A little while back I bought a carbon fibre ITR-style shiftknob, wich is mounted on my customized OE shifter.
I like the thing a lot, it's real good quality for a cheap part like this
It's not just crap they make in China
It looks like this right now;
Overall pic;
And at work me and my boss got busy on two mods;
Can't see it huh?
It's a thin piece of sheet metal wich I had cut and bend to specs by a local machine shop, let's hope it helps in increasing mileage a bit
Another thing done was some work to make the OBX 4-2-1 header fit; the flange on the collector was angled wrong, so my decat wouldn't fit any way, -1 for OBX
Also, the collector was about 2,5cm (an inch) short, another -1 for OBX.
So I cut the collector in half, and my boss welded it together again and lengthened it using a piece of pipe.
So now I've got a full stainless exhaust system again
What I noticed when I installed the stainless 4-2-1 on my D15, I noticed the exact same thing with the B16; it was less loud!! yeeeeh
Some more updates;
- got some amber bulbs for my gauge cluster, (unused) ash tray and heater unit panel,
- bought a set of as good as new stock headlights, it's in the mail,
- as good as bought; a set of stock front/rear coupe-red bumpers,
- I've got an option on a Civic coupe EX glass moonroof (not available in Europe)
- bought an OBX t/b spacer, in the mail
And now I'm going to wash my car
