And what does that mean? Are you college educated? Is this a dick measuring contest? My dick got me an internship for Philip Morris USA, which is a fortune 500 errr, 100 company, and the college I am graduating from has a very good business program. Sorry if my car would be a hit in a high school parking lot, but high school is longggg gone, bud. Don't be hatin when I'll be making 6 figures by the time you comprehend the validity of your understandings.
****in wackos in here, gotta do everything myself.

Its not a sticker its actually a raised aluminum emblem that cost about 40 dolllars, and no it does not increase horsepower, repeat, does not increase horsepower. Thanks though.

LOL, why am I a wacko just because I'm not feeling your stickers/gauge pods? I'm not comparing **** sizes, I'm simply saying that the mods you have done are typically the mods I've seen people your age do. I'm only 29 and trust me I was the same way when I was younger, with my 99 Mercury Cougar lol. I look back on that car and see I made a lot of mistakes. I'm older now and I just prefer mods which have a purpose. You can say those 3 gauges do this and that but in all actuality, they serve no purpose on a stock engine, just like those stickers...

If you didn't want at least 1 person to talk ish, you wouldn't have posted them in a thread. So you can thank me later....

Do something more to your engine bay than just slapping stickers everywhere, look up the DIY on wire tucking, that would impress me....

And as far as dicks are concerned, "My dick got me" 4 years of service as a Marine, 6 years of service in the Army, a degree in Business Admin from Franklin University, 2 tours in Iraq, and you couldn't even begin to imagine the quality and quantity of of girls between the 19 countries I've been through.... Life isn't all about money BUD.....

Looks good, but i would swap the water temp over to oil temp to make it usefull. Fuell pressure is nice, but where are you putting your boost gauge when you go FI. Other than than, just to clean. Go flog it a bit, have some fun. VIR can't be to far away.

I dont understand why ur hatin on my stickers when they simply are hidden away. 8 out of 10 people like it, and thats fine. I'm not tryin to start something like the other youngins do. I may only be 21, but I can speak for myself I have been through a lot in my life and know what its like to be respected and have respect. Lets not our dicks get in the way of that, lets leave the dick slapping to the minors Thanks for your service! I like the gauges because I used to have issues with my engine overheating slightly last summer due to a faulty thermostat, and just wanted to make sure the water temp stays where it should be and doesnt get to the levels it got to last time. I will swap out the fuel pressure with the boost, or put another gauge in the nav console to have it there. Didn't mean to disrespect, I just didnt want to be flamed by someone else when there has been way too much goin on here.



On the video.....it was rather funny

You already have a water temp gauge, it comes stock on the car. No it doesn't give you degrees but who cares. Oil temp is a huge concern, especially on a HR, you don't have a gauge at all for that. Also usually they work together, if ones goes up , so does the other.

BTW just saw the Nismo decal on the steering wheel, IMO very tacky looking.

It's cool bro. Some people like things that others don't. Overall you have made some good decisions with the Gen3 intakes and test pipes. You upgrade the wheels and suspension yet?

What kind of TT are you going with and what are your plans with the engine? I had the 18G Greddy TT on my 06 and that thing was a beast, before some Mexicans crashed into the back of me doing about 70. They now offer the 20G kit but I wouldn't get the bigger turbo's unless you plan on building your engine and aiming for high HP. My 18G would spool up right at 3,200rpm and from what I've seen on the 20G's they don't get spooled until about 4,300rpm. That's if you go the Greddy route....

I'll be going with the 18G again when I build HR because I'll only run 10-12psi on a stock block again. I want to hit 20,000 miles first though and I just barely turned 5,000....

Just something to think about. You sound like a smart dude, I'm sure you'll do your research....

I havent upgraded the wheels or suspension yet because I still think, to me, theyre more than enough. However, I will go the route of coilovers, either tein flex or HKS Hipermax..have not decided yet.

As for F/I, I have it narrowed down to the GTM kit. I was rather pleased with their new supercharger that they have made, but I havent heard many reviews on the longevity of the unit as it has just been released, but that is another option to pursue! I know the HR block can handle a mild dosage of boost so I think I want to just take baby steps and when I am ready to turn it up, thats when I will be investing my time and money into building the engine with new pistons, etc.

I'm happy where the car sits now, its just I am at the point where I've seemed to reach its potential with bolt ons and the tune, and if I am just going to do more, I would just go with FI. I will have concrete plans somtime by mid May, early June what setup I will go forth with. Thanks for the time to post information to help me with my goals.

If you like the current height of your car, don't waste your money on those coilover. Just get a quality set of Koni's to go along with your Nismo springs once the stock dampers wear out a bit. If you do decide to get coilover look into something that would be an upgrade like KWV3 or clubsports.

I am happy with the height as it is being that I still feel low to the ground. However, I had "beefier" tires on my car (265 fronts, 285 back) and it may have raised my car up by a couple cms? The rear tires are gettin kinda worn after almost 15k miles (bridgestone potenza re-11, which are the most amazing tires I have had the opportunity to drive on) I think I'm gonna go back to oem sizes or go 255 front 275 rear to cut some of the weight down.
