ATTN: EVO and STi Drivers

Your set of used Sparco seats is not magically worth $300 more than the other three comparable sets for sale by Honda owners.

Sincerely,

Common Sense.

Yea after getting it back to my house and looking it over a little bit better I can see the wheels and the suspension look fine. The engine also looks fine it will only need and oil pan and new headers, which I needed anyway. I am probally going to look for a shell and see if I can save everything.

The RHD was in the car when I got it and although at first it kinda sucked I really grew into liking it.

And I was in a rush with the idea of getting some. Didnt work like I had planed. O well you live you learn. But now I can start with a new project and build it from scratch.

exactly why i wont be going with a drain back setup its not just straight oil that ends up in the CC, but like, it ends up milky and gross.. lol def not something id want ending up back into my motor

i'll just carry a spare quart of oil lol

that's why the breather box, like the T1 for example is designed the way it is

its got baffles and everything to keep the contaminants in the box at the bottom. So basically you got like another quart running throughout the system.

Then if you look at where the fittings that go into the back of the block, they don't come from underneath the box but rather the side. so only "overflowed" oil drains back and the shitty oil stays in the box. not a perfect system but it works and the pros use it for a reason.

Try running a catch can on a fully built 600+ whp, 25+ lbs set up w/o a drain. so much blow by will fill it up like a champ in minutes. you'll be leaking oil and smoking all the way down the track (whcih the officials will hate you for) and have to drain in between runs which is critical and hectic inbetween eliminations, even if you have a pit crew/team.


but even my small little carbing i have on my stock motor works and i cleaned it out the other day to change the lines and there was some nasty stuff in there. glad i had it and guess it actually works.

very true.. on a high hp turbo motor, a drain back might be necessary, but i was talking about for my personal build i wouldnt run one lol just a little stock gsr

i suppose on a high horse power track car with blow by, draining it is i more convenient. but on a lower hp street car (all i will ever see) id like to keep the oil *** clean as possible to make the motor last.

i was thinking, any turbo motor without a catch can would be a bad idea. the stock system used im vacuum to "suck" the pressure/fumes out of the crank. but with a turbo car seeing boost, it will force the pcv closed so any blow by is forced to stay in the bottom of the block *nervous*

yea, plus on a high HP track car.. your changing the oil alot more often then on a street car, so contaminants in the oil wouldnt sit there as long as in a street car lol

looks nice but please dont refer to those bubbles for skirts 'mugen replica' since they are no where close to mugen. they, if anything, are DC2 mugen styled which is still used lightly to describe them.

Think to match your lip you should've gone for painted OEM sides. OEM sides look a bit more like mugen style skirts imo.

Why is it such a bitch to find a 97 bumper.
I had found a kid who was gonna trade me, his 97's bumper for my 94', I was even gonna give him my Aux Lights which I just recently re-aquired, only to find out the bottom of the bumper looked like a Alligator had thought it was prey.

Fack i just want a 97 bumper!
