Yo, finally fixed my lip. Took a rubber mallet and some zip ties. Now I like it better since it sits better. Anyone in here want to buy some polish si? Thinking about switching to some other rims.

Now get black leather panel inserts to match those seats! Nice, they're in amazing condition.

stock ek seats are the worst

psssh. whatever eddie.
how's d boa?

RA100923

Thanks for the compliments fellas. I spent a couple hours just shampooing and conditioning the leather before installing them. Used both rails from my stock seats to get the perfect fit.

And yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking - wrapping the door inserts in black leather (or vinyl) with some gray stitching to match my seats, shift boot, and arm rest.

The stock Civic seats are horrible. Always had back pain after driving in those for too long.

Which Integra rears will fit our sedans the best?

Won't DB8 rears fit?

im selling my type R rears. In need of cash at the moment..holla!!

teggsr925

yea thats what they say. im gonna find out soon haha. i got db8 gray leathers. the only thing is they backs wont latch so you need to move it or rewrap your stock backs and use them. im not sure what route im going yet

RA100923

The latches not working is important...these seats folding down is so handy. Keep us updated

teggsr925

yea i know. the guy i got them from had an ek 4dr and he said just cut the latches off and throw em in, yea ok buddy lol

RA100923

Lol! One thing I pride myself on is attention to detail and keeping things OEM-spec. I make sure all nuts/bolts/screws are accounted for and that everything looks like it came from the factory.

Maybe it's easier to just wrap our rear seats in a matching leather, rather than doing a swap?

teggsr925

they say to unwrap the teg seats, and transfer them to the stock backs of our seats. theres a diy floating around somewhere

teggsr925

on another note im planning to overhaul the suspension. i already have the energy suspension poly bushing kit. going to start on the front first hopefully next weekend, need to get new uca's, tie rods, lbj's before i start on the front. car is lowered on tein springs it looks like, rides good just creaks a lot. theyre staying on til spring time.

RA100923

That's not so bad then. It's almost similar to some of what I had to do yesterday to swap my seats. A few steps further and I pretty much would have unwrapped both my stock seats and the GSR seats.

I'm curious to see how that DIY goes

I have a ? guys. what do you guys think of putting a victor x manifold and bdl tb on a gsr? TIA. thinking of going that route any input would be appreciated thanks.

flippy_ek

If the engine is totally stock I doubt it's worth it, the skunk2 manifold is cheaper and will no doubt give you the same results on a stock engine. personally, I would consider headwork before opting for an aftermarket intake manifold and tb.

RA100923

Is there a place that specifically makes those inserts? Or should I just have them made somewhere?

myeg9ferio

i think i wanna try and go to the dec16 event i think its gonna be huge but just to spectate and see jay and portflow rip up the track

If the motor is stock it's probably not going to work well. The manifold will push the resonance way up high, probably close to redline... I don't know the dimensions on the victor-X so I can't really calculate it. The throttle body will be too big, killing more bottom end.

The stock GS-R dual plane mani is really good for a street setup, especially on a stock motor. Why the urge to change?

george89eksir

To be quiet honest I don't really like how the gsr manifold looks and I'm getting the manifold and the tb at a really good price I believe, but the thing is the tb is a bdl 72mm I know that's too big, well I plan on doing some head work befor I put on the manifold
