Ok in the last 2 weeks I have ordered:

REVi Intake
REVi Ram Air Duct
A/C and Oil Condensor Screens
Racing Beat Exhaust

AutoExe 4 point Front and Rear Strut Tower Bars
AutoExe 4 Piece Under Car Member Set
(Gonna Powder Coat to Match Shinka Color)

Chrome Under Hood Replacement Caps in the Shape of the Rotary Symbol
Oil Cap
Radiator Cap
Washer Cap
Brake Fluid Cap
Valve Stem Caps

I am hoping i can get all this stuff in and on the Car by the bar-b-que.
I need some ideas on some more stuff. Would like some more Chrome pieces, but the only thing i can find is sitck ons. Like door handles and stuff. Any ideas on more items I could get in and one the car by the Bar-b-que local guys?

I'm curious where you found those replacement caps. I've been looking and I can't find any I like. :D

It sounds like you've covered a lot of ground. Isn't the Shinka your wife's daily driver? Do you plan on taking it to the track?

uncivilracer

Yea it is her daily driver. Once I get a few more items in for it I plan to not only take it to the track (when I run my SRT), but take it to my friends dyno and see what some of these parts actually do on this car. Alot of before and afters. Said I could have the dyno anytime it isnt in use for like 100 a full day. So I am ok with that. He has to make something too.

There is a nifty site I found called: RotaryStuff.com. It has all these caps and a few more. At a decent price for a full replacement cap. I have talked to the lady and if we or a group make a bulk order she will reduce the price greatly as well. Let me know Ill keep in touch with her if you guys like the items. I have found tons of sites with unique stuff for this car since buying it. Will post up the list when i get a chance.

I don't know how much a difference the AutoExe bars are going to do. Seeing how our chasis is already unbelivably strong, combined with the fact your shinka has FOAM!!!... i don't know if adding this now will make a difference.
6 or 7 years down the road, i can see myself getting this as the chasis will "loosen". Right now i'm going for sway bars.

Well, if you do notice a difference from this, let me know... I'd really like to hear.

-Thanks


Oh also. Theres an autocross this sunday. are you coming?

uncivilracer

Where is it at? We would like to go that is for sure.

I hear that each chrome cap gives you an extra 3hp, except the valve stem caps they increase cornering ability, and the rotary shape adds another 1hp :D (I couldn't help myself after I read your other post about the dyno, sorry)

uncivilracer

Well thanks. Everyone needs some comedy relief. Well the Wife doesnt want alot of power at this point. And is refusing to lower the car. And as for the Dyno it was just to help people see what some of the parts I have can do for the car since I get dyno time at a decent rate. Just here to help others as I have been helped. So both the turbo upgrade and coil-overs are out for now. And for all out speed I have my SRT-4 as stated. There is no way I could get this thing near it in speed without rebuilding the whole dayum motor and I aint looking to do all that at this point.

But I did take that advice BigO and ordered some sways.

I expect something out of all the braces. They look real nice at least. >LoL<

if i were you i wouldnt powder coat them. I think they look awesome in red. Oh, and while im giving advice, i think your next mod after sways should be either supercharger or turbo

If you want to go. Let me know and we can meet up or something. Send me a PM.
Are you coming to BJs tonight?

uncivilracer

No the wifey couldnt get off tonight. She is trying to make as much money as possible. We are going on a cruise early next month and she wants to splurge and stuff. But we have jack to do on Sunday.

So you really think the red will look good in contrast with the Black Cherry of the Shinka?

I am so trying to talk her into a turbo for this thing. She is all like you have 2 turbo'd cars, why do you wanna turbo mine as well. I was like dont ask stupid questions please.

Well, then... sign up for the race. It starts at 9am, but you should probably show up around 8 so you have time to prep your cars and walk the course.
I believe entrance fee is only $25, and a few more if you need to rent a helmet.

Yes, i think the red would look great against any color.

If you want a few more chrome pieces, maybe the polished strakes & front rotary accent. I have a picture of them in the "exterior" section of the forum. For a few more hp maybe the RP Performance hi-flow cat, or SR Motorsports unit. Handling maybe a set of sway bars.
