How'd you do your valve cover, just stripped it and then hit it with mothers polish or something?
honestly i dont like those rims at all... i liked it the best with the gold ones in your sig.
sucks with the window, instead of people breaking mine they try and pry on it with a screwdriver so i have to get the tracks straightened back out or some s**t. right now my window is bent forward like 3/4". i even had someone try to pry out my windshield wtf

i like the drop, whats it dropped on?
just polished it with a buffer wheel on a drill and some polish compound. Finishing touches were by hand. 
thx guys....it's rolling on gc's with tokico struts.
the gold rotas were bling...their only appeal was in their size, color, and racing hart's design.
.they were heavy as fawk and rubbed like a mofo. they were too big for the car.
they increased my stopping distance, wore my brakes faster, decreased my acceleration, and decreased the fuel efficiency.
the mugens' appeal is not only in their looks.
they are lighter than stock, don't rub, increase the braking effecience, fuel economy, and acceleration.
to me, that makes them a better wheel choice and demonstates that I value something more than just bling.

thats cool... i didnt really need a 2 paragraph response. just sayin i liked the rotas better and i think theres better lookin wheels that are just as functional as a set of mugen rims. to mee the spokes just look really thin and small on your car, maybe cause its so low. but its whatever you like 
Much love for your coupe. Nice work.
That sucks about the front lip...I hit a deer carcus driving about 70mph down the interstate...I have no idea how the hell I drove over it but I did... dominated the s**t out of my Mugen lip.

What is up with your exhaust manifold cover?
JiuJitsu_greg said:
I dunno, greddy makes it to reduce heat into the bay from the cast iron manifold and turbo.
thats the greddy kit you said? the $2k one? how well did it work with the install and now etc..? Easy to tune? any other important things that you had to add to really make it work well? sorry for the questions but from what I saw on the clubhonda forums u said ur putting down 178 hp or something and thats about what I'd like to get when I start piecing together a kit. lmk I'd def appreciate the input
I bought my greddy kit used, so it was more like $1400 or so with the emanage and FMIC. I bought a boost gauge, a BOV, wlabro fuel pump, and a wideband o2. Install not too bad. the hardest part was getting the T-fitting on the oil sending unit to tap forr the oil feed. there's not much room to work with. I bought the ingition and injector harnesses separatley, since they do not come with the kit. I also called greddy and had them email me a tunable emanage program that I forwarded to my tuner. He tuned it on a dyno and it runs great. I wouldn't have a clue how to street tune it, so, having a tuner available is invaluable.RHennin said:
30mpg in the city and 34 hiway!
Not to mention those cast manifolds rust fast and look like crap... i wish i had that cover for my old greddy kit!! Bay looks clean dude!!brookliner7 said:
I also found it interesting how the mugens say "squeeze process" on the side. Ive never noticed that before.. If always laughed at those awkward literal translations from Japanese to English.. Maybe just writing "forged" isnt cool enought.
