Good thing he powdercoated over that pink high temp paint

Looks good. Too bad it will not make your car any faster though

The aluminum wing should help the traction issues & the "Type R" stickers should add at least 70hp to the wheels. I wouldn't worry about slowing down.

did you guys not know, that painting a block traps the engine heat in making the gas combust stronger. Yeah that worth about 30 horse per piston....



looks good post pics when the engine is together!

powdercoat is the shizzle. It's so easy to clean.
Looks fantastic
