Why not go with the factory gun metal rims that came on some of them and throwing on gun metal striping to match the rims?
Gun Metal and Maroon go really well together imo.
Black and red has been done to death already.
One of the reasons I went with anthracite colored rims with powdercoated black center caps (they were originally aluminum finish) on my HHR SS.

Did you prime the oil pump before starting the car, was the oil pump working?
Did you have oil pressure before the engine fubar'd? If your not sure, that would be my #1cause of why you had bearing failure.
You wanting to rebuild the motor for performance or get back to factory specs?

Dynoing Fri. 10am
So how many do we have that will dyno if we have a meet?
Regular Rates:
$60 Baseline 3 Pulls.
$80 Baseline 3 Pulls. Wideband Air/Fuel Included
The last dyno meet he had in October he only charged:
$40 for 3 baseline pulls per vehicle and an additional $10 for wideband/air fuel meter.
It might be dependent on how many cars are dynoing?
But at any rate I believe that he is the cheapest dyno in North Alabama at his regular rates.
I will ask how much he would charge if we have a meet when I go Fri.

I have a J&S ultra safeguard for a honda distributor vehicle with the o2 sensor and gauge. It has adjustable boost retard and ignition retard along with knock sensor monitoring.
I was going to use it for my Van but ended up not needing it. So its for sale.
I probably should have taken it with me last Sunday to teh meet and try and sell it, totally slipped my mind.

Well I have 3 BNR tunes, the 1st one with a mild 2nd gear, 2nd one is a middle 2nd gear and the 3rd is an aggressive 2nd gear.
Thats the only difference in those 3 is the 2nd gear, so I will probably do the most aggressive one.
I'm not going to try the KO4 tune on the GT2871.
