What kind of radiator is in it?

Are you positive about the mirrors because I want to buy a replacement and just want to make sure that if I buy a 96-01 passanger mirror it will match the drivers one.

Not sure what kind of radiator it is I will have to check when I get off work.

The CAI is the only thing on it now
Well I guess first on the list is to replace that mirror.
Then its getting black 5 spoke rims and black tint.
Tokico Illumina Gas Shocks
Full Poly Bushing Kit
4-2-1 Header
Intake Manifold
Cam Shafts and Gears
QTP Elec Exhaust Cutout
Sandblast and Anodized Valve Cover
Accel Plug Wires

Well I really just want about 20 or 30 more HP what would be the
most economical and reliable way to do that?
I dont know what color I want to go with under the hood
I was thinking red or blue but if I go red then the valve cover would
be red and that would be odd because it isnt a type r engine.

Yes, the 96-01 mirrors is what you need.

I did mine red just because I liked the look of it......I could care less what motor it is.....the red valve cover just looks better than black or blue....

nobody's fakin anything. I was sick of looking at my half black valve cover and decided since I was sandblasting my wheels I would do it at the same time so I could paint it. I like the look of the red with polished letters and polished 710 cap. I could care less if anybody thinks im faking having a Type R swap. To me it looks good.....better than black and definetly better than blue.

Who the hell is the fuzz and how will they get me? :wtf:
