there's your update everyone..
You shoulda done like my boy w/a K24 em1 and had him personally come and do the engine bay. That way its guaranteed to get done. Then again, it also cost 1400 bucks lol.

apparently alot of people are unhappy with Chase these days. i would have suggested Rywire. he seems to be the man to go to these days.

So there was a mix up in Birmingham about some dumb shit with UPS (of course) but the parts are officially on the move so hopefully I can see them early next week..

Finally got ahold of a used 3.0 axle to see if it fits into the 4cyl hub and...It fits like a glove, thank god..

grabbing axles this weekend along with the 5 lug swap, I just ordered traction bars too & I just picked up some UR pullies so slowly but surely it's all comming together..

the anticipation is killing me..

i was looking at the prelude ones that kumar (starboy2nv) got, but i don't think they fit the 3.0 either cuz of the front engine mount

i need that guy to get back to me and see if his strut bar for an CB will work for us. i love the design, its a real chassis stiffening part. not like all the other strut bars out there.

what are the issues he is having? according to that thread on honda society, no one is having issues and they are identical down to the welds. but the maker of the esp bars are downtalking the ebay ones. from the way my bar looks like, it looks like a quality job for a ebay knock off.. IMO of course...

Chris (both of you) measure the distance of the chassis and let me know. worst case you can buy the same prelude bar and make your own holes for the bolts... just a thought...

I beg to differ bro, from what i've seen of their products 1st hand, they're top notch products and hold up pretty well to abuse.

I ordered the prelude one, I shouldn't have any problems since I have the 4cyl chassis + the hasport EK mounts which doesn't use a front mount so it's perfect for me..

Traction bar has arrived in niagra & the Chasebays goodies are arriving 2morrow..

Sick motor swap. I don't know why I haven't clicked on this thread before.

Now someone needs to do a 3.5 liter 6 speed.
