I don't have a specific number because I bought a lot more than just parts for the motor. My tally came up to around $9.3k over about 6 months, but that's including the Legend brake setup, new coilovers, spare transmission, etc. It's probably closer to $4-5k for only the components for the...
This applies to '00 EX models as well, any model with side airbags. There's a work-around to this if you do a little digging in the factory service manual. I have S2000 seats in my '01 EX coupe with no SRS issues.
Exactly, my old chassis had issues, so it wasn't really worth the effort, but this new chassis barely has 100k miles on it and I want it to feel like a brand new car. The one thing I can't really get rid of is the engine vibrations.
Holy cow, 350sq feet?? In most panels, the constraint...
While I'm excited to get my new chassis up and running again, I find my attempts to quiet down the car and improve my listening experience snowballing out of control. If you've followed any of my other build threads, you know this is par for the course. Here is my story...
As I began...
I'm almost certain those weren't available when I ordered the Crowers. I do remember Bisimoto offering a custom F23 rod/piston combo for about $860 just a week or so after I spent $1200 on the Crower/Wiseco setup.
I'm happy to report that I achieved 26.8mpg on a tank recently, and that's with some dyno pulls so there's still room for improvement! Sadly, that only brings up my average for the year to 15.0mpg. :shakehead:
Re: How to reduce wheel hop
You almost did, without actually saying it. It's highlighted in the diagram you posted, and then you went into bushings. :)
Re: How to reduce wheel hop
Reducing slack in suspension components is far more effective at reducing wheel hop than engine mounts. It's the load/unload cycle with soft components that creates wheel hop, hence the reason traction bars with solid (no rubber) joints are so effective.
The most...
