    Re: legend type R upgrade

    So what's the deal with that car, is that the Openloop modified motor, but with all the stock components back on like intake and exhaust manifolds? And stock ECU again? If I need B20A parts, would you be willing to sell for the right price since you have 3 motors?

    Awesome sounds like time to pour a few bucks into the 3g Could you elaborate a little on the brake parts? are the legend rotors for the front or rear (i thought it was the rear legend calipers and brackets that were needed)
    NEVER argue with an idiot! They'll drag you down to the're level and beat you with experience!

    yeah its the rebuilt motor but with everything back to stock....all my a20 parts are going back to the engine. so it will be back to the 160whp range if not better.

    straight bolt on

    also if you are using the loaded pads remove the thin metal plate attached to the pad it will come off and dig into you rotors

    You'll have a nice choice of brake pads as well.
