Alot of car companies switched to SAE, its not JUST toyota.

This thread should be locked, do a search next time. Theres a good five different SAE threads now.

I dont think its required yet. You only have to use the new rating for new engines and engines that have been changed and would be rerated. If you didnt change it from last year you are not required to retest if you dont want to.
it is a new industry standard all manfacturers MUST use sae testing.

I dunno why, but does nobody know that those are the TRD wheels? They used to be an option on the Scions. I didn't buy them as an option at the time and got them here on the forum, but yah, they are discontinued now. They are Racing Hart GT5 wheels.
I knew they were the TRD wheels but I didn't know where to get them besides the dealership.

Only on revamped models, methinks.

So as of now, not everyone is on the new SAE standard.

I believe some point next year all manufactures go to the SAE rating, i believe. I could be wrong though, i do a lot have now gone with the new ratings and more should be following.

Very hot! You have great photography skills. I like your setup! I see your going for a very JDM setup. I would suggest you color match your grill. I did that and it cleans up the front end so much more. That and JDM badges.

Yah, the Honda badges make it so JDM.. haha.. plus I like how the red H on the back goes w/ the redout. Do you plan on getting the rest of the ITR lips? CF all around or just the front?

Oh yah, you can also DIY the front grill. I just got the paint made into an aerosol can at my local paint shop. paint matched with code and all.. masked everything off.. sand, and shot the paint.. turned out awesome.. was like.. a $40 mod but great turnout.

emillier -- how can you not love volks?? :droll:

i'm planning on getting some authentic jdm sides and rear lip and color match them to my car. kinda want dcrh and greddy evo2 first though. still undecided.

yeah, gotta love volks but i'm guessing the gold is what he doesn't like.

I love the ITR rear lip.. sides are alrite.. I like the USDM sides more, but since they sit lower, I'm iffy about them.. But yah, too bad we gotta color match anyways since champ white is pretty off from PWP.

DCRH and Evo2 are a nice combination. With your #4 flash, you'll see some nice gains.. You'll definitely be close to 200whp if not on the dot. I would say go DCRH and Evo2 since your car looks pretty good already so maybe give it a little go? I went reverse route from you. Did all the go first, and now I'm working on the rest.

Yah, gold wheel's ain't everyone's cup of tea.. I personally love them. I ordered gold ggames but with holiday and new years, it's delay'd and also currently out of stock in the US. They'll get here eventually.

rsx_freak, looks great. makes me miss my gsr. When you get those jdm sides and rear lip, it should look that much more amazing. I know someone with a 03' civic si with jdm front, sides, rear and about 90% of all his products he has, performance and exterior is from japan.

I heard that the red H badges are actually really popular targets for theft. I guess because they go on with 3m, so people just decide to rip them off other cars instead of buying them.

Meh.
