Thanks guys!

I finished up the the install and got it running this weekend.

Ended up with decent ground clearance with the 3inch downpipe and the cars ride height.




Final trim on the bumper

Got my Depo Racing boost and oil pressure 2 in 1 gauge installed.





Also got the car aligned after raising it up a little.

Finished the car up and hit the dyno! Before the trip i installed an AEM Wideband o2 sensor, and then headed out to Evans Tuning in Pennsylvania. Jeff informed my that my peakboost manifold with my 7psi spring was creeping to 11psi at 8k. So we ended up tweaking the boost control to take advantage of the 11psi the car was going to make. The end result was a respectable 380hp 240tq on the dynapack. The car pulls hard and is a riot to make pulls in. The type-r trans makes it that much more interesting of a power band. Ive been chasing down some minor gremlins (bad sealing radiator cap and dying alternator, so i haven't done much post tune. But that should change soon with the new alternator arriving this week so stay tuned!

Superb work. Absolutely love the simple, clean look.

My only suggestion, and maybe it's already been said, would be to paint the molding back to black.

Thanks, clean and simple is always the theme for me. I love the color match CRX SE trim look to much to go back oem color scheme.

Update:

After my tune i ran into some cooling issues with my cooling system pressurizing. Turns out 375-400hp with the stock head bolts and 20 year old head gasket was not a good combination. It seemed the head had lifted and compromised the head gasket. So i threw in some ARP head studs and a new oem head gasket and now all is well.






Went to a show/race/drift event this past weekend at Pocono International Raceway and snapped a few pics.

Went to a local show yesterday at Orange County Choppers in NY. Plenty of cool cars and great people. Here are a few of my favorites.
