YT=YouTube...

I agree...better vids, that arent sideways lol.
Do a cluster vid, that way we can see how it is actually pulling. Fly-by vids dont tickle everyones fancy.

Seems a lil slow in that vid. Stayed in 2nd gear longer than i expected.
Dont know if the heavier chassis makes that much of a difference, but mine is a lot different tuned and in a hatch.

Glad its running and you figured out ur issues. Keep up the good work

EH/EJ hatches(vx/cx/dx) are 2-300lbs lighter than EJ coupes.(2400-2500). So yes it does make a difference. That 1.6l-1.8l makes a HUGE difference as well.

Ok so you're not impressed with a flyby then ECCTR make a couple shots including the cluster. You know two short videos edit into one. I want HD too. LOL.

Oh YouTube. Sorry, it's way to early. Lol

I drove my 1997 Toyota paseo (93 hp yes!) to the airport this morning, lost control on black ice and couldn't get it back. Did a 360 and kissed the guard rail, f***. Driving this car is snow has been a constant issue. Scuffed the bumper hard and the tail light blew out from the thump. I've got brand new studded Firestone winter force and it still gets loose as slow as 20mph. Guess that's what a 919kg car does lol.

Thanks for the comments, i agree that the flyby video sucks. I got my friend to snap it, I will make some good videos next week including a cluster shot. My 8k tach looks funny winding around lol.

The engine works a lot better than that video does justice.

Im sure it does...sounds healthy. I've seen all the b16b in car vids on youtube, so it will be nice to see another when you get one posted

When its on youtube be prepared for the noobs saying your video is fake because (im sure) your cluster is in km/h and they arent bright enough to realize that. Happened on the vids I have with a km/h cluster lol.

I didn't buy a b16 to compare it to a b18, nor do I expect it to be as light as a EH. also, this is my daily driver so it's even more than 300 lbs heavier (full interior, subwoofer) and yes the video will be HD lol iPhone 5 just need a good camera man.

When I get my header leak fixed do you guys think my exhaust note will change ? This motor seems like it's all engine noise, if that's the case I would have bought a cheaper exhaust. But here's what it sounds like. Only other Vid I have as I'm across the country



Comments and crit welcome.

It's kind of raspy. Is it the leak?

I hope so, that's what I was wondering above ^

I bought the ws2 for its daily driver, low exhaust note with no drone. It's actually almost silent on the road below 4k. I will inspect the header leak tomorrow when I get back to NS.

It's a beautiful 9 degree day in BC and I am flying home to this..

Go home spring, you're drunk

I absoluelty hate this header. It scrapes on everything. Raise my suspension right? No.
I just ordered the stock ctr downpipe for my ctr header. That should fit snugly

Must be nice to use heavy equipment tools on a little civic, makes it a breeze.
