The works bell hub actually has both bolt patterns on it so you'd be okay.



....regarding the build, I'm waiting on an order from autofair honda. I was told my stuff shipped out this Saturday so it shouldn't be too long. But its nothing too big anyway

kool man, actually, im gonna try to quit getting distracted, and save for the type 1s. i always get distracted and think well i can just go cheap with this, and ill be in the same boat im in now. i think im gonna just stance my hatch and daily it, then next spring go for a turbo sohc set up, tuned for daily/reliability, and just get yota or nissan pick up for work, and on weekends ride by the hunnies and go WOOOOSH...(covering mouth) *OMG hes got TURBO!* LOLOLOL...

Thanks CHILD! Didn't want to spend money on something I didn't think I would need and I could not find any info. Super helpful you had one haha.

and for 96romacx, the F&F type ones ride great! I ride slammed daily in my 98 coupe and they ride smooth. they meet my expectations for just daily and taking sharp turn occasionally. ;) well all the way down in the front and raised some in the rear. I did not take the plastic out or roll the fenders however for now I am only on steelies and hubcaps. Make sure if you go all the way down to hammer flat the area where the fender and body meet each other inside the wheel well. You have to move the wheel well plastic out of the way to see what I am talking about because it will cut into your tires.. If you already knew that the let it be known as a "fun fact." yay!

Thanks Blake! After hearing such high recommendations there is no doubt I will just bite the bullet and end up waiting for my own set. I wonder if it's possible to keep the splash shields in the front fenders, and roll the lip, and still be able to wear a lower offset wheel like child's? Probably not...

I am actually about to put on 15x8 +0 offset this weekend so if ya wait a few days ill let ya know how it fits up staying low as possible on the coils. And if i remember CHILD is not all the way down.. nor with a camber kit, Right? :shock: I think it is crazy cause his car still looks mad low and awesome! however, if you are not planning on riding on the lowest setting possible you should fit any low offset wheel in your fenders fine with a good chance for keeping the plastic too. Especially if you plan to have a finger gap. for turning just roll the fender where the pins for the splash shield do not connect. I want to try to keep the splash guard to protect my HID balaces from water cause I tucked them in my fenders.


returning to CHILD's build. What's coming form honda ehh?

Thanks to Autofair Honda for the quick business and great pricing!





no more uber long runners for me


nothing fancy....just pics






I'll be getting some thermal gaskets later when i finally order a fuel setup


looks much better


shortened up this line form the RAA


had a noob moment and couldn't get the tube to come out of the intake manifold easily. It ended up snapping lol. I'm gonna clean it out and plug it later.

Nice man the motor is looking really good man. I also have a question kinda nooby but hey...is it hard to delete cruise control..I just got a 5 speed and I don't see a point in using it unless ur on the high way but even then it's kinda useless..is it as easy as just taking it out or wld I need to buy some kind of after market part to replace it?

Buy more parts already! I know that cash burnin a hole in your seat!
Parts are expensive. Well, the plans I have are. Nothing used, a few one offs, some new releases hike the prices up. Only spent 200 on the intake manifold though and I still need to modify it more, port match it to 70mm, and I'm debating some custom work.

thanks. :thumbs up for cruise, you can simply remove it. The module and throttle cable come right out. Its an easy delete.

Did some forever needed simple work. Threw some paint on my windshield wipers.

....and i dont like it.
I want to buy some brand new ones. I didnt think i'd like painting them...grrrr. oh well

Also got my car inspected today and passed with the header and test pipe! Gotta love Texas. I scraped the F*** out of my SiR lip getting on the stupid ramps at the inspection place....but it's whatever. Facebook and instagram peeps saw what i dealt with.

oh you can't read....here's some pics



and this thing just because....
