Incorrect. The AUDM/JDM FS have higher compression ratios then the USDM model. Guys in the states still go zoom zoom boom alot on stock compression (9.1:1). Part of the reason (IMO) that familia doesn't make that much power is because of the tune he has to run.

Having said that the FP rods are a bit stronger so should hold up a bit better, FP also has a much much better rod ratio

Negative. The rods aren't interchangeable, using an FS rod causes the piston to clear the deck. (I recall the man posting that in our case the pistons are the same).

I posted about this somewhere on here long back when I was a but a young grass hopper. (I'm now just a bigger grass hopper :P)

Today I'm going to see the tech at Telstra for the third time (equals free phone) and then go to my shed, bleed clutch and move it into its deathbed and then go to skyfall with 450 others as a thank you for volunteering this year at church. Gonna be crazy parking haha.

Ben · 26-11-2012, 10:37 AM

As i was laying in bed at 9:30 this morning thinking how much i love the holidays, it has occurred to me that i wanted to get a ton of work done. I have not done a single bit of it yet.

Most of it was cleaning my bedroom...Probably cause i was staring at my floordrobe and the words "DUST ME" on my tv cabinet that has nearly been covered by dust again...Working on it mum.

I need to get the prelude painted and moved within a week and half. Hmmm, thats going to be my week this week.

You bastard *Hides scholarship receipt*

But yay for some SP20 love. Where does the re-spray fit in there?

BG1.8sp · 27-11-2012, 05:24 PM

Lol don't ask Ben. I'm now going on a holiday for over a week... And yeah.
ATM I have decided I would rather get my suspension and interior exactly where I want it before I do the respray. So I have honestly got no clue.
Could happen along with the other mods... Could happen later.

When ever I have a **** load of money to throw away... That's when it's going to happen

I second this motion. On the load of money, haha. Same or different colour respray??

I think my problem was that if I had enough money to do it, it would take me ages just to decide which colour to do it!

Going to he done in Mazda Stormy Blue Mica.

Wanted something similar... Yet fresher and more modern.
All my mods have been planned for the next 12 months

And knowing me... They will all happen. Lol

When I bought my car... I made a wish list... I have ticked them all off and more in the 18months

In other words... I spend too much money on my baby

Ahh, yeah, very classy. I've seen a couple 6's around with that colour.

I've only bought... counts on one hand, three things and it feels like a lot. I was quite interested in the cosmic blue mica as found on the 3MPS, but I saw a Mazda2 in the metallic orange that looked really clean, the green looks good too.
