LOLLLL ooooooooh dude your so right...


and that's why this is posted in the LOUNGE OFF TOPIC SECTION. if you notice i've been a member here for 5 years with 9k posts, have gone through a hand full of Z's and still have 2 sitting in my garage. one my dad's S30 and the other mine AND his S30 turbo swap project. both of which i put in an equal amount of work into as him. think i earned my place on the Z forum here and can post the new toys i get if i please.

i don't understand the angle of your post at all. im not offended, i just think your post is arrogant, pointless, and overall kinda reeeeaaaaally stupid. you just should have put some thought into what you were saying before doing so. THANKS!

yes, only honda's i'd drive, MAYBE an accord coupe or something as a DD. but yeah. there's a few S2K seats in my area for 500 i think. lol. if you come accross the red seats for a good price and not the black ones, buy them and i'll trade yah haha. the red interior on these cars looks kinda tacky, BUT if you have the black interior with just the red seats and door panels, i think it look SOOOOO damn sexy.

as for my post count, there truly isn't THAT many in the post ***** thread. i reckon about 1k tops. but who knows for sure. and bleach is right, HOWEVER, i remember the number we finally settled on in my current count was what the admins felt it should be, tho if i remember correctly it was under estimated, but ooooooh well good enough. cause i WAS tied with nismo about, then my post count got screwed with over a couple months then when set back i was like 2k posts less than nismo. so i'd have to say whatever i ended up with now, isn't to far off of what it would be.

Nice car Snw...should that not be posted in the wish it was a Nissan thread???

I dig the car and yeah, pretty sure in reality you are over 10K+ post...if I remember way back when they did mess with your count it was a hefty number.

By the way guys, I am all moved up here to Concord, NC...all is well and my chick is digging the closeness

while true ^^^ the AP2's have a much smoother TQ curve, they only make 8 more ft/lbs of torque and identical peak HP just a smoother torque curve which would be nice down low cause the AP1 is SOOOO SLOOOOOW until 6k lol. and i just got done lowering it about an inch. stupid thing is so properly tuned tho from the factory the only way to see handling improvements is with a quality coilover setup and right near stick ride height for proper suspension geometry. and to create HP on these cars you gotta get a bit wild, force induction, intake and full exhaust on these cars (with the best headers out there) you can see like a 15 whp gain. lol. SUCKS. but they are a BLAST to just buy and drive. like a big go-kart haha.

I dunno about s2ks but i know most k20 powered hondas(02-09 si's, rsx-s) have a ecu r3flash, that depending on your mods( works best with headers, intake, exhaust combo) it lowers the vtec engage to 4.5k smothens. The torque curve, and gives you a boost in hp and torque. If i remember correctly the average was about 15-20 hp and about 10-15ft/lbs of torque. Like i was saying i know they have it for k20s but im not to sure. About the s2k's f20 engine. On a side note, im writing from my cell so expect alot of errors
