Intake Manifold Runner Control AKA. Actuator valve
Works hand in hand with the VTEC changover in the Type-S's. Partly what makes the S different than the Premium (the dual stage intake system).

I'll feel bad coming to your place for the first time and not bringing anything helpful. (Does that make me a DFW AZ virgin for not having been to Trance's place before?)

So G left yesterday for China and I got to Drive his car. WOO HOOO that car hugs the road sooo well. I really enjoyed driving it. Hopefully grayson will continue his pattern of changing cars and just maybe i will buy the S2000. But sadly he only gave me permission to drive it yesterday so into my parents garage it goes till he gets back

Hey guys I went to McDavid yesterday and spoke to Gary Nelson, one of their adjusters, and he gave me a quote of $177 to have them paint match the grill (all three pieces) and the back aluminum or whatever piece above the license plate, to match my car's color (NBP)... do you think that is a good deal, and have any of you had experience with McDavid's collision center?

thats a solid deal.
I had them do the same on my car (but I got a whole new bumper because of a minor collision.)
They do a pretty decent job of paint matching on SSM, not sure about NBP.

Thanks Mantis
I think I'll have them do it when I leave for Mexico at the end of the yr... I can't wait to see how it will look!
