Pie! There's a 22B in Canada!? Wow, didn't think ANY of them made it to North America, especially since they're all RHD. Yeah, if you have a vid, post it! And wait a minute,... there's a Raliiart in Canada?! Damn, why doesn't the US have any of those. I think they're finally bringing in Ralliart officially now that they've brought in the Lancer Evo, but I haven't heard of a Ralliart shop yet. BTW, Pie, just curious, but are you Chinese and are your parents from Hong Kong maybe? Just wondering about all the "Aiya"s. Wonder how many Chinese/Asian car nuts there are on this forum. I happen to be one, and I think strakka's at least part Chinese too.
As for car mags, think I kinda like Sport Compact Car. They have decent articles, how-to's on mods of different vehicles and they usually have prices for stuff. Can't stand the kinds of mags that are paid by manufacturers to put their product in the magazine but there's no real review of how good the item is and no price. They just put it there as if it's a review but it's basically no better than another ad. Sellouts! Also like the Brit mags, mostly 'cuz they have a interesting sense of humour and they review lots of cars we don't get in North America so they have a better base for comparison. Look at the US Lancer Evo VIII for example, the rest of the world has driven the previous iterations and can compare the VIII to them as well as all the previous STi's and GT-Rs so the US spec Evo VIII sucks in comparison, but the US reveiwers all just go crazy over it. "The new Evo VIII is incredible!!! Blah, blah, blah." Yeah, whatever.
Hmmm... my apartment is beginning to look like a car parts warehouse. Hopefully once all the parts are in, I can get around to reassembling my engine. With all the parts I've got, it should be able to safely handle 1200 hp, but I'm not going anywhere near that much. Darn it, with all the nice weather, I'm impatient to get my VR-4 up and running again!
