The side markers are LED as well as the tail lights. The more LED lights the less draw on the electrical system and they do look better and brighter. So all you haters need to come up with a better side marker. If you find one let me know.

 

 

Love the car. As for sidemarkers, the 280zx are alot slimmer, I believe the hyndaui accent's sidemarkers also are the same width and bolt pattern. (strait bolt in practically)

Think about it. RB20 or 25 or 26..... The 20 makes the most sense for a daily driver. Its a 2 litre engine producing 210 HP in stock form. The car only weighs just over 2K pounds. With a few little changes like lightened flywheel and a race style air intake plenum or even just upping the boost a few pounds you get more hp per $ than you ever expected. I'll dyno the car soon and let ya'll know what the rwhp is.

The 2 litre should be great on gas. If it was a track car I might have considered the bigger RB25 or 26.

Also the installation of a RB20 is less work than the others. Even the stock driveshaft is a direct fit.

Anyhow, If I decide I need more power I can get 400hp out of a RB20 but that isnt what I set out for.

Oh yes it sounds great. Nothing sounds like a turbo 6 cylinder. That is why I didnt use a SR20. These cars deserve the 6 cylinder.
