nice! Yes atkins doesn't have the best rep...

waoah very impressive...

Well I was going with Atkins because of their local status (2mi from my gf's house) but I will look into the others. I am looking for a mid to large street port, 3mm seals, etc. My goal is 375hp to the rear tires daily driven. Granted that will kill my milage, but let's face it, if I was looking to keep my earth green, and my fuel consumption down I would drive a Echo, and find a new hobby. Good thing is, I have 0mi commute due to the fact that I walk down 2 flights of stairs and I am at work. Damn, gotta love barracks life, well becides the shitty living conditions.

As for my R32 wheels, I found a local R32 GT-R owner that wants to dump them off because of his recent purchase of some bling blings. $250 for the full set, I'll have pics in a couple days.

Don't get me wrong, I don't know everything about everything, and that is why I am on forums like this one. I know the basics of the wankel rotary, but I'll be honest. I could use to know a TON more. I can rattle off what it takes to make a honda h22a non-vtec, 2.0L, intake valves on the front of the motor, and turn 277hp to the front wheels n/a. But I know dittly **** about rx's so, I am here to learn. If you want to BS cars, or what ever, please feel free to IM me at any time. AIM pistonless87

I got a IM asking about my molded in pillar, so I attached a pic.

Would you consider doing that for others; the molding of the a pillar. I hate how mines looks, it looks so tacky.

A pillar looks nice. I want one too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

It was quite easy really. Just took a stock a-pillar from a junk yard car, the auto-meter dual gauge pod, and some good old bondo, and went to work.

I'll write a how to, and add pics later when I make another. I'll be more then happy to slap a limited number together for those that are not versed in the world of body filler. For those that want to try it themselves, I will have a how too posted within the hour.... keep your eyes open. If you can't do it yourself, or are nervious about messing it up, I will be happy to slap a couple together for those that need the help. Just IM me about it.

stock 2mm seals. none of this 3mm junk!!!!

Hey i'm 16 and can't wait ta learn how to do asorted body work and making a piller would be the awsomist small project that i could work on for my 7 so let me know when ya get that making a piller 101 thing up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
