Yup! I'm going to go read it right now.

Studs: How much could you get the head studs for?
Flywheel: I was looking at something like 14-12 lbs, but I'd be fine with OEM too. I'm still looking
Head gasket/gaskets/seals: Definitely. Although I was looking into a thinner head gasket for a little bit higher compression. But I need to look into that further. Because if I want to boost later I'm not sure if I really want to run that. Although it's not like it'd be hard to change.
Throttle body: 68mm is a little big IMO. Although I'm running the ITR cams/valvetrain... I was shooting for like 65mm.
Clutch: I was looking into Competition Stage 1. Toying with the idea for Stage 2.

OHHHHHhhhh Alex! Talk car to me!!

And Robbie I totally didn't even see you made notes next to my list.

-Isn't a stock ITR flywheel like 16 lbs?
-I might be getting my buddy's Skunk2 intake mani. We're still figuring that out though. And 68 mm just seems like a little bit of overkill for mine..

i love my 8lb flywheel and my yonaka stage 3 clutch

Yeah I don't need anything crazy. My buddy has an Exedy Stage 2 with an ACT flywheel (I wanna say like 10ish lbs?) and that was perfect for me.

yeah stage 3 is overkill, i just wanted to have it so i dnot upgrade in the future. but yeah 10lb should be ok, i love the increase in acceleration with the 8lb but 10 wont be much different

Stock ITR is 17 lbs....with the car all motor you want a light flywheel and 11-12 lbs is good for all motor and boost too

68mm is perfect i promise ya...the skunk2 intake manifold is already ported at 65mm

Also with the 68 mm, isn't it a little funky shaped so it can potentially be tough to get an intake on it? I mean I could just get one of those flex fittings, but that's just what I heard.

no you just use i believe at 2.75" coupler

 

[CHILD]

Yup 2.75" couplers

 

[watisjdm]

A tiny update, removed the tint on the front four windows and I'm going to have a pro take the rear windshield tint off.

I used to have an old accord and I took the tint off myself by renting a steam machine. It worked great.
