I have a white 2g i'm going to see if I can dig up a pic on this computer.

Anyway my 50 trim blew from sitting over the winter right after I got the built motor running this spring and finally received the new 50 trim and should have the new setup (external 38mm tial on a JMF o2 housing) I'm pumped its the second housing that they are making for this setup.

I was going to go hx40 but since the turbo blew and I want it running the rest of the summer, i'm keeping the holset on the bench until I can re-save for the setup since this whole dilema set me back.

Anyway, going into the external atmosphere dump, I want to pick a color for the wastegate which will match the tial BOV when I buy it, as well as the valve cover and lug nuts if I can find some.

So, with it being pure white, with a clean minor tucked engine bay in the making, I was trying to decide which color would go with my car the best. So far I was 90% set on purple but now I am considering blue or red. I think it would look nice in red with a matching painted valve cover and I know I have seen lug nuts that go with the tial red on an RSX locally.

Though blue could look really good as well, and same with purple.

So, what are your thoughts? If anyone has a white car with a color scheme like that please post some pics! Oh and I would like to order this tomorrow so I can have it by the time I go pick up the o2 housing Monday.

Gold on which parts? I havn't seen tial in gold before are you refering to anything that I powder coat like the valve cover or lug nuts?

I think red in small amounts looks good in a clean white bay- Key words 'small amounts' in my opinion of course.

Yes definitly, I hate it when there is too much red. Im going for the main things like the valve and gate with valve cover and then piping like a chrome powder coat maybe. Havn't looked deep into the piping yet as I am not ready to spend the money on getting them painted at this point.

So you must hate my setup.:D It matches my Red Car.

Wow, that's a lot of red. But at least it matches your car. I say go with yellow. Come on, every Honda owner knows yellow makes you go faster.
 
My goal with my Panda 1g is to have everything in and about the car either white, red, black, or stainless, and little bits of blue obviously with the AN fittings. Purple is the shit, but I really like Tarantulas bay because he picked a theme and stayed with it, and because of that, it's very visually appealing. I think a purple bay with purple lugs would be the shit.
 
Well, everyone does blue.
Purple looks good, not everyone does it.
Red.....is red. It has to be used carefully.
Then there is black, it would look incredibly gay in a white car, though.
You could consider yellow, but yellow can be girlie.


I say brown, everything in there needs to be poop brown. Fuck everyone and their "blues" and "reds". They dont know what the fuck they are doing.

But for real I think ice blue would look sick. I think I will go that route, lol.
 
Gold or purple ftmfw. Gamble's car looks even sicker in person. It was the first purple scheme I've seen. But gold and white would be pretty dope...
