I actually looked into the rb25 engine. But 3k wow thats very expensive considering that prolly costs more than the car itself. Well expensive for me. 15k for your caR? wow nice. Personally i would just upgrade the KA butt the rb25 is a sick engine. I dont know much but it sounds like it shld be an awesome car once your done. Goodluck

Its no small block chevy, you can't walk into pep boys and get parts for it. It will sound cool and look cool too, the RB will sound way different then the KA or SR..............

Parts arent too hard since a little of the CA stuff will work... Phase2 also carrys alot of the maintenence stuff

fucken apc drift cars

A) You forgot the part were the 240 doesnt suck

B) As much as Id like to hate on team orange for being sponsered by APC, Kumakubo pwnz... so I'll play it off as since he doesnt live in America he doesnt know the full rice power of APC.

Well everyone wants something no ones has ever seen or something rarely seen or even something farely uncommon. It's all wanting to make a name for yourself and to stand out from the crowd and not just be another stat. I myself would rather be the one with the custom ideas and the one of a kind car than another carbon copy. It's the ultimate goal to be recognized for waht u have done and not for what u have copied. Originality wins, in most cases.

i just want my car to be fast.

[slideways...]

actually i heard rice is hitting big time in japan now
i heard that a lot of people over there are just going nuts over "got vtec" stickers and underglow lights and shit


and fuck origionality if it compromises quality
i see so much about how people wanna get cavys and saturns and shit to be origional, then think they are all badass with their car loaded with universal parts because no one makes anything that actually helps the car go fast. ill take my 240 over anything, even if nissan re-releases it and sells 1,000,000 more.
(xcept maybe a skyline, but only if i could drive it legally somehow)

[Importboom]

dont hate. using the "f" is goign a little far when i was talking about tasteful originality so dont get mad just cuz u dont like cavaliers and saturns. its ok. lol u know thats not waht i meant so stop tring to twist it

[SHIFT_KA24DE]

lolz... rice is booming in japan? they're probably mocking us. Pure performance is the normal thing to do and rice is the cool thing to do... the complete opposite here.

This is what all you USDM guys should be striving for:

you can't go into pepboys and get CA parts either...

sure there might be like 2 places online that sells stuff, but I don't consider that a lot, it limits your options and pricing....

UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH...


I went to phase2 clicked on the RB page and there were belts, water pumps, gasket kits, pistons... so unless your retarded it seems to be pretty easy.

Cant get parts for a CA Hrrmmm... I wonder what all the people with 88-89 Nissan NX's do... I bet they fly to japan to get all their stuff.

Limits options and pricing??? just because you cant walk in to pepboys and have 200 differnt brands of shitty generic parts at your disposal doesnt mean its hard to find. you just have to know what your looking for.
