What is synthetic leather? Is your leather from another 6GA, or was it custom?

nope not from another 6GA, its not stock, i have cloth interior, i swapped in some OEM leather seats and i want to make the inserts/center console lid leather, so i am going to do a custom job by ordering synthetic leather vinyl by the bulk and do my own wrapping and shaping (install myself).

started off with a BANG!!!! there, F20b baby, good stuff, i love how you did not fallow the bandwagon and lowered the car first, it's more of a sleeper, unless when you go around curves, with the power the f20 puts out if you are going pretty fast you will want to be lowered, i remember when i had my 93 accord with a jdm h22, i went around a long curve pretty fast and the car just kept turning and i spun out, so just be careful until you get your suspension right,

those seats looks just like the 1st gen cl seats and it's a good thing to know how to do upholstery

I like your ride! It looks clean in and out! How is the gearing on that tranny? Cause i was interested in getting that for my all motor set up!

Thanks! I definitely love my F20b, its a fantastic motor! Yeah i agree with you, i definitely need to upgrade the suspension, been planning on it but so many things are coming up i don't have the money to yet. I can definitely feel it when i corner fast, my car doesn't do it with ease like it would if it was lowered. But all in good time =) Oh the seats are actually OEM lol, i did a swap from a V6 so my 4 cyl is now heated, power and leather =) going to upholster my inserts etc though.

Thanks! the gearing i actually like, however the ratios are a lot higher than that of a stock motor for both 4 cyl (F23A) and V6. When i go 100km/hr is steady at around 3k rpm so 60mph = 3k rpm. In that sense its a bit harsh on gas when i comes to highway driving, but definitely is the least of my worries i really like the set up.

Wow those ratios are crazy high. You must always be in vtec at 75mph

Haha no thankfully, the 5th gear is a very long one, so even when i hit 100km/hr(60mph) its 3k rpm, then after that at 120km/hr(75mph) its about 3.5k rpm. I have to go up to maybe 160km/hr before VTEC on 5th.
