even though my TB one is still good, and getting a hondata intake one, still nice to have for spare, thanks!
Damm. I have one of those Hondata ones somewhere in my room... LOL

Also, in the box there is a bracket that let's u keep the stock GSR TB cable, and hides it undernearth the manifold.
I didnt feel like reading through all 7 pages to see what ur plans are for it, lol.. So are you plannin on boosting sumtime or gonna just keep it all motor kinda setup??
Thats cool.. I was just curious to know if you had any plans for it or anything like that..
Id be happy just to have a stock b18c1 in my car.. Have alot more power then what the little d15b7 has,
If I ever swapped in the coupe Id rock a all motor b18c just because alot of other people always say to boost.. Im actually just thinkin about boostin the little 1.5 and be happy with that.. Cause my car needs alittle more power because its just not cuttin it for me..i hate that bracket....i hate all GSR throttle bodies!
Green, change the butterfly with your LS valve... that way the throttle cable goes on right...
did it yesterday as a matter of fact!.
used the one from my OBD1 DOHC ZC intake(same as LS, but smaller 55mm)
just got done...still have to finish some spots on it. a CF(maybe carbon and yellow kevlar) plug wire cover would look sexy.
couple blemishes, but i dont care, ill buy another cover and do some more, looking into a new PC system any way, the ol' harbor fright one is going bad.
not to thread jack, but i really wish i would of ordered one of those when i was putting my motor together. I like the color of that valve cover just has some dots in it.
yeah has some blemishes, but that dosent bother me none.
i used my old crappy PC gun
Yeah got sum small blemishes but I still think it looks pretty good.. A cf plug cover would make it look pretty badass..
got the AEBS manifold ready to go.
mounted it on the car, didnt want to buy a cable bracket or cable, nor did i want to buy a throttle rotor... SO, i used the GSR cable, made my own bracket, and used a D series throttle rotor, all works smoothly.
saved me a atleast $30 doing it myself

Pic of the valve cover:

D series Throttle Rotor:
head and intake on the block:
piece of steel that took me over a hour to find in my garage
:
after about 30mins of heating, cutting and grining:
Last but not least:
my Radiator and Head gasket should be here monday, still waiting on my piston rings from HeelToe
.
goign to get some gloss black powder coat to powder coat this and other brackets.
i tired several different throttle rotors, thats why you can see in some of the pics, the manifold has been grinded on(just some webbing).
thinking of powder coating it black anyway.
i also want to get another fuel rail, and throttle body some day.
