Some may know me, I had two SC's a few years back (dying to get another, especially while this build is in progress) I work at Project Import so either myself or SuperCilver will be doing updates on this thread periodically......Any questions or anything Im sure either of us will chime in. Also the wheels are in powdercoat right now, so new color will be coming shortly

[QUOTE=Wicked SC;5000462][QUOTE=SuprCilver;5000249]Thank you for all the kind remarks and comments!



[QUOTE=because I have a 98, vvt-i equipped vehicle. plus i'll be making more horsepower with it. With a full standalone it will yield better gains and gas mileage at the same time.

I hear you but if you're doing a full swap what does it being a VVT-I equipped vehicle have to do with it?

Also, I have to disagree with your making more horsepower with it but hey not trying to start a debate here. Good luck with your build and can't wait to see the final project![/QUOTE]

Thanks bud for the nice wishes. I understand your concerns and they all will be addressed throughout the build. I don't want to ruin the fun for anyone. I'll have it explained in clear detail why I'm going VVt-i once it's all said and one. I don't know about the more horsepower part because I'm sure I could make the same without VVt-i, but I'm 100% sure about power/efficiency when all is said and done.. and a little extra wiring doesn't hurt either.

They're great guys, Been working on all of my cars for a long time, and they're honest young men who work hard to get things done on time for me. I don't rush them, but they always over achieve my expectations.

i just sold my old set last month. didnt think they looked quite right on an SC.

anyway.. cant wait to see more pics of your build.
Yeah, I personally don't think they look right on an SC either, but with the Vertex Ridge wide body, I think I could pull a look off you guys will love. I can't wait to get it all done. Don't expect a fast progress on this, but I could say within a year.

Thank you Nick, I appreciate your guy's help over there with all my cars as all ways. You guys always seem to impress me on the quality, professionalism and ethics when it comes to working on these nice rides. and Sorry for handing you guys so many projects at one time. Haha..

Knowing this guy, he would probably want to mount a 255 instead of space it out...... Hes got 245/45's all around on his Accord
