With such increased throw, technically counter acting what honda Research & Designed for such a long time for their typeR models, in your opinion and anyone elses who has thrown on atleast the circuit hero extension, believe its better or worse vs the short shifter / gearknob combo the typeR is manufactured with ( DC2r mainly )Quote:

My fastline shifter feels pretty much the Same throw length as my ITR shifter, but was quicker due to being closer to the steering wheel. (hands could stay on the wheel for just that tiny bit longer) Although, to be honest it feels a little bit looser/inaccurate than the stock shifter also. Found myself making more mistakes down shifting from 3rd to 2nd at the track as compared to the stock setup. But could be just the fact that is was new and i wasn't 100% used to it.
took mMy SSR's off the civic and put onto the e30. Civic is now sitting on two e30 BBS 14" basket weeves on the back and one space saver on the front. Other side is sitting on a block of wood until tomorrow when i pick up a two other wheels for the civic to sit on.
MFactory extended ball joints :)
love that shifter
what i do? drove around the last couple days, and only got around 330kms out of a full tank :(, no heavy acceleration or WOT
starting to think i need that apexi AFC sooner than later on
my D-series was blowing a bit too much smoke and becoming a pain in the ass to drive........
out she came.......engine and g-box together

driving home from the coast and my 10k rebuild goes bang. brand new timing tensioner shit itself, sent ball bearings into my timing belt area and has now skipped a tooth nd come loose. and to top it all of, my mechanic is trying to say its not covered under warranty... so to court i shall be going
^ wow what a shame, thought that 'B19' setup was reasonably fresh when you purchased it? Unlucky to miss out on Adrian also
yeh, was going good, initially had low compression on 1 cyl. then after awhile the old setup bent a valve nd cracked the block, 10k rebuild and now the new tensioner shits itself.
adrian was planning to tune it aswell,what a bummer
pm details of builder please !
No warranty WTF?!?!
GTFO !
im waiting to see what there going to do, as we dont know what else is damaged. its been a week, so i think im gonna go have a word with them, coz this is crap... il be taking them 2 court if they wont warrant the other damaged parts, ( as they said they will warrant the tensioner only)Quote:

that modded crz to the standard is a far cry, as much as i wanna say its a good car, for the price, lets say around 45k, there are better alternative, wrx, ralliart lancer, golf, but if ur wanting that hybrid image, look no further lol
Till honda brings out a turbo version, crz isnt worth jack compared to other sporty cars on the market
If the Australian market is any like the usa, it wont sell at all here lol
commencing b20 build shortly started to polish up some parts during spare time at work
http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/134/07122010434.jpg
also rounding up some parts for build,,, eventually

ghetto DIY black respray on one of of those flaking strips under the windows
lowered the front more, coilovers cant go any lower now lol
^ get some extended ball joints soon ;)
< harness for recaro and a modified mod plate
Changed the Oil and Spark Plugs and installed a JVC cd player woop, first addition to my new civic :D
Bolted my muffler back on and drove it up my street then back into the garage. I miss driving it daily :(
Yesterday - took delivery of 4 brand new 16x8" Rota RB's in silver with polished lip/dish.
Today - masked & sprayed wheels centres in 2-pack metallic gunmetal grey. Looks the shiz. ;)
Tomorrow - get 205/45/16 tyres fitted & balanced. Lower the coilovers so the Ek sits roughly 100mm from the ground. Get a full wheel alignment. Possibly get the brake discs machined (if they do it).
Took it to the carwash with the 3TZ crew.
Gave the car a much needed clean and removed my "FOR SALE" sticker. Best feeling ever.
Now all my hard work and money stays with me.... 1 more year on the road and then full time track car.
My Aim.... Catch up to Mikes B20 NA Monster... B16 Turbo FTW!!! :)
^^^ nice im glad ur keeping it

hey guise i did this to my car yesterday but only saw the damage today, i aint even mad? jokes i think i might cry?
get new lip or respray?
http://i56.tinypic.com/2cyi2za.jpg
:(
just respray it dude.
lol sif get a new lip cos its scratched.
if i did that id prob spend over 10k by now.
just respray man
how much is respray? cause i thought itll be in hundreds and a new lip will be around the same lol
depends on how much a can of touch up paint costs.
do a DIY
got my ebay extractors ,any tips on installing them onto a d16y4, does it bolt directly onto stock piping or do i neet to run a full exhaust
Sif re-spray your lip each time it gets a little scratch on it... I would of spent a billion dollars by now if that was the case... HAHA just cop the scratch man, I'm sure it will get plenty more on it in the future, that is, if your riding low enough :pQuote:

diy man, not that hard.... just get the pressure pack spray cans, with ofcourse ur correct color in it, an spray it urself.... if ur like me, take the whole lip off, an sand it down, body fill the deep cuts an sand than spray away :)
I'm with DNYALL haha cop the scratch makes the car looks like it actually gets driven
hahaha yeah good point, might just leave it for now
Restored my head lights to original condition in all under 15 mins :)
