i got them off of a wrecked yamaha R6 (for free)
so yea, NA KA single slammer for now, then hopefully in the near future i can have SOHC turbo w/ ITBs.
right now im debating whether to just get this engine running with all stock components or somehow getting it to work with the ITBs.
i need to do a lot of research.

so i had a bit of problem with wheel fitment. 15x8 and what looks to be around -15 offset with 195/60 tires. 195/60 is fail i know but im saving for some 195/50 or 205/45 right now, any advise on tire fitment would be great. oh and i am picking up some 15x8 offset 0 on monday for the fronts from www.autornd.com <- good people.
so i had this:
test fit fender flares at 0 camber, pretty flush:
then a no suspension shot at like -5 camber (RUCAs are on the way):
and my car at its current state:
my car should be running by august 1st finally...had the car for over a year.
