    JDMCG3's N/A H22 Build (Last Update: 03/12/2012)

    Re: JDMCG3's N/A H22 Build (Last Update: 01/23/2012) Cheapest I see them is ~$280. Whatever you found for $150 +shipping likely wasn't all three mounts...

    New idea for gauge pods ?? Need some opinions

    Without putting too much thought into this, my first question is whether you'll be able to open this 'door' without having an unsightly gap at the top to allow it clearance to swing. Know what I'm sayin?

    Re: JDMCG3's N/A H22 Build (Last Update: 01/23/2012) More research and less unguided spending would serve you well. I'm guilty of wasteful spending myself from time to time. In this game, you either need a lot of money, or a lot of patience and perseverance.

    Re: JDMCG3's N/A H22 Build (Last Update: 01/23/2012) Why bother... replace it.

    AFAccord's First 3.2ch Listening Room/Home Theater

    Yeah, I haven't seen BF3 on PS3 in person, but I've tried a couple other games (COD:MW and Just Cause 2) on both platforms on my TV, and the PC version beats the living crap out of the PS3 graphics. That's why I opted for BF3 on PC and got the HDMI setup I have now. :thumbsup: Plus, my Mac's...

    AFAccord's First 3.2ch Listening Room/Home Theater

    Thanks bro. I only use the PS3 for BluRay and Netflix with the occasional GT5. I play BF3 on the theater setup through my Mac via an HDMI cable and wireless keyboard/mouse.

    AFAccord's First 3.2ch Listening Room/Home Theater

    Small update... Finally replaced my corner table (TV tray) with a new table and lamp, and hooked up my surround channels, so now it's a true 5.2 surround sound. Battlefield 3 just took on a whole new level. :) Pics to come!

    H23a DOHC vtec swap?

    I bought an '01 Prelude a few months back for my lady as her first car. It's an auto, since all attempts to teach her to drive a manual in three different cars failed horribly. Personally, I very much dislike it just because of the transmission. The H22 sounds very nice (even being bone...

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    The dampeners are used to reduce harmonic resonances (the ones we don't feel) that can tear the engine to pieces. They don't cancel the (second order vibrations I believe) vibrations we feel in the car. Plus, they come without the pulley for PS, which I want to retain. I don't know either...

    Hey, since you're here, can you give me a ball park figure what your shop would charge for a better turbo manifold? I went to see Anthony at AV Engineering in Charleston the other day, and he had quoted me 'starting around $1400' for something similar to Ray's top mount manifold that AV did a...

    Geez... not sure what I was thinking there. Yes, it replaces the tensioner pulley. :P

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    I went ahead and ordered a KS balance shaft delete kit with the optional spacer to delete the front pulley. My tuner believes balance shafts are fine on a stock motor, but just another part to break on a modified engine. My primary concerns were harmonic issues and cabin vibrations, which...

    Factory Service Manual

    To the OP, I should have a second FSM floating around here somewhere that you can have if I can find it. I haven't seen it since moving into my current house though. You're in Lexington, so we could just meet in Cola.

    I own the Helm's FSM, but I downloaded this one last week so I can keep all 1600+ pages of it on my iPad. It's legit.

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    I don't think you would have room to fit a sheet metal plenum onto the F18 runners because of the way they're so long and facing forward. What I had recommended with the F23 runners is to grind away everything except the four runners themselves, and basically fit a tapered box down on top of...

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    Thanks! I'd say once I had everything taped up and tools ready to go, it only took 45min to an hour to soak, scrub, spray, then repeat a second time. I think that's a very interesting find! I actually had the privilege today to speak with my tuner and the owner of a very reputable...

    After: I used about half of a 20oz bottle of LA's Totally Awesome degreaser. This stuff is great, because the 20oz spray bottle is only $1, and the 32oz bottle is just $3! It seems to work just as good as Purple Power and its competitors. I...

    Got the Accord out of the garage today on account of the nice weather. (Partly cloudy, 72*) Started taping stuff off in the bay and scrubbing with scotch brite, steel wool and some Awesome cleaner. BEFORE PICS:

    N/A to FI: AFAccord's 10:1 Comp Turbo F23 Build Thread/Restoration

    Thank you for the kind words. Not every aspect of my life is as well kept as the work I do on my cars, but I know that if I short myself now, I will regret it later in one way or another. It makes a 'budget build' like this quite difficult at times, because I have to stop and consider "do I...
