I suppose that's the trade off here in Michigan. We have to deal with rust, but wtf is a smog inspection? lmao

Thanks guys. Yeah in Cali we don't really have inspections like some places do along with their emissions testing, you just need to get the engine certified if you do a swap.

Oh and did a Dash swap last weekend, $15 at the pick-n-pull labor day sale. Plan on turning my interior black so I'm gonna swap parts that are interchangeable between sedans and coupes and paint other stuff that I don't feel like buying or I can't get for my sedan like door panels, 4 door interior trim etc.




Dash is in great condition, that lil crease looking spot above the glove box is just light. Once I get the shifter console in black or painted I'll install the jdm audio console and I'm painting the glove box this weekend.


Also painted my airbag cuz it's cheaper, color match looks perfect to the naked eye, might not be though I'm not sure lol.


Old and new dashes

Thanks Otis, so update from last night:

So I'm not gonna say I'm the luckiest mofo ever when it comes to finding good deals but...

Skunk 2 Tuner Stage 1 Cams w/ about 2000miles


2.5" DC JDM 4-1 Header with dc 2.0" carb eo plate welded on


2.5 inch OEM Honda S2000 Catalytic converter and bpipe with magnaflow resonator (for delsol so will probably have to get it extended)


All for $650!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol the cams are worth that alone haha.

Haha thank guys I have not idea how I find these deals especially this time since I wasn't even looking, just commented on honda-tech post about skunk2's last sale and some guy pm'd me. Turns out he lives about 10min from me and we got to talking and he gave me all this s**t for hella cheap. Also has a p72 with Hondata S300 and an RSX-S muffler I might get from him pretty cheap next paycheck

That being said the 02 sensor is in my cat for the obd1 GSR so should I put it into the s2k cat or put it into the dc header once I install this stuff?

Haha I'll see what I can do :thumbs up.

And yeah the heat shield's definitely coming off when the DC header gets put on, only reason I'd use a heat shield would be cuz it would technically have been illegal in CA but since it's got a carb # and its ceramic theres no point lol.

Well figured I'd throw in an update. Nothing big, just ordered the spray gun from the above post. The devilbiss Starting line kit.


Also ordered some crower chromoly stock sized retainers to mate to the skunk2 valve springs ill eventually be getting for when i put my cams in.


Thats it for now. Oh and going to pick up a compressor tomorrow, hopefully it ll works out.
