The US spec engines made 250 horsepower @ 5600 rpm and 260 lbs ft of torque at 4400 rpm

The Japanese engine’s output makes around 300 horse

I believe its more like 290 crank hp...

FOR SURE, it needs a drop bad... I'm waiting to get my JIC coilover set up**

Do you think you could do a wire tuck on that engine?? It needs to be cleaned up BAD!

Looks like you didn't get the headlight resealed all the way. Use some silicon sealant around the edges and hopefully it will stop leaking.

Those are not the same wheels...

Wait... You are a girl? Now I see why! My fiancee says the same thing, along with every other girl I see LOL

02-07-2009, 11:22 PM
Thats crazy...

A couple years ago I had an MR2 with the same sport max wheels(bought them gunmetal and had them painted black/polished lip).

And my current vehicle has the p45's on it also...

I guess you can say we have a similar taste in wheels...

Brian*
02-09-2009, 08:06 AM
LOL true, I wanted to repaint mine black with the red lip... looks like you beat me to it!!

I saw one that color yesterday, but it was not the hacth* It sounded pretty mean, but it was pulled over on crooked creek conn... Then I saw it in B-ville later on* Do you know who drives it?

Oh, and when my car gets back together we need to take a little trip down to the drag strip.. Get some of the guys off of here (IA) and do a little race car drivin LOL Then maybe head out to get a bite to eat!! PM me and we will plan something~

Haven't seen it that I recall.


And sounds good to me. It'll be a few weeks before my stuffs ready to go... but It's pointless to go the first few weeks anyway. I have to replace my timing cover gasket and I'm getting blow-by from somewhere :no:
