michael Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Green was the undercoat I thought that at first but the answer given was... "This was the undercoat" with this pic: The interior looks finished *shrug* Last month he said "interior painted to match harnesses [takata],will leave bars through roof as is ,but will cover most of the cage in bride logo/leather,cam covers and plenum will go in green as well" Seems an odd combo but it's his choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 If you can drive then dont bother with traction control. When you say water spray do you mean a spray bar for the IC or a water injection kit? either wont do any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 water injection is a good safety mod but not needed for bpu. Keep the stock fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
