<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DTN @ Jun 5 2008, 04:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>We need more pix. Pearl and metalic look best in the sun. They show how the paint transmits color. I liked your old paint job, blue included, but this one is more then likely badass too. I'll have to see at the Nationals. You're always doing the most wonderful things to your car mang.</div>

Thanks mang once I get my new enclosure in I'm going to try and steal some one elses nice camera to snap a few pics because this camera mutilates my color in sunlight!

Not bad at all, but a few small things I would change.

1. Get a 4 inch hole saw, or send me your timing belt cover, and cut the center out of that circle. Then put a polished timing belt sprocket under there (fidanza).

2. Blue spark plug wires? http://www.prdonline.com/catalog/product_i...products_id=187 Get some PRD's with the Neon Green wire wrap or maybe the Carbon or Grey colorwrap.

3. Did you paint that AEM intake yourself? Black looks bad ass on there.

4. Steel Mesh hose covers FTL! Get some good vacuum line to replace that crap. Be careful with silicone hoses though, as they soak up oil, even oil vapor, and turn blackish.

5. Replace that radiator with the Koyo, and get yourself some Samco Sport radiator hoses. http://www.samcosport.com/uk/available_colours.asp

I'm pretty impressed so far.

OH!

6. Go replace a bunch of your bolts in the engine bay with stainless, it really adds a nice look.

^Since when does Samco have purple hoses! OMG I need some! REDZ where did you buy yours from? I'd rather not buy them from the UK.

I've posted it up before, but any where you order from is going to come from the UK, that's where they are made, by hand, one set at a time, when ordered.

Whew!


Go to Optionsauto.com get their phone #, and tell them you want to special order the hoses. Last time I checked, as usual, none of their distributors list our items.

Anyways, give Options Auto the part number and color you want via the phone, and they have you pay like 1/2 of the cost, then the rest when it arrives in the US. Takes just over a month.

TOtal was $137 for me.

Actually, I take that back. Looks like Silhoses.com finally added us like I asked.

Tada!

Thanks REDZ.

I actually found this site as well: http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/merchant...t_Code=TCS262-C

They have them for $122. I may have to buy some.

Also, +1 on the PRD wires. Love mine.

1. They are not an dealer of Samco Sport, not listed on their site.

2. Those are not our hoses. The part # is correct, but the picture is not.

3. They spelled it Tiberon.

4. That's without shipping. I added it to a cart and ran through shipping, it's $10.50 for the cheapest one to me, UPS Ground, which sucks monkey nuts. So, that's about $5 cheaper than I got mine for.

Just thought you'd wanna know.

Search google using the part number, I found a bunch of non official dealers selling them, $117 and around that price.
