everyone rocks RPF1s nowadays... they are the new rotas lol :P
BTW they are 17x9 +22 RPF1's in white from Enkei - haven't seen many other sets white from Enkei. Got a killer deal on them too from a dude selling on CRSX

i love the RPF1s but two guys in my club had them. Plus I have always loved the wedsports I have. Been waiting for years lol
Haven't updated this bish in a little while. New job is going awesome but I have had zero downtime. Couldn't ever get the thing to run right and decided I had issue in the bottom end.
Pulled the motor in 3.5 hours by myself. New personal record lol
Got the engine on the stand to start tearing it down and find out whats wrong.
Cylinder 1 piston looked a little too clean. Ruh rohhh
Cylinder 1 piston - Leaned out somehow and burned this little guy up.
Then it was off to the laptop to order parts!
In the meantime I started doing some work to my bay to clean it up.
Decided I needed to have it resprayed again.
Came out super fresh.
Decided to finally build a battery relocation tray. Mine has been mounted behind the passenger seat for over a year.
Still have a little more work to do on it.
Wiseco 10.2:1 87.5mm Pistons came in. Also got some Eagle rods and ACL bearings.
Traded in my 04' Duramax for a 2012 Honda CR-Z 6MT. With as much driving as I'm doing now it was stupid paying so much money for diesel. 40+ mpg's is epic.
Threw my RPF1's on it for shits and giggles. They are staying on the RSX though.
Been spending a lot of time mountain biking lately. Another new hobby I picked up that's costing me mod money lol.
That's it for now.
I'll update when I get more parts in (i.e. PLM Manifold and down pipe, Precision billet SC6262, etc etc etc)
Hopefully coming back stronger that ever!
Wow, awesome update. When do you think you'll have the motor back in? Loving the engine bay paint, the custom bracket, and the CR-Z. I want one so bad for a daily driver! Glad to see things are coming together, and I'm very glad to see you'll be going with a 6262

One-off SRT Top Mount Manifold - GT3076R
My Ruckus Build
If all goes as planned motor should be back in within a week.
I've been doing a ton of reading and for my power goals I'm thinking the 6262 is going to suit me well.
