    Should i get a header

    yep, don't spend money on a header if you're going turbo or swapping. if your motor has high mileage, pull it out, get some stronger rods (i would never turbo a d16 on those pencil thin rods), get some forged pistons if you feel like it, new rings, new rod / main bearings, arp rod bolts and...

    Oil/Filters

    yes, i am. B) all honda's 87 and up, are now using the newer smaller filters, with the exceptions of the s2000, and the insight. the s2000 is now the only honda that still uses the bigger filter, and the insight use an even smaller one. if you go to honda dealer to pick up an oil filter for...

    oil leak

    does it look like this? most likely a distributor o ring. this thing: costs like $1.50 replace that, then if it's still leaking, it's gotta be the cam seals.

    H&R Cup Kit VS TEIN BASIC

    sorry if i got a little heated there, i just don't appreciate childish name calling too much. i'm also a little biased, and i have personal beef with tein. :beer: you do know that the h&r cup kit is koni yellow struts that are painted gray and labeled as h&r, with h&r race springs. right...

    H&R Cup Kit VS TEIN BASIC

    first to the thread starter, who thinks i'm a numb nut, what are you doing with this car? i feel you should consider this information a little bit before purchasing. if you're just driving around on the streets, and have no intention of competing, the basics will be fine. but you did say 'all...

    wat cams are good

    man i hope you're not some 16 year old kid. 230 to 330 hp? and 11s or 10s? hrm... that's a broad range, and a very lofty goal. maybe set a more specific, realistic goal. 9 2 1 c/r? i'm guessing that means 9:1? it's rather difficult to help someone who has difficulty displaying their...

    what's the diff between a vtec and vtec E motor?

    i think the E acutally stands for efficiency. i don't really know / care though. the vtec-e only came in the 96-00 civic hx 2dr (maybe some 7th gens too but who cares) but the hx is actually an interesting bird. this engine intrigued me a little bit a while ago. first a little break down...

    Need pistons for buildup

    well what are your goals? is this a street car? i think you need to do a little research ... "i want the highest compression possible w/o bending valves" are you sure? i agree with the thought of not bothering with valves. unless you have a lavish goal, can pay a lot for tuning. but from...

    H&R Cup Kit VS TEIN BASIC

    a street car that's aimed at all out performance? seems like a bit of a paradox in my eyes.. anyways, tein basics suck for the money. especially if you want 'all out performace' and are getting their springs made of jello. what car are these going on? i have no experience with the h&r, i've...

    spinning on shift... won't hook up well

    well i really hope you're not powershifting. the person who said there's nothing wrong with it is obviously about due for a big surprise. i'm guessing you're letting off the throttle, shifting, and quickly stomping right back on it like everybody does. try this: let off, shift, and don't...

    Explain Heel-Toe Driving

    ever been in a modern racecar with a speedometer? and yes, you're right about old cars having the pedals inverted and that's where heel-toe came from; but, it's still a valid technique used today. a few drivers actually put their heel on the brake, and toe on the gas. crazy, but it's true...
