11/16/10

Removing New Toda timing belt, Spoon cam gears, and CTR N1 pulley. I dont plan to use them so I am selling for extra $$$. Replacing with OEM.

The are new (only mounted) and are for sale !!

 

Simple plans, I like it

 

In for this! Your vsm coupe was amazing, im sure this will be no less. And go for Regas again!

 

x2

i really like the toda belt to! were did you get it if you dont mind me asking?

 

So tonight we took off the Toda belt, Spoon cam gears, and CTR pulley. We replaced the old OEM cam seal with Skunk2 triple O ring cam seal. :-)

We got the OEM cam gears installed and waiting on OEM timing belt to arrive at Honda.

Out with the new..


Hondata gasket


New cam seal



SOLD to Project-Ek9


SOLD to weasel1

 

So today I am just waiting on the OEM timing belt to come in. Yes, the water pump is new.

I think I am going to pick up a buffing wheel to clean up bolts and what not.

Stay Tuned !!

 

look at that finga meat!!

 

Why you hatin my my fingers. You know I can not help it !! BTW thanks for all the help pomansouth01 and for all the work you are going to do :-P

11/17/10 Update:
- OEM timing belt is on order
- Picking up a new ITRx pedal set (maybe)
- Ordering kiddRACING narrow header

 

KiddRACING Narrow header is on the way !!

(Sample Pic)

 

Good header choice. Im in the process of purchasing one as well.

 

Nice, I have had a Real Hytech (got it from VtecKiDD) and Hytech replica header in the past. I am anxious to see how this one compares.

 

Nice, Im going from a JDM ITR 4-1 to the RMF replica so Im hoping to see some nice hp gains as well.

 

I was going to run my JDM ITR 4-1, but for just a little more than I sold it for I got the Narrow.


I am selling my B16 Trans. It is mint with no grinds !! $600 Picked Up

 

The Plans
-Aluminum Radiator, Shroud, and Slim Fan
-Custom Bad *** Aluminum 3" Intake w/ V-Stack
-Catch Can Setup w/ Block Fitting Set
-OBDII to OBDI Conversion Harness
-Clutch Line

 

Super sweet!! Who's tuning this beast??

 

I dont know. Maybe this local guy with red hair and freckles. Wait a minute.............(one minute)...............that is you !! BTW: you are tuning it

 

sweet, anyone wanna let us borrow a LM-1 box??

 

I say we call up Sam and setup a dyno session.

 

sounds good, still need some street tuning....

 

Hopefully that header does not come all beat up like tucks did....

 

Maybe Broddle can let us borrow one. I will give him a call.

 

good idea

 

HaHa... I changed the title !! K-Series are for.....Well I may do one later so I wont say it.

 

I just received my FEDEX Tracking # from KiddRACING for my header.
