It has a good header on it!
umm, hate to tell you bud, but it isn't a header. its a turbo manifold.
the car itself is pretty damn rice (for god's sake, the chrome euro taillight is TAPED ON), but i would take the engine in a heartbeat. i guess thats what happens when you mix lots of money with bad taste

Does anyone agree with me on the point of lets buy stuff to go faster then weigh the car down with lots of stereo upgrades. Pointless in my mind.....

yes, but to be fair, look at his turbo setup. though i'm still asking myself "wheres the radiator?" [sm=ummmmokay.gif]

At least it's making decent power. I've seen EGs with those same modifications that have the stock D15 even with the stock air box.

EDIT- I can't believe the taillight is taped on and there's no radiator. Good eye, Mossy. I don't understand the Ice Age theme either. And another thing I'll never understand is why people like this can't just pick one color for the engine bay and get everything in that color. Looks much cleaner IMO.

#1...(as pointed out before)......no radiator.
#2........um air filter is kinda just floating there? OR hooked up backwards?
#3.....correct me if wrong but isnt this where the turbo itself would be mounted to the manifold?




RICE!!!!!!!!!
