yeah, i've heard it's tough to get a hemi in there too. definately a design flaw on honda's part.

all you need now is a repeat link to the (350?) rwd drag crx, a locked thread, and a better header.

post-caffeine edit:

what header is that, so that this might have some usefulness to others?

i dont' see the problem with this post or why you guys gotta act like little *********** about everything. maybe he's just looking for feedback on what other people use or suggestions like maybe his mount kit sucks, or header is shitty.

This Honda Tech not a largely intellegent user based website, people feel better about make others feel bad...

about the post though there isn't much info, stock motor, swapped, what header? If it is a B16 with a GSR/ITR header then it seems right those blocks are taller and require I longer header correct? That with some cheap mounts making the motor sit low, we need some more info and pics so no one else has this problem, my car is slammed with a 3" downpipe and I have more room than that

Look at what the OP stated when asked for info so we could learn and or help him.

You may now take your foot out of your mouth to say your sorry.

It looks like a Megan 4-1 header. I have one and it hangs that low. With as low as I have my car now it has less than 1" of ground clearance. Megan racing

Souldn't this thread be about torn seats and cracked climate control?

This isn't what sucks about our cars.. its what sucks about your sucky header!

This was mine..

You must have a 4-2-1 with a stock motor. On my gsr motor it fits like crap and the welds suck. The pipng is also really thin. Worst $250 I have ever spent.

That would be... rust, marginal chassis strength, rust, weak axles, and rust. Did I mention rust?
