nice set of ground controls on koni yellows

:thumbsup:

[dj_honda]

nice work man! if you go suspension i say koni yellow or kyb agx with gc's. koni yellows were too baller for me so i went with the agx. :D

[Mr_ET]

dj do you find that the ride is still livable?

i want 15's :(

17's are nice but a little big for this car and don't ride that great even on the stock suspension

[Mr_ET]

nice turbo!

[Mr_ET]

thx guys you're right legendboy but they do good work for the money.

After the turbo setup comes the suspension and rear disk swap!

btw the b16a1 swap became the turbo project :P

[legendboy]

yes they always do a good job

[Mr_ET]

picked up my stage 1 exedy clutch today thx to Jonathan at honda west (EF_Honda)

[Mr_ET]

well looks like this is not the end of my misery with this manifold. tried to bolt the turbo to manifold and one of the runners is hitting the cold side of the turbo. the t3 flange on the manifold would need to stick out of it about an inch more for me not to have clearance issues.

Legendboy you can bash away I know i should have bought one from you but im too poor for your good services :(

So guys what should i do. I am not sending this back to wait another 3 more months and pay more shipping. Should i buy a t3 flange and use that as a spacer? if i get that and another gasket would i be ok?

should i just have a machien shop or Corey weld on a spacer to the existing flange on the mani?

guys do not buy from CC fab worst buying experience EVER. I no i didnt know he was hotrex on HMT at the time of order :(

[Mr_ET]

clocked the turbo gave me just a little bit of clearance and it works now so don't bother replying for that problem it's fized now on to the intercooler!

[Gravy_83]

looks nice man good job

[Palmiros]

Nice job. Clean.
