    Yet another RACELAND thread...

    I read all the reviews, mostly bad, but enough good that I could ride on them for a while until I get my settlement and get a set of Function & Form type 2 or Tein Streets. I was on blown the eff out OE struts and no name lowering coils, and the left front would bottom out HARD any time I hit...

    Overheated D17A2, installing JDM D17A

    2000 degree paint my ass. VHT will be getting an email from me. Other than that, the maiden voyage went smooth as silk. Gotta raise the rear up an inch or so to get rid of spring rattle, but other than that, smooth sailing :)

    Welp, I got far enough that I fired up the Civic today :) It was wide open header, which meant no O2 readings made it run like s**t, but, it ran. Still have to put on the downpipe, which needs a slight modification to work, and the passengers side axle, and the new radiator. Everything...

    Will D15 bolt ons work on D17

    The easiest way to figure that out would be to look up the intake manifold gasket and exhaust manifold gasket for both engines and see if they're the same part numbers.

    5speedEJ6, post away, I like feedback lol I agree that few people will see it, I just don't know if it'll clash with the silver/black theme I've got going. I'll leave it SS for now, and if it really bothers me I can always spray it later. I'm a bit bummed that the CAI is glossy black, but...

    Ctag, I think you're the only one following this thread lol anyway, a bunch of the stuff I ordered came in today, including the stainless down pipe. I'm contemplating scuffing it up and spraying it black, so it matches the header. Thoughts?

    FL Civics Roll Call : Potential Meet interest

    I don't have any on my phone, I'll snap one tomorrow and post it up. It's just a stock ES2 on blown OE struts and what I can only assume are eBay coils. I haven't had a chance or the finances to a dress the suspension yet, the HG blew after 6 weeks of ownership.

    Ok, for the few of you that are following this thread, I need opinions. I still need to paint the thermostat housing that bolts to the end of the head, and I was planning on just sticking with the silver theme, but what do you guys think? This is the part, for reference:

    Thanks, and it's ok. In a world overrun with K-swaps, I choose to save the single over head cam. I may be one of few, but, I'll always be me and not a follower.

    Ok, paint is done for today. Gonna let it cure really good before I pull the tape. Here's masking, primer, and color. Not clearing it yet, if at all.
