Awesome build buddy! And an even better girlfriend. My ex hated the rap of my SA, but she's an ex now so brap brap! Haha I really love those fender flares by the way. They give the rx an awesome stance.

thanks lol the car is down right now, it over pressurized the oil system and blew and oil control ring. For some stupid reason i put 5 quarts of oil on the brand new engine i built for it, but its alright its just a sign to open it back up and port it to get the most of the hybrid i just bought

Took the engine apart and all the bearings spun on the engine my oil pressure gauge wasnt working but i think i had low oil pressure and starved it from oil oil pump was new the pick up had a new gasket dont know what happened but im guessing the oil filter collapsed. Already ordered a new mechanical gauge
