i'll start it off I guess.
Does anyone know if there is a manual steering rack of any other honda that us members w/deleted power steering could use instead of the power rack? Or is that impossible unless custom made?

^ after doing some looking into that.. my best guess would be to try and find an accord one from the pre-power steering days. i think an 87 and below should do the trick if what i was looking at is correct. what i couldnt find is if there was ever an F/H that had non power steering.

For a CAI, what size inlet should the filter have to attach to the pipe? I need to know so I can order the K&N along with the ebay intake. Thought I asked before, but not sure.

They make them in all different sizes. Be careful, I was about to order a filter for my pipe, but decided to double check it to be sure. It was 2.5", not 3" like I assumed. If you're ordering the pipe and filter from different places, make sure it lists how big it is in the description.

the main sign is slippage, and the easiest way to test for it is to apply the brakes in 2nd or 3rd gear at around 3k rpm and floor it but push on the brakes to the point of slowing the car down and lowering the rpms, and if the rpms raise then it's slipping and on it's way out.
Another possible sign would be if it chatters alot upon taking off
Oh btw I'm on the original clutch at 155k miles and still smooth with no slippage

Is the inlet size on our throttle body 3 inches, and is there a power difference when getting a 2.5 inch intake opposed to a 3 inch? I KNOW MORE COLD AIR IS BETTER.

I believe the Tb on a 3.0 is 3" I have a 2.75" CAI tube on mine with a 2.75" filter and bypass valve, 2.75 is pretty standard for our engine

OK Sounds good, so if I order a AEM v2 for our car, it is recommended to say f--- it to the aem filter that comes with it and just by a K/N 2.75 in Cone to prevent hissing. I'm having that go on right now and cleaning it didn't help. Sounds like a mini turbo lol...+15 HP

AEM V2 is a waste, just get an ebay intake and put a k&n filter on it

Yes, you need a filter that has a 6" opening. If you want a K&N filter, BPi offers the velocity stack and filter together. Personally, I was looking into dryflow filters. I'm sick of this oiling shit.

Yes, but it will be quite a bit smaller in overall diameter and will look dumb without a substantial drop, and even then I'm not sure it will look good.
And that tire would fit a 16x8 or 16x7 wheel, and it would even fit the stock 16x6 but it's a bit of a stretch, I've put 225 series on 16x6 before though and ran them for thousands of miles with no problems. In fact, I think someone on here is running 225/50/16s I believe on stockies, can't remember who though.
A good size for calculating tire diameters between different sizes is:

I found these HIDs online for 36.99 http://www.vvme.com/product/detail-20023.html
since theyre so inexpensive do you think i'll have many problems with them? or should i just get a more expensive set?

I def like my d2's so far, still need to adjust the shocks but I dig em
meh, you get what you pay for, I think you'd be better off with the guy in the gb thread for $60 at least he has a warranty
