Nice job Bleh, a nice subtle but destinctive custom job. One thing I might consider though is to paint the gray fog light surrounds black to better integrate them.

You took a European vacation with the money you saved? Please don't say you didn't take any pictures.

Awesome. I'm moving to Key West Florida next month, so I'll be seeing many new things myself. Seeing as it's basically a 24/7 vacation destination, 90 miles from Havana, it'll be a big switch from my neck of the woods in Indiana. A great place for artists though.

Pffft, you don't go the Keys to surf. You go there to chill out, parasail, jet ski, fish, kayak, sail, scuba dive in the nation's only living coral reef, dive for ship wrecks, skinny dip, etc. And that's just in the water.

With all that, who want's to surf??

<----this one right here.

all that stuff is cool and sailing is really awesome. but aside from that non of those others can come close to what surfing does to you. manipulating the physics of waves is just such an amazing thing. there is just so much power. sorry im probably going off the deep end.

it does sound like hawaii....without waves, japanese tourists and expense of imports

Well, in Key West, if you gotta surf, there's always hurricane season. You might get a few killer waves out of that.

A cool thing about it is that it doesn't feel like America at all, yet you drive over the 42 bridges that connect the keys and you're back in mainland Florida.

Well, right - haven't seen the "B" after the "B18". The B18C6 is the EDM (Euro-Spec) ITR Engine. It has little bit more power than the B18C1 that's available in the states. But you have to think about that we have much better gas than you. Standart right here is around 95octane, 100+octane is available as well.
That's the reason why J-Spec and E-Spec engines mostly has a bit more power than USDM motors, because both has 100octane and are able to set the ECU, resp. the ignition the an advanced level, and sometimes more compression.
Yes, those 6kg wheels were about 1000 dollars a rim, weren't they?

You guys also measure your octane differently than we do. The reason J-spec and ROW motors are more powerful is because of much more lax emissions. In some states (especially California), the requirements are ridiculous, and there is only 91 octane gas at the pump. This causes many manufacturers to try and detune their engines for California-spec or just detune all around. Sometimes, however, the Japanese and Europeans just keep the best models to themselves (this is actually more of a Japanese thing).
