Re: WhiteSlipsWithStickers Refresh Build 2013
That and I don't like rocks and debris bouncing off the road and pelting my header and block. I've always been nervous that a big rock or something is going to go through the front of my block. At least this would slow the rock down haha. It looks nicer when you look through the bumper too.

Installed the Russell stainless brake lines last night, cleaned up and repainted the calipers that were chipped and will be replacing the rear pads, rotors, and one rear caliper that was dragging. I re-installed the bumper and corner lights and lined everything up again too. I want this thing ready to roll the minute the engine is in.

Yeah, I got mine from lightning motorsports for like $80 shipped. I've been running 24 year old civic lines on the front using skateboard bushings to space the little bracket out that attaches the line to the integra knuckle. Super ghetto looking and has always made me nervous, so this was a nice upgrade. These lines looks super well made and fit perfectly too.

Did you go with silver? Any closer pics? i need to redo my calipers on my EM1, just not sure what color to go with. Id like to go as close to factory if possible, just gotta find the right color.

Better SLR pictures from this weekend. Got the brakes bled, bumper on for the final time, cleaned up all the suspension that was super dusty from sitting, exhaust goes to the metal fab guy to get the hangers shortened and the new tip welded on this week and the new engine should be here by the end of the month. Ended up ordering a B16B CTR longblock from H-Motors. Steve is the man and everything you hear about his awesome customer service is 100% accurate. He took great care of me and I can't wait to see how clean this engine is.

Getting antsy now and trying to go over everything I need to get done before the engine gets here. Having an issue with one thing. I've replaced my rear caliper, slide pins, dust boots and pads on the drivers side and it will not make contact with the rotor no matter what I do, even with the ebrake. I have a feeling it's the Craigslist 4040 valve which really bums me out, because I just perfectly bled the brakes. Yeah, have some bolts and washers holding mine on.

I bought a cheap Yonaka catback mostly for the piping, but I actually really like the muffler design other than the tip. I dropped everything off today to have the giant tip cut off and this nice stainless 2.5" tip shortened a tad then welded in it's place. He's also going to shorten the hangers a bit to tuck the smaller tip up closer to the bumper. Should look nice when it's done. I've got a Spoon N1 axle back that I need to get fixed up a bit so it will bolt on and can switch them back and forth if I get bored.

Yes, just the tip. That's obviously not all you were doing based on your latest announcement though....
Thanks man! If you have any questions on anything shoot me a PM.

Re: WhiteSlipsWithStickers Refresh Build 2013
Great build.
Questions:
1) Curious what you put down power wise. 170-180 whp?
2) I may have missed this in the thread, but are you running Hondata s300?
3) How is the Personal steering wheel holding up?

1) I don't have the B16B in the car yet, but the stock LS made 129WHP 118WTQ. I'd hope the B16B with the nice header, test pipe and 2.5" exhaust will make 170ish.
2) No S300, just going to run the stock CTR ECU for now. I'll probably do S300 eventually. I ran a chipped P75 with the LS from Phearable.
3) It's great, but honestly I haven't driven the car much since I put it in there due to the engine failure a year and a half ago.

Re: WhiteSlipsWithStickers Refresh Build 2013
The engine was supposed to be here this week, but looks like I won't have it until late next week which was a huge bummer. I did get the muffler back with the giant tip cut off and the new 2.5" stainless pipe welded in it's place. I think it looks a lot like a factory ex/si muffler, but we added a little something to it by angling the tip slightly up and out so it didn't look like a random pipe sticking straight out.
I got it tucked right up to the bumper and I love this look. Super clean and OEM looking with a burnt tip to give it a little character.

Off topic: On Phearable, was your experience good with them?
