hey guys, i have a 93 cx hatch with a 97 b18c1 (130k miles), and was wondering what to do next. i do not know much about hondas, so help would be great. this is what i have so far

apexi ws 2 exhaust
eldbrock headers
skunk2 coilivers
other then that, its stock
i was told to get skunk2 intake manifold with password chamber intake...
also, what would i need to get better handling??? i am comptly new to this, and dont know where to start.. i was told something about sway bars.... anyway, help would be great thanks in advance.

 

The shunk 2 intake manifold + intake would be good, but dont waste your money if you plan to go turbo. For handling strut bars and sway bars are a good way to start

 

i dont plan to turbo, and what kind of strut bars and sway bars am i looking for? i really have no clue. thanks

 

It just depends on what you want you can go cheap with it. I'm not sure which brands our the best since ive never really bought them. But id say the same rule applies you get what you pay for.

Oh btw, I'm 95% sure the D16Y8 intake manifold will fit you car and would cost alot less and flow pretty good, just another option.

You really don't have to blow all your money on a strut bar. You can get a decent ebay one for pretty cheap.
As for struts I would recommend KYB AGX's.

Yes, they are pricey, but suspension is something you DO NOT want to cheap out on!

 

i aredy have the skunk2 colivers, so i dont need struts, right??? also, whats the difference between sway bar and strct bar? and they have front and rear too????

 

strut tower bar is located near you intake manifold...

and sway bar is located down under by your exhaust...if you have stock one your fine..... if it is all rusted and bushings are not looking to good id just replace them with

ENERGY SUSPENSION KIT WHICH REPLACES ALL YOUR BUSHINGS WITH POLYURETHANE INSERTS AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY YOULL BE GLAD YOU DID

 

thanks for the replies guys.. any other comments?

Since when have D-series intake manifolds fit B-series motors? The OP said he has a B18C1. A D16Y8 mani will not work with your motor...

 

what kind if sway bars, struct bars do you guys recomond on a hatch??? my car tends to sway too much =/

 

work on suspension..

Integra type R rear sway + asr subframebrace would be a good start.

as for strut bars, password jdm makes good ones, a lil pricey tho..

 

agreed, should do suspension. do you have a full coilover system, or just adjustable coilover springs? if you just have the springs you're gonna want good struts.

 

i have a fullcolover system... thanks for the input guys, any more???

 

get some wheels?

Stay away from the 2 point ones.

 

i have an eg6 i use

mattrix rear low strut
mattrix rear up strut
the front upper stru is still the oem i am planning to buy an AC front upper and a full-race traction bar , you can use a lowe front strut that is not a traction bar, but one thing i can tell only with the rear oneĀ“s its another car to drive it turns much better.

i am using tein ss coilovers and ingal camber kits in the rear and skunk 2 cambers on the front with something like, you can get a lot of fun in truning and cornering :-)

 

thanks for the inpuit guys, and yeah, i'm using 00 si rims, with nitto 205/50/15
