Re: Erik's 1999 Sedan LX

My car after fixing it myself.. I was getting charged 2,500$ at a local shop and didn't have the money to fix it so i decided to do all the work myself.. it turned out to be a bit over 300$ haha.. not bad for saving 2200$ right?? tell me what you guys think..

p.s. - I am still painting the hood and bumper by the way.. I will be doing that myself also.

Re: Erik's 1999 Sedan LX

Looks good..
is that a ebay turbo? looks like an ebay wastegate..
any reason why you ran the charge pipes that way?looks kinda weird,but i guess im use to how mine is facing down.dunno

also everything alright with that aftermarket steering wheel after the wreck? I want the momo EVO one,but scared to take my airbag out..since my accord is DD..ha

haha yes, its an ebay turbo.. but the turbo is rebuilt and bored out to ar.57 cus they arent really .57 even though it says that on the turbo, their like .48 i think.. and it has lifetime warranty now, as long as i have a filter on haha :D and it didnt fit the other way.. atleast i didnt try hard enough lol.. thats why the pipes are like that

and yeah the steering wheel is the same.. its good, lovin the grip too.. its a big difference compared to the stock one
