Favorite modification that you've done

By ChicagoMike
- Thu Mar 22, 2007 2:27 pm #3433 Whats the single modification that you've done that you like the most?? Just pic one mod and give a rundown on why its your favorite. Post pics, links, mods, and so on. Lets see whats out there.
I'll go 1st.....

For me its my DTR/SSR header. This header retails for about $1075, but like everything I come up on...I got a good deal. My ITR motor with Skunk2 stage1 cams and DC Sports 4-1 header was stuck @ 181ish horsepower on the dyno. I got this header, and went with stage2 cams and layed down 195whp, and the tq took a nice jump too. This header was made for a 2.0, and now that I have a 2.0 liter block I should get the full potential out of it.

- Sat Mar 24, 2007 6:30 pm #3622 the engine has been in for about 6 months now and im still ironing out some nigle little problems. lol. all part of the fun though i reckon.

no really massive problems, just little things. like having to replace the 02 sensor for the itr one... i didnt know that so the car ran abit shit for a while.

biggest problem i had was blowing by b16 gearbox up. lol. i couldnt afford the itr gearbox str8 away so had to keep my b1 box - lets just say it didnt last very long with the extra power the b18c was putting down. lol.

sure i'll keep you all up dated with the RR day - i should have loads of pics and some nice video footage of lots of hondas on the rollers and some vtec action on the drive there and back. :)
