who said you have to bore anything?

the 850's fit fine, they just don't sit as low as the OEM 550's do in the rail, you may also need a slightly larger lower o-ring for each injector but i have put 850's in the primary location before with no issue.

I would be done for some paint ball. Got a case of paint from a few months ago that needs to be used =P

On another note, even though I don't have my 7, at least I can enjoy getting new parts! NEW OIL PAN WOOT!

i got an airbox from the mazda recyclers down here in Sac for an arm and part of a leg so i could get the car finished and out of the shop but thanks for the offer. needed it as replacement for a customers car who is working on getting his car transferred to california and needs full smog to pass.

Yea too bad HKS filters actually filter the WORST out of aftermarket filters. Apexi actually flows and filters the best.

It may flow better but it will be sucking hot air unless you actually have a decent cold air system setup. Tested and proven with my FC, as well as my FD on the dyno. It lost hp with the apexi duel intake as per the intake air charge was not as cool. I even started with apexi intake to give it the heat soak advantage...

If you hacked up the front end and got some decent air flow, or maybe one of those head light vents to get a little bit, it might help... but the intake system on both the FC and FD are decent at getting a cooler charge from the highway without other supporting air intake mods..

I got a cool idea for the next NorCal 7 meet...

I propose a competition for the best homebody kit. I think Nick will really enjoy competing. Basically, take a **** load of card board, tape, scissors and creativity to make whatever look you want to go for.

The range is wide open... anything from a simple ground effects kit all the way up to a wide body kit.

Oh and the loser gets shot up with paint *****....hehehe.

Just wondering...

Well lately I've been thinking about this hobbie o' mine and I've come to the conclusion... I can't keep FU@#ING DESTROYING MY CARS!!! So I've been wondering and was hoping for your opinion [Nor-Cal folks] ... should I...


A. Build up an FC for track, slide, etc, etc

B. Save up money and buy my dream car... '96^ Acura NSX...

C. Do what my dad say's and buy a race go kart...

any input would be apreicated...

I can't really see you with an FC over an FD. I can see you with an NSX though. I would save for a reliable but fun weekend car like the NSX. If you need more power supercharge it, I think there's a smog legal SC kit out there for the NSX. But it's not like it matters with your Florida plates. Go-Kart would also be fun but if that means leaving you without a fun weekend car I would pass on that.

Maybe I forgot to add that I wouldn't be getting rid of the FD!!! she'll just be a weekend car...

If you're going to keep the FD as a weekend car it's just going to keep breaking, so I don't see the point to your original post...
But since you're keeping the FD just get a race go-kart. I'll let you drive my NSX after I'm done with college But you're a big mother ******, can you even fit in a go-kart, sasquatch? Build one and i'll race it and we can all start a team haha.

breaking huh? Thanks for the vote of confidence! (Especially in Ben ) Im just looking for a different direction when it comes to a play toy... and so what if I'm big... I can always get a smaller steering wheel and a racing seat

Oh! and by the time you do graduate and get a decent job... I'll have the NSX, the go-kart, and an FC too!
