hell yea man, looks good.
tommy, so you have evidence that, that strut bar does not perform as well as any other one? As far as koyo's go, they are the biggest piece of shit radiators, i have personally had two fair and have seen another one leak the second it was pressurized. i see no point buying something just for the name. if its a detrimental part then yes but simple shit is nice to save some cash and put it somewere else more needed.

Dude the strut bar comment was just supposed to be funny, due to him whining about me calling him on stuff he bought knockoff of, and calling me an asshole

Oh yeah, My koyo didnt have any problems for months in my car, daily driving every day, weekend drag duty, and one straight drive of about 24 hours without stopping for anything other than fuel and food, drivethru on the food.
Having problems with non knockoff stuff, you're doing it wrong, I dont need to look any further than the welds between a knockoff and a koyo to see that theres better quality in the koyo, if you dont think they take it further than that, you're wrong.

Nope, i'll probably be working on making someone elses car nice rather than bolting my giant parts bin together, but here if you want to get started on your research to knock something on my car:
Interior:
Stock, black, uncracked dash
Bride Ergo seats, black hyper centers, on bride rails
Sparco Lap 5 steering wheel (new)
NRG hub (if you're going to try to knock this for being high end, take a look at the "better" ones and tell me you really want that 1980's ribbed for her pleasure mounting crap in your car.
Pro5.0 shifter, Leather wrapped shift knob
Power windows/locks
Exterior:
Stock body, looks about the same as yours
OEM type X front bumper, complete nearly new
OEM type X taillights, again nearly new
OEM Skyline R33 GTR Wheels
Drivetrain:
02 Cadillac escalade 6.0L longblock
New OEM LS6 corvette intake manifold
GTO oil pan
New water pump
New underdrive balancer
New Katech billet aluminum belt tensioner
New OEM LS7 corvette clutch/flywheel
New ARP bolts for half of the engine
New Comp XER camshaft
GTO T56 transmission, billet synchro keys, bronze fork pads, steel 3-4 shift fork
Q45 VLSD
OEM J30 front 5 lug hubs with new timken bearings
R32 GTR front calipers
Z32 Rear brakes complete with ebrake setup
S14 rear subframe
New koyo KA radiator
Theres probably a few more OEM, or non knockoff parts im missing, but hey, ready, set, GO find the knockoff or junk
PS i'll save you the time, its not there, if its not replaced with something quality, it's been left alone, if you want to simply reply with "ok, I was dumb and attempted to try to call you on running knockoff also" i'll just delete my post.

still just cause you don't see it fit to buy cheaper parts you dont need to bash on someone who puts all there money and effort into something. fuck that radiator is still 10x better than a stock one.
on some stuff you do get what you pay for but it is worth buying namebrand on important stuff that could result in a blown engine if bought knockoff. i myself dont usually buy knock off shit, but i dont ridicule someone over it. everything on my personal car is worth every penny i paid for.
