you still had plenty of weaving room though (just gotta be able to squeeze in), so you could had hit VTEC alot more often


BTW we need some pics of this Polish Girl

Me too, but right around 6k you can see where it falls on its face. I cant wait to tune it.

I wish the graph showed what the peak torque number was too. Looks to be around 275 though.

even mine does the same thing on the dyno, looks to fall flat at 6k, but on the street that where it seems to pull the most though

I am actually surprised by the 20+ WTQ gain, I expected the 20+ WHP gain, but figured you would eaither stay the same or even lose a couple TQ.

The first one is the rear and has to belike that to clear the rear mount casting and maintain the same leg legnth as the front. Yes the front mount is a 3rd gen but has the same clearence requrements as the 2nd gen front mount

that is the rear

but with those sharp courners though... (where the welds are mid-pipe, look likes they get to the weld and the pipe just turns, and not a nice smooth bend)
as far as having bends there, not much you can do about it when you gotta go around other things


btw: on that front mount, is it the same "bolt" pattern as on the 2g, where it bolts to the crossmember...

I know they look sever but they are made using bends not just cutting strights and welding them up so it does not affect flow.

As far as the front mount bolt patteren, they are the same on the block/tranny and really close on the cross member, a little work with a file and it bolts up.

as said they still look very severe


and as far as the bolt pattern , another question how about the height of the mount as an assembly..., could i stick a 3g mount on a 2g, with only the filing of the holes?

You need both the mount and the casting that bolts to the engine/trans

i have no worries about that, just that they would not need to be modified a whole lot if i wanted to fit one...

I just want to know if my wheels fit. I think they should fit. Hows the plasti dip paint it will peel of with powwer wash or what ? I think it could peel of it self and then looks ugly.

Plastidip will give a finish like the rubber handle cover of a pair of pliers.

Nice updates. Those pedals look so sick. If you painted those you did a great job. I'm guessing you did because you like to be different and everyone has the metal or silver pedals. Never seen em for sale like that. The TL wheels look good, I like the silver look on black. Yeah they are a close fit... Did you have to shave the end of the bolts down on your bracket so they would clear? Had too with mine.

Anodized aluminum.

You know what they say, once you go black, you dont go back.

I just dont like really shiny things.

Yea, I had to trim down the studs so theyd clear the CR-Kais. I put everything together then cut the studs down with about 2-3 threads still showing and they clear fine.
