Idk how big/built you are, I fit kinda snug in them, but moreso in the shoulder than the bottom. I'd have to drive it I guess.

After some thought and argument back and forth with my self, I decided last night that I'm going to paint the teg R-81 instead of NH-0. I'm still going with a Spoon theme, but you never see a Milano red R, even if it's just a clone. When the time comes, it's going to receive a K20A so it'll really perform. The GSR is kind of beat for only having 146k miles on it, and I can buy everything at work for roughly the same price as a B18C.

Actually just had this discussion with my buddy. We were talking about how I liked the NB2 tall miata seats over his s2k seats (He has s2k seats in his Miata). One of the issues for me came down to how my shoulders sat on the bolstering instead of "in" them, if that makes sense, and they didn't really hug my waist like the Miatas did. Ultimately, the leather was really slick/hard on his seats which is what I think my main complaint would be.

These seats are nice and soft, he conditions the **** out of them. I think I'll just have to drive his car and see how they do

I never liked s2000 seats either. I did really like the 2001 NB2 seats I swapped into my NA though.

Should be cool to see a milano pink type-r. I know they sold them just really rare?

I think it was a Japan-only Type R color. All I know is that after shooting one of my JDM fenders, it had me feeling some kind of way

Before getting mine painted yellow I considered CW, that silver they come in and red but stuck to what I wanted. I think red would be cool there are 1000000x CW ITR copies out there.

That was my thought process as well. As much as I love CW, you rarely see a red JDM front Integra. And with a K20A in it, I feel more than justified having Type R decals on it lol.

New "Spoon" valve cover. Version 1, of course lol.

I priced one from go-tuning for like 5 or 6 hundred dollars. I have like $113 dollars in the price of the VC, paint stripper, and paint.

Do they cast their own or do they use paint that cost $500 a quart?

GreatWave

They're factory valve covers that they paint. I think it's probably powdercoat, but whatever it is, they're only charging you for the name. I used duplicolor Daytona yellow, and it's just a bit off, but hardly noticeable.

Thanks man! I've definitely turned things around a few times, but who ever builds a car the way they want it the first time? Fortunately I have the job I'm at now, and it's helping me to realize the end goal for the car. It's gonna be pricey, but well worth it.

what project ends up not being pricey though? lol budgets get set, and then quickly get broken.

Right?... Just a long block though, not full swap. I'll install an LSD in the GSR trans down the road. From what I read online, the difference in gear ratio isn't really going to be too noticeable.

Making big moves and I'm over here worrying about another potential vacuum leak issue...lol

She's pretty supportive of what I'm doing, I don't think it'll be an issue
