i would LOVE a BENEN tri point... just 150 +shipping is a little steep for now.. maybe when im done fixing everything that needs to be done to the car i'll get it. man the BENEN tri point look sexy! and i think i could still use the ebay strut with it too! haha

what do ou guys think of the intake?? i got it off a wrecked integra (91 i think) and then i hacked it up with a saw and painted it black.

IMO it looks like total crap - dump one of them, I don't even care which.

Relic1's looks good, because his has a 3 way and a regular...but urs is just two...that's like having a dualie hub on ur civic - I just see redundancy...

Little ridiculous to have 2, when one good one, such as a 3-point one, would suffice just fine.

unsungfate, I think it looks a bit ghetto. I'm unsure how much more it will help, but it can't hurt. Do as you wish. I think I would remove the eBay one though.

Relic1, I think that combo looks sweet.

Those examples are overkill.


Keep the Gsr bar though.

It can be done cleanly. Ive seen a 3pt Rigid bar with a Wrinkle red Si bar..it looked clean.

Depends on what your going for. From a track/performance standpoint, your not gaining anything by using both. Personally, I'd go for the stock because I like to stick with OEM parts where possible. (even though I run a spoon on my current setup )

how do you count to three man?
I see nothing running to the firewall in my pic.
(I think the color contrast helped the look of that setup a lot)

eg6style's pic is almost exactly what I have now. Only I have the passwordJDM version. (and a Benen sitting here, I'm dreading to put bolt scratches in it's pretty black chrome finish) stupid I know, why have it if I don't use it...

just by looking at your battery... your bay could use some of this thread before your car becomes hot like fire. (literally). https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1693934

Clean up the bay if you want it to look nicer.
