Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a 3 inch cat back. Any recommendations for something that's reasonably priced?

 

does k-teller make anything for the da?

 

The only production one I know is Thermal and I love it! But it's like $700.

Andy hit it on the head:

I had my 3 inch done by a local shop and for materials, piping, resonator, muffler and fab it was about $550.

 

Check the vendor section for deals. That's what it's there for. You can find a Thermal R&D cat-back for less than $700. Or if you wanna go the cheaper route get a KTeller pipe kit and have it welded up. But by the time you buy that and the muffler of choice you could have gotten a production exhaust.

 

in georgia, there are no inspection or emissions. you just hand them your car title, you pay a random dollar amount and you are issued a license plate that you have to renew every year.

 

i have a 3" exhaust for sale if you don't mind making modifications. its for a civic.
random dollar amount... makes sense.

 

they have a database and its based upon the cars value. They said my S2000 was only worth 7 grand while my TSX was worth 20. The CL came in at raging 1800 bucks.

 

what year is your s2k and tsx. s2k's have a smaller buyer base also. the tsx would prolly sell much quicker than the s2k

 

any of you guys interested in some pretty clean oem tan floormats?

 

i finally worked on my da for the first time today in almost a year!!

really didn't do anything spectacular though. i had taken my wheels off of it a few months back to put on my daily and all 4 studs snapped off on the passenger rear hub. finally got some new studs the other day and put them on today so that i can move the car around again to work on it some more (hopefully soon)







yes, i know... extremely rusted. it makes me sad too i need to rebuild the entire back end the way it looks. either rebuild or replace calipers (pretty sure this one has been hanging out for a while anyhow), new pads, new rotors. possibly new bolts. and a LOT of cleaning. oh yeah, and NEW BUSHINGS through out!

 

 

some spoon/vision EF mirrors and real MF8s and that car would be perfect.

 

has anyone in here rebuilt brake calipers before? looking at this as an option for my rear calipers vs buying new ones

 

I attempted to rebuild the calipers for the rear disk conversion on my EG (same basic caliper design as DA). I gave up after probably 50 attempts to pop in the cylinder dust boot. I gave up and just got some new lifetime warranty calipers from O'Reillys....

 

hmmm. ok. what was it doing that you couldn't get it in properly?

 

Hard to say, the TSX is an 04 and a 6speed, the S is an 00. I bet they would both sell relatively easy, but I don't plan on selling either one of them, ever.

 

Went for a Cruz in the local hills with my buddy -_-

 

There is a dust boot that pops in to a groove on the caliper and then you have to screw the cylinder in to the caliper and pop the dust boot over the groove in the cylinder. I tried it every way possible and ended up throwing in the towel after sitting on the floor for hours with not even a glimmer of hope of getting it done.

This boot.


I just found this little diagram that might help you if you decide to do the rebuild. I wish I would have seen this before I threw my caliper down the end of my driveway and gave up haha.

 

thanks for the info. i'm probably gonna do a lil more research on this before i decided one way or another on it

 

put a air gun on the back of it and put the piston by the dust boot and lube it up real good and then blow some air into it and it will pop it right on to the piston

 

pictures of my old car, the 4 door and some parts i picked up for it.

finally getting the new front end welded on before paint.

 

doing a little work the other day on the B16

 

B16 ftw!

 

hey guys its time for me to get new tags for the teg, I think I can get historic tags, I wonder what the pros and cons of having those plates and I was thinking about getting personalized plates, I narrowed it down to 2 that I really like, what do you guys think? here they are:

tag 1: JH4 DB2 tag 2: 1G9S9R2


I'm leaning more towards the first one, but the second one is pretty nice too.

Well there are some "restrictions" to getting Historic registration however I believe MD just changed everything last year. I haven't read up on the new changes.

They limit how many miles per year and for what purposes you can drive the car but that really doesn't matter much. I would say there are Pros through the roof on this one, with no more emissions testing being one of them!!!
