    I've been looking at the photo of your car on the trailer, I think it would look good with body color flares instead of black.

      I thought about it, but it's staying black for now...

        I like the black, it ties in with the other black bits and the cf and helps make the horrible(but awesome)color look better. Also its mad JDM yo

            I'm definitely in a hurry, but not so much that I a going to trash a 10,000 dollar motor...

              So you're entrusting it to an Aussie ECU designed and built by drunken koalas and numbats?!

                  Did you ever consider an Electromotive? They're pricey and not plug an play but they are good units. My brother ran one on his RX-7.

                    Good call on the AEM. I wasted an unreal amount of time and money screwing around trying to run one on my race motor. On my 3rd attempt to send it back for service I ordered a DTA S80 at nearly half the cost of the original AEM. The DTA setup easy and worked absolutely perfect! I traded the AEM for a set of tires after not being able to sell it.
