my vote's for #1.

GT3 RS orange will be screaming for attention, i don't know if that's what you're going for. and i think definitely not the entire interior bright orange. it seems like that might be distracting and harsh on your eyes when you're behind the wheel. i'm just speculating haha

haha i think im going to go with oem silver interior with the cage and wheels being GT3 RS orange.

also: UPDATE! (this is a big one too so have your Kleenex at hand)

Going Saturday morning to pic this next small mod up. This might possibly make it faster than putting stickers on my car and paint. lol

Generic Image but actual item


JDM K20A Type R (complete)

I really wasnt expecting to pick up a motor and tranny this soon. In fact I was going to go K24 until this deal presented itself to me randomly. Im going K20R all motor!

no, no - not "ricey", because Factory Race Audi and Porsche teams often race silver cars with only the mirror colors differing between drivers...

Aauuggghhh, I'm repeating myself!

Anyways, it's gonna be raced, dammit! Doesn't count!

(retiring exclamation points and will come back later)

Just spray your race suite and driving shoes when you do the interior.... I've seen a lot stranger things done since being on this forum.

Joe, with all that you have done and in the process of doing I'm sure that you won't be thinking all motor very long

all about that power to weight. I really wonder what the difference between the L15A and the K20A R is. I can lift the tranny of the K20A R by my self. about 60 lbs guessing. Im going to weight both motors complete with tranny and all as one comes out and one goes in.

I would rather not worry about extra variables when it comes to racing. Id rather focus on suspension. I am a fan of the rotrex but Im no FI fan. Yeah its fun as hell to ride in your car but imagine 200HP all the time. and REAL VTAAAAAAK YO! haha

As it is right now, my power to weight is head to head with an NB miata. Cant wait to change that up a little
