Party'd til midnight then went back home lol
sorry no decent pics of the car i tracked but it looks like any other evo out there with gawdy body kit and some aero
HAHAHA You're a fool Jay! That was a great session man. Granted you have talent what is done to the EVO?

LoL joel. My brothers evo hasnt seen many changes since 07. Full voltex kit. Tomei stuff under the hood (cams, mani and turbine, etc).
We have just been recently working our way back to actually making it a more reliable track car. We even ditched the problematic project u big brakes and went back to stock with just better pads for now. The big old honking turbo it had that net the car to 450whp was also scrapped for a decent sized tomei unit.
Most importantly, the new tune is now super responsive. Even for evo noobs, 299whp and 300tq doesn't sound impressive but this is a MR with the shorter ratio 6spd trans, so its pretty good. I've actually took a liking to this heavy beast. Now to actually convince him to get a front diff and lighten d car...we shall see.

I know man same here I got lucky. I have a question for you all motor guys about exhaust and piping. I have a b18c going to be putting ITBs on it. We are doing 2.5 piping to apexi ws2 exhaust. The car is my daily I don't want it to be loud so would you guys recommend a cat converter as well? I have heard all motor with straight piping to exhaust it's not that loud. However, I have had some people tell me it's going to be loud and sound like crap.
Note that the 48 state ones are junk. Spend the extra money and get a CA legal one. The big difference with them is that the CARB legal ones are required to carry a longer warranty than the 48 state ones, and are therefore built to higher standards.

I think it's been nearly 10 years since I posted something on here. Haha
finally got my hands on a local clean white sedan. (Impossible to find a rust free one here in mn) As soon as I saw it on the lot, I took out my credit card. Haha

Me personally, I negate the fact that hi flow cats and cats even exist. But don't listen to me because that's not sound advice.

Nothing like the smell of 91 catching up to you at the stop light :D

Not necessarily. There's a efficiency battle going on there. Properly built machines run better than stock cars. I've seen K swap cars that pass emissions cleaner than stock RSXs with a cat. I'm not saying, "everyone, start tossing your cats out the window," 'cuz there's a place and time for everything. There's a point where one or will destroy the other. In the future I do plan on giving a hi flow cat a try and get some first hand data for myself.

Agreed.

I have a different take on that than one might expect. Your arguments for a car running just as clean without a cat are totally valid (even though most don't). It's more of a social responsibility thing for me. Legally, the car needs to run a cat. On a street car, a properly sized quality cat is such a teeny tiny detriment to output that it's hardly worth omitting. So you're breaking the law for hardly any measurable gain. Now, I don't care about the law per se. You end up with a lot of people running around without a cat, so more invariably get caught, and it puts more scrutiny on everyone with a modified car... For almost no gain to the offending cars. 99.9% of street cars will be just fine with a cat. Just my $.02.
Note that the 48 state ones are junk. Spend the extra money and get a CA legal one. The big difference with them is that the CARB legal ones are required to carry a longer warranty than the 48 state ones, and are therefore built to higher standards.

Thank you guys for the great advice and input. Well good news is I think I found another sedan to swap my motor into and might have a possible buyer for the green one. Plus I'm picking up a ruckus next week.

Well...so it's finally happening!!! Joel has all (almost all) of the parts to get the bottom end machined and assembled. It's only been like years in the making, and now it's happening. Also...I'm scared because this car should just a little fun.

You're welcome! Kind of fun to think that some of my car is way on the other side of the world now...
Re: ** The offical 96-00 civic 4dr thread ** PART 3
Replaced pretty much all the suspension bushings on this thing. New tie rods too. And in search of an oem front lip which is weirdly hard to get. This is pretty much how it will be when i leave it for my son next week.
