch can, looks so pretty

open: more power but louder, dirtier
closed: alot quieter and cleaner, all stock turbo cars are like this

the wastegate opens when the boost is higher than the wastegate spring can handle (say 8lb spring) at 9lb, the spring opens up and allows the excess gasses to leave the system via the dump
