^ hardrace sells the complete set.

^^^^^^^^^^ I bought new ones from Hardrace. After ordering and receiving A energy suspension Front LCA bushing kit I realized it was easier and cheaper to buy the Hardrace LCA's. The quotes I got around town to press bushings out/and in was outrageous and my press does not have die's small enough for the work and I dont have some old junk sockets laying around.

The import scene is Bliss is far from decent. Crappy civic's with trown together Ls/Vtecs are about all you get out here. Oh and your occasional Douche solidiers with EVO's, Z's, and WRX's. Its quite sad out here No local speed shop does quality work here and finding a good tuner is near impossible. Thats going to be fun when the time comes for a tune.

Doing the Valve adjustment. Excuse the tape on the feeler gauge I use it so I dont mess up and get confused.

This is my Skunk2 pro series black edition intake manifold. One problem though Its a 71mm or 72mm opening on the throttle body flange and I have a 74mm Skunk2 throttle body.

[IMG][/IMG]

Starting to fix the size difference issue

[IMG][/IMG]

Almost done!!!!!

[IMG][/IMG]

Done and smoothed out almost somewhat of a polish!!!!. I did this with all elbow grease machinist files, scratch pads, and sand paper. You have to be carefull because on about 1/4 of the opening about two inches back there is sloped turn off that is part of the design of this manifold do not remove it.
