I just made a purchase from King Motorsports and was going back to check on some other parts and noticed they have raised all of their prices on Mugen parts. I assume this has been coming due to the weak dollar.

I was planning on getting the intake after I try out the BPI setup I reccently ordered. Should I now pick the intake up at another dealer where the prices have not increased yet. I may pick up the oil pan as well as that has gone up as well...

Damn, just spent money ordering parts to fix my recent rad leak, now it seems like I need to act quick on these mugen parts...

Probably is the reason why, weak dollar right now, gj Bush...

 

anselm! stop the madness...lol

your CC is prolly giving you the middle middlefinger, either that or it shriveled up and died!!!

 

Went from $715 to $790. That's not that bad. You had me nervous for a second.

.......... and the majority of the other dealers get their stock from King. So there my be no savings with another outlet. Besides, Mugens are worth saving up for anyway.

Yahoo.jp auctions has one listed for about 220 USD and looks to be in really good shape.

 

Fawk!!! I knew I shoulda used the gift cert by now..... me. Mugen intake up $75.

I was told many times that my old integra was a money pit, and this one is no different. Luckily my wife is a very understanding. The credit card better get ready as I will be ordering the Mugen Oil Pan and Intake. Damn and I haven't even got the BPI intake and Samco pipe in yet to try.

 

why not give the BPI and samco intake arm a shot first?

 

Credit Cards???? Eff that, cash only for me. CC's are the devil.... and Marc is too.

I always pay the balance off in full so I get the protection and warranty of using the card and save money as I get rebates on all my purchases. This next bill will be huge!!!

Marc is definitely the devil! Can't wait until my Sparco order gets in!
My rad and hoses should be here by this Friday so I can install them on the weekend.

 

Ha, got mine barely before they went up, with some Samco goodies, and just got my Sparco stuff from Marc installed. ^_^ Me and AW are shooting for the same stuff...

I just HAD to try the intake before the new motor went in.



Yeah my pics are n00b as ****.

 

Oh and I have another splash shield where it's supposed to go in the wheel well incase someone wanted to try and school me. Thought it could also double as an ABS cover, lol...

Yep, our engine bays will look very similar. I have the samco coolant hoses coming in black, samco intake tube in black, have the mugen front bar already, mugen oil cap, mugen socks coming in,.... Big exception is that I have a 94 GSR for OBD I, emissions, and so I do not have to worry about theft! I don't know how you guys drive your R's without worrying about getting them stolen Luckily for me my car has the heart of an ITR.

JjuuN R all you have to do now is get a Hytech header and install it the way I did and then you will be ordering a koyo rad from Marc like me as well as FAL fans to match!

 

I have a Profab in the spare bedroom, also a Koyo I got from Paul (Kicker) believe it or not, but I'm not going to waste too much time as the motor will be getting replaced with this little guy I have chillin' in the garage. Going to have it built and tuned on an engine dyno before it goes in so it'll be a little while.

 

Only 7900 miles BTW, barely broken in.

 

Damn, that is a nice DC5 ITR motor. I was originally thinking of going that route, it would have been cheaper based on all I have dropped already this year. Only thing is that I still need A/C as this is my daily driver. I haven't seen many DC5 ITR swaps that have A/C and pass emissions. After I get the rad installed I am going to get my emissions and hopefully I will pass as I am only using S2 stg1 cams and hondata. Should pass as I have the hytech with the brand new renault cat.

 

A/C pffft. Even when my car had A/C I always hated how it made the car run so it was never used.

 

nice motor Jjuun R looks real clean, i am just finishing up my k swap waiting to get my motor back from blueprint......you should contact ryan rtw dc2 he is looking for b18c5 if you plan on selling it

hybrid racing makes a/c kits for k swaps and it real easy to pass emissions with a swap all the conversion harness's have an obd2 port that fully works just noone wants to run a catalytic converter

 

Yeah he knows it's his if he still needs one, but I have to wait until I'm ready to put the new motor in to take the old out. I'm sure he'll have another motor by then though.

 

oh ok yeah hopefully he does find one soon

I am running OBDI so I would need to convert to pass. Not sure if there is an easy way to pass or run the motor with OBDI. If so then I will probably look to do this once this motor is ready to go.

HE NEEDS TO PAY ME BACK FIRST


Cory I've been super patient, but I get sick of reading of all these things you keep buying when you tell me how tight money is and you can't pay me back. ENOUGH!
