he dont mean the actual lense's.

jdm lights light up both parts of the lense (ie - the bit on the car and the bit on the boot)

uk and eu lights only light up on the bit on the car, not the boot.

hope im making sense. lol

im sure some one eles can explain abit better :thumb:

#17514 These lights are sold as JDM here.
I know it's not, that's why I put it between quotation marks ;)
It's more of a German thing I guess, you see a lot of VW Golfs and BMW's 3-series with red/white taillights.
But who cares, I love them :thumb:

And about that D-series;
Still can't decide what to do first; boost, or B-series.
Both will be there, no doubt about that, only takes some time to get there :thumbdown:

#17657 i would say go for the B. I'm going to do that too.

if you go for turbo or B it will cost the same amount of money. and you'll end up with the same amount of horsepower....

You can always boost the B :D

#17733 you can get alot of power outa a boosted d. and they are def way faster then a stock b swap. my buddy has beat many b swapped cars with his boosted single

#17763 True.
That's why I want both.
I had so many bad experiences with D-series, I want to get rid of that crap asap.
Since I cannot afford to blow my D-series engine under boost, I guess I go for a B16 first.
Then save up for a turbokit, I have some contacts who can provide me with a good custom setup for a decent amount of money, so it shouldn't take long before I have both ;)

B16 isn't that expensive, thought you was going for a B18 :D

#17885 I was, but several people who know their 'thing or two' about turboed B-series adviced me to take a B16A2, and turbo it.
Way cheaper, and produces about the same amount of hp.
