Defs! I was full smiling when it hit the 2nd butterfly hahahahahaha, yeah it was on carsales, NSW it was a white one, picked it up for $6500 with 1995, 143,000 kms and stock as a rock sitting on fat fives with brand new tyres and 1 year rego haha!
I'm just going to go to JDMyard and pick up their injen brand new, I think its like $425 and another $50 for hydro shield or something lols..

I'm not sure what to do, whether to go ahead with the JDM front conversion or throw the money at Coils, a bigger TB, skunk2 IM, exhaust.. :(

Just remember if you buy the B18C2 Injen CAI this week, you won't be able to fit it on the skunk2 IM if you buy it later. You would need a B18C5 Injen CAI to fit in the Skunk2 IM.

Alex man wheres the pics :p

Nice! What did that set you back?

Where did you notice the biggest gains? And did you lose any bottom end torque?

I think my plans for now for this car are an ITR lip, coils, intake and some wheels.

To be honest I didn't really notice much loss, if any, in the bottom end, the bigger throttle body makes quite a large difference and makes the throttle very sensitive/responsive.. Took me a while to get used to driving it after the mods lols

The biggest gains I would say is high end, the vtec is single stage and the crossover sounds very very nice. When vtec engages it pulls quite hard :) (much harder than stock)

I've installed the coils, I don't really like the lip I bought so I'm probably going to try and find an ITR one as well
