Looks like the RM-01A, same exhaust I have on my R. It really doesn't stick out as far as it appears in the photo.

Does not appear to be the RM01-A, the tip is way too long. Might be the power getter.

^Agree. Probably what it is.

Doesnt look like my RM-01A

Yes it's the power getter. Sits flush if viewed from the top of the bumper but since the bumper angles downward it makes it look too long.

This is even with the jdm header and cat. If I used the used header and cat it would stick out a foot.

1223, your R is looking on point especially with the throwback CA plates!

plot twist, amit87 is the grandma pictured pulling out from the parking spot

I would venture to say no.. There appears to be a cross walk in front of her and an occupant in one of the other vehicles. Additionally, you can see the continuation of single dotted lines separating the lanes of travel.

The sign in the back ground shows that there is a restaurant "grill" and the lack of a stop bar painted on the ground shows you that it is not a stop light or sign. To me this tells me that it is a crosswalk crossing a low to medium sized highway where there is likely a sign that forces all cars to yield or stop for pedestrians. This would make since as the driver on the one side was stopped long enough to take a picture while the other side is starting to pull away indicating that a pedestrian was crossing the street towards the photographer.

Yes, but still grandma.

I appreciate how thorough this analysis is.

15 year anniversary is coming up soon, sitting at 97K miles. Hasn't been getting much love at all the last 2 years, need to drive it more.

Yesterday I was cleaning up the engine bay and putting the stock intake back in (no pics yet, not done) and when lightly scrubbing on the valve cover with a rag, a little red paint came off and now I have a small quarter-sized rough spot. That was painful. Looking through this thread, I see that it's not that uncommon though. Anyone know of an easy way to touch it up, so to speak, without redoing the entire valve cover? I can't imagine a way of doing that without making it look like ****, though.

Only way I can think of is spot paint, but it defiantly won't look the same. Those OEM fog lights look clean tho.

Hah thanks.. its habit now.

Given that a brand new ITR valve cover is slightly less than $200 I'd buy a new one then sell off your paint chipped one to offset the cost. You'd be out maybe $120 in all and now have a brand spanking new cover

amit87

Where did you get a new valve cover for $200?

dave7

Here's one for $250. Could probably search some more to find cheaper. JDM Civic EK9 CTR Type R Integra DC2 ITR Type R Red Valve Cover

Hmotors Sells new valve covers as well

Almost every Acura dealership sells them for around $200 still.
