what do you think of the Edelbrock Performer X?

 

I think those Edelbrock manifolds are pretty good.

I've heard of the bushings from both companies being shitty and wouldn't use either.

I'd only use either OEM bushings or Hardrace bushings.

 

clever euphemism

Correct. Edelbrock, Hardrace and obviously Honda are good companies that produce quality products using money, time and research.
It's a stretch to say Skunk2 products are shitty and unless you have some proof to your statement, which i'm pretty sure they don't make LCAs for CRVs. You surmising anything, is at best worthess.

 

Here we go again with Brice's inferority complex. You of all folks should know by now that I'm not going to say something unless I can prove it.

Really? Well, I can go through my hard drive and search for the picture of the Skunk2 coilover spring that cracked in half on my best friend's old daily driven EH2 if you really want, but I don't need to go out of my way to prove anything to an internet troll with too much government time on his hands. I can also talk to the lot of my friends that race at Buttonwillow and have their Skunk2 camber kits slip after a half day of racing, only to either ditch them or upgrade the hardware.

Anyway, in regards to the bushings, straight from Skunk2:

Hmmmm. Seems to me that if anyone had any Skunk2 LCAs with their bushings prior to 4/2/2010, they were shitty and Skunk2 said as much. They admitted to their TEARING and UNSEATING PROBLEMS.

I don't need to surmise about Skunk2 LCAs to know that they were shitty if the information about them being shitty came straight from the horse's mouth. Keep trying to belittle me about driving my WONDERFUL CR-V.

The only thing worthless at best is your presence in this thread. You contribute NOTHING but flakes from the chip on your shoulder, soldier.

 

granted someone out there, such as a bushing company, might make better bushing than skunk2 but saying they make shitty parts is completely retarded. most of their stuff is very nice, i wouldnt say its top of the line but their stuff is high quality. have you ever had a set of skunk2 pro c coilovers? own a set and then come in here saying they make shitty stuff, i dare ya.

 

this is going to be an excellent debate

 

i use to have a crv, they suck btw...

 

lol how so?

 

"Some people say that cucumbers taste better picked."

I probably think your DA sucks if that's any consolation.

 

have you ever driven a 96-2000 civic? its just like that except they take away any shred of excitement those cars had. eveytime the road bends slightly you have to mash the brake pedal or else it feels like youre gonna flip it over then there is no acceleration unless you floor it and it downshifts to 2nd gear then it feels like youre gonna bounce it off the rev limiter... theyre practical and the 4x4 works amazingly in em but they just plain suck. and they get shitty gas milege too.

 

HAHA, im actually going to buy a crv for my girlfriend pretty quick here, i dont see anything wrong with them

 

MOST people would say my DA sucks so no, its really not any consolation.

 

its not a ****in race car, its not supposed to be hella fast or smashing though turns

 

theyre just extremely boring. good cars just 0 on the fun factor. i wish i had my current DA and my old crv to have around. best of both worlds.

 

just wait. slowing down to 10 to make turns that you can make at 50 in a civic just plain sucks. it doesnt sounds like it should be a big deal but when you have to drive like that every day no matter what, it grinds on ya.

 

lol then it does exactly what its supposed to, its a family car to get you from point A to point B, the car isnt meant to be exciting

 

.....im bout to sell my my jeep for a crv and this crv hatting doesnt make me happy

 

haha are crv's supose to be fun, there just family cars

 

I love my CR-V. I think it has decent power (I have the 146hp B20Z2 version). I don't know what that dude from Kentucky is talking about, because I take turns pretty damn fast in my CR-V. I can take sweeping freeway interchanges at 75+ mph and have no fear of rollover on lower speed turns when driving rapidly. I was actually really suprised that it handles as well as it does.

I still get ~28MPG with a mix of city & highway driving as well. I'm going to put a good 4-2-1 header I never used on my DA on mine to get rid of the horrible stock one, so I should get a little more power and MPG soon.

 

Edelbrock manifolds are awesome!

Performer X on simple all motor builds
Victor X on Turbo and big all motor and nitrous builds!

 

A lot of arguing going on lately lol

 

Sorry, I should have clarified a bit better. I didn't have any problems with the transaction at all, and got everything super quick (I am just 2hours north of the seller too though). But my set-up isn't done yet, still have to finish building my manifold/charge piping. I'll be running a Holset HY35 on my LS , and the other one is going on a F22 powered 87 Lude. Look at Xenocron's site:http://www.xenocron.com/pwm-electron...997dce1099cee1 he sells the same unbranded one for $60, hahaha. Also just did some digging on the forums, and the part number I have on my solenoid (35A-AAA-DDBA-1BA) will work with Hondata (I've got Neptune, so I'm sure it'll work on my shizznat)

That's not a GM solenoid dawg, it's the same Mac valve that Hondata and AEM sell for $100
Look above for confirmation

 

Yay finally sold my header!
Everything from the old setup is gone!

 

which header was that?

 

Mugen 4-1, sold it for $100
