Daniel, you never cease to amaze me

too bad you dont have as much room to work as you did in the compartment of your rXPL, right? :P


I do have a serious question. What are you going to use to charge the batteries if you're using an amplifier and possibly subs? (or was that part a joke?)

Ever thought about dropping the 4tec scic into a civic hatchback? lol

That thing would probably boot!

im seriously considering a 4tec custom chopper.
ive allwas wanted to build one from the ground up.
and the 4tec snowmobile motor with the vts transmision would be perfect.
only time and money are keeping me from dooing it.

im going to use a duel battery isolator and a second batt for the stereo

Rapid,where do you find all these 4tec engines? I`m in need of a block.

CRS
ebay-- a few times a day.
they pop up every now and then, you just gotta be ready to "buy it now" cause they tend to go up very quickly.
unfortunatly these were 185's and im going to have to change a few things (overdrive gear set,ecu,external ic,etc) to get them up to what i want. but i have missed a few 215's that have been listed.

[FireFox]

What a G subs in a ski that thing is going to be sweet. Who cares how fast that thing goes it's going to be loud! And in a good way.

[Pale Rider]

Hats off to ya again Daniel!...PR...

[PAINKILLER]

bananas freakin bananas!!

bump bump bump.

[rapidacceleration]

got the gauges in last night.
still got alota wiring and other stuff left but it may be in the water in a few weeks

I can picture myself going in a no-wake with my hood speakers then all of sudden here comes Daniel cruising in bumping so loud the water is vibrating around his ski and it rattles my ski so much my speakers fall off.
You need to get an lcd on that thing and it would be hilarious to put flowrites on it with spinners so the hot air leaving would spin them

Daniel: Looks great bro!...PR...
