1999 TL-P Mods! Cheap!
Car got totalled, selling my mods, all about 4-7 months old and in great condition!
Mod edit 11Jun09: New prices for remaining items posted in Post #69 and copied here for clarity.
1) Weapon-R Air Inake - $45 + shipping
2) P2R Spacer - $70 (chrome, 4 months old) + shipping.
3) NeuSpeed Strut Bar (silver/chrome) - $55 + shipping.
4) Eibach Sway Bar (only Rear, the one that matters!) - $60 + shipping.
I think these prices are still very fair. I paid more than double for all these items a few months back, and the car was lying unused for three months due to transmission problems. Thanks.
Thanks!

the UR racing pulley I believe is made of really light material and replaces the heavy stock one. it's also called an underdrive pulley, but not sure about diameter. Will have it out car Tuesday and we can talk then.
About the sways, I really don't know if I'll be going under the car. I don't think so...

Sorry to the others, but it looks like hANDYcaptd has first dibs on the pulley. Will let the rest of you know if things don't go through next week.
Thanks for the interest!

About the Weapon R Air Intake, people have been asking, so let me share some info:
THIS WAS THE COOLEST MOD I PUT IN!!
It's a short ram, but a longer one that can be angled to aim toward the front of the engine bay, out of the heat pocket. This is the most bang for the buck I got from mods, It's really cheap and gives an immediate payback. Unlike full cai, it's not too low under the engine and the danger of water is a lot less. One should remove the FRONT intake resonator box to obtain a huge pocket of cold air from under the engine bay for the weapon r intake to scoop in. Additionally, i cut the fog-light plastic covers away from the front bumper (as i didn't have fog lights, they weren't needed) and had a piece of mesh put in. This allowed air to flow in straight to the air intake from down below.
For an extra $15, I will provide a piece that extends the reach of the weapon r to sit even lower, perfectly in that cold air pocket. i got this separately. this is the best air intake i have seen, without the worries involved with CAI.
Beware, your engine will growl when v-tech engages, but you will feel a nice extra thrust, i would say for a tl-p between 7-10 hp. It would also help if you seafoam your ports (egr too), so that after increasing your car's capacity to breathe in, you allow it t breathe out efficiently as well. This whole process was fun, cheap, and made my car drive like a monsterrrr!!!

I don't think I will be getting the sway bars or headers out. If someone local wants to get at them, that will be fine by me.

Let me know the condition once you take it out, and if it's fine I'll paypal you asap!
Also could you post some pics once everything is taken out also? Possibly interested in the intake and spacer as well!

You're first in line for the bar, mrchan625 contacted me 8 hours after you posted. Pics will be available Thursday or Friday...
Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe mrchan625 has second dibs on the neuspeed strut bar.

Hi, this is my first post on this forum although I lurk here from time to time. I have an 01 accord and am really interested in the rear eibach sway bar. It is red and 23mm correct?
i'm from PA so I would need shipping to 18925. I have a lot of positive trader ratings on .net under the same username.
Since I can't recieve pm's yet, you can also reach me at artistotle@gmail.com to discuss further details.
Hope you are interested in selling to me. Sorry about your loss, glad you made it through the accident in one piece.

OKAY!! Finally managed to get everything out today! Sorry it took soo long, the insurance company somehow towed it from my body shop to their pound before I actually authorised my bodyshop to release it. Pics coming tomorrow!!
Everthing looks good except for the pulley. It's damaged, but the mechaic says it still works. I will sell it for $20 if someone thinks the pics look acceptable.
Everything should move quickly in the next few days. I will be PMing everyone soon! Thanks for the patience.
