me too, but is the theoretical top speed of a b16 tranny going to max out before that mph amount? just another reason why i need the ls 5th
fyi: haven't installed it yet, just had a photo of it from the seller. Trying to think up what I'll do with the hazard light, low fuel light and ALB light. They're leftovers and mine's an 89 chassis. You 9091 kids got it easy.

I did the same, just seemed easier
Here's a question for anyone that has a hatch. I put the Tanabe SHM on the sedan tonight and it ends with a triangle shaped, 3-hole flange, but my sedan's cat has an oval shaped, 2-hole flange. Does the hatch's cat have a triangle shaped flange or what? I'm trying to figure out why this thing didn't bolt up as expected. Either way, I'm going to have to get a new flange welded on tomorrow. My hill billy bailin' wahr trik aint gunna wurk fur long.
if it's a OEM cat it should have the two hole flange inlet and a three hole flange outlet
mine came the same way (currently takeing offers on full exhaust system FYI)
I had a photoshoot out of town today so the CRX finally went down the highway. While the super high strung tranny is fun, I'm still going to do the ls 5th thing. I miss that setup. Good thing is hydro ls 5th's are still available @ Acura.
Oh and up the car can go entirely too fast before it redlines in 5th. I wussed out around 130 or so. Kinda ran out of my USDM numbers.

Little did I know that SH2 and SH3 meant different things. Gauge cluster mounts from an SH3 were a hatchback not crx, so the crx hood won't fit snugly around the dash... oops. If anyone has SH2 cluster mounts LMK.
I got all the wiring done. I'm a bit befuddled on why I don't see the cluster light up. I jumped the dimmer switch per the instructions.
on left is 88-89 crx cluster mounts. on right is 90-91 hatchback. they're too tall for crx dash & 90-91 crx hood

I have the original japan to us shipping box, product box, packaging and of course the 5zigen wheel

yay now i can get a better estimate on when to shift

super low mileage too

as low as the header wants me to go

i remember discussion of DA trailing arms vs. Si trailing arms in this thread. soon i will have good evidence if there is a difference or not. anyway, does anyone know how to distinguish between the two visually so i can make sure i get the right parts?
my dad has a TDM tri-y on his Type-r swap in the EG hatch and its slammed. He only drags on drastic stuff.
Yeah I didnt know that before I bought the header. I'm not bitching I love the header. I just want the car lower thats why im getting a different one.
lol, i heard that, thats why i stayed d series, but then my car didnt end up being as low as i thought. I got form functions, they could go about 1" lower but Idk.
