Nice writeup man! Coming along fast. How about moving it to its own thread in Gen Discussion so its more searchable in the future? :shurg:

Will there be more heat issues with the P30 pistons since they lack that low friction coating? In that comparo pic.... looks like the MR Integra in the background is a convertible :lol:

Thanks guys.

Rob, I'll have pics for you tomorrow when I go back to the shop.

Joe. Yeah, pretty fast she is coming along. Now if I could just get the head and ROM back for the S200 I'd be ok. :P

Northern cars SUCK!!! The rear bumper support is being replaced, I sand blasted about every bracket under the hood and repainted it all.

As for the P30 vs ITR pistons, no you shouldn't notice much heat difference at all. That coating actually wears off really quickly. The short block with the CTR pistons that only had 9k on it, half of that stuff was already missing. ;)

Not even close. Canons at that ISO or higher are clean and sharp. Nikon at high ISO = garbage :P

yeah, you really can't go wrong with either. You just have to talk crap about whichever brand you didn't choose.
