    Can't believe this is from my city, gold decals mkiv.

    The Integra Type-R was more race car than economy car, but I won't get into the arguement... It's like the "true" sports cars back in the 60's compared to the muscle cars (and of course the sports/muscle cars like the Corvette). Totally different type of car for totally different types of...

    No, seriously, the blocks are weak meaning you can't really push them nearly as hard as you can a KA... I'm more scared of a boosted KA than I am any SR...

    Koyo Radiator Probs?

    Same as him ^^ Though I've noticed that the side parts rest on the sides of the radiator support (NOT good as it's not supposed to be grounded). Koyo's seem to have gone downhill. The old ones were made in Japan and said Koyo Race on top, now they say KoyoRad and are made in India...
