I decided to give LED lights a try, I've been noticing new semi trucks are starting to use them and they look bright.



had to match the headlights lol



Those cones in the picture are like 60 feet away, they started sort of blue



They are a nice bright white now



Getting fancy with some Cam Gear bolts



Pushing the intake to the limits.

As I was taking the springs off my Koni G/C setup, found one of the front Koni was leaking oil from the top dampening adjuster. I contemplated sending it for rebuild but i was better for me just to buy new ones. Springs came in to, but I needed those. My total for everything is still under msrp and now I have spares.



Just wanted to see the freshness


These sold fairly quickly, im going a different route


Decisions, decisions....

Sold my RMP Drag reps and bought new 1320 Performance Toda style header, I'm planning on going full size radiator and these make the most reliable gains when it comes to HP.





New Bosch EV14 550cc injectors.



Fuel Rail adapters



They fit perfectly




My GSR block is in my trunk ready to go to the shop. RaceTek

Keep an eye on the welds on that 1320. They have a very high crack rate. I'll assume they flow similar to the PLM Toda rep, so yeah, def a good header. I had the PLM version for a few years. Toda rep is def a good decision! After selling my fuel line tuck kit, I may end up with one again...lol. Finding a good spot for the Endyn breather is a chore.

Reman +98 Integra Power Steering, no mods needed. Direct bolt on.




My NGK Power Cables were FILTHY from being on the GSR. WD40 cleaned them up nice.




Had this laying around, actually looks really close to the OEM 98 Spec Faux carbon cover.



Feels good to be making progress on both cars.

Yeah, I was looking for the OEM R one, but they are hard to find. What you have is probably better anyway with the cooling fins, vice just the U pipe of the OEM. Might have to pick one up while its all apart still.

Look into the Hayden 1010, the one I have will work but its smaller than I thought

Fancy breather box plug. I just have a cheap hardware store freeze plug tapped into mine, with a little HondaBond.
