I was going to make a thread dedicated to mike.
It was going to be called "SWANK"
thats all it would say too.

[BRYCE™]

dang those things are nothing like what we have in the state.

whats the insides look like?

[BRYCE™]

^^ Interiors are GAY
typical Honduh cheap plastic shit, kind of commercial like, not nice at all. I plan on finding a dash that would somewhat fit and try to retro fit it in, like maybe a Fit dash or something, possibly Honduh so I could use the harness or something.

They have bench seats front and rear stock, which is kind of cool, but aftermarket companies make leather bucket seats (not like racing bucket, just normla luxury style) and the pair for front is only like $400.

I think the S-MX is loosely based off a C-RV, it has a B20B engine, FF layout, but there is an optional 4WD version.
I kind of think some of the suspension underneath may be the same as CRV possibly.

oh, i ordered those new URAS Exsol wheels in chrome, 18's
not so cool on big cars but will look hot on the S-MX

In other news, I also have had this thing for a while now,

Forgive me for bumping this 4 year old shit back up, but I want that dump pipe and can't find it anywhere on yahoo, any of you dudes able to point me in the right direction?

Ash, it had a slight exhaust leak that got worse and worse, it was because I had to grind down that little fin that divides the turbine and wastegate exits. I took a bit too much off so the exhaust coming out of the turbine side would leak over to the dump pipe section which sounded like an exhaust leak... and i HATED that sound. However, it sounded pretty mean when the actuator opened up, lol.

If i was going to do it over again, I would take the stock flange to a muffler shop (or ZT friend) and have them make a long one piece dump pipe instead of that little shorty + down pipe.
Of course, if I was really doing it again, I would go straight for aftermarket turbo + ex. wastegate + stainless manifold and change the flange to a T3, (the stock flange is something odd, like a T3 turned 90 degrees)

forgot about this whip! man i cant believe you drive a minivan. get another sedan. man look correct in a town car

[chmercedes]

[Ash]

Thanks Mike! I think I'll wait and have a downpipe built. I've got some trust system from the stock downpipe, so it's still pretty restrictive.  I'll be heading down to aphexros in Portland to get new turbo/manifold and a tune.

Probably going to go with the Tomei arms kit that Elitenick is running after I grab some new wheels.

These cars are seriously one of the most fun cars I've driven in a long time.
