Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

thats too much money lol. I think ill just get the cheap sensen dampers (they are said to be overly-stiff anyways, which im fine with) with the tein H tech springs. 

 

The H tech are a 1.3in front drop, and a 0.8 inch rear drop

the s tech are a 1.9 front and a 1.4inch rear drop. 

 

I think the S tech will lower it too much, like I said I dont want attention. Is there anything else you know of, perhaps something cheaper?

 

KYB Excel-G / GR-2 struts can handle H Tech springs, generally.

 

I have not tried Sensen, as they are not available here. I've tried a set of cheap dampers before; they worked great when new but deteriorated quickly (probably poor bore machining or substandard soft components). I'd personally stick with the major brands.

Found a forum post of the car on stanceworks!

Maybe from previous owner? It's from September of last year..

 

That thing is gonna rub like crazy wherever the asphalt isn't butter smooth. 

That's not that hard to correct. The interior is what I'm more worried about

definitely. The engine on the orange one was dressed up pretty nicely too. The 180 degree headers gave it a cool sound.

I've had this car a few years now and I still love it! [1998 Honda Accord LX 4cyl manual]

The only problem with it is that it tends to stall when idling though, but hey I only paid $1,300usd for it. [it also has some blood stains on the headliner.....]

Those headers are crazy. I really want to hear it. Never seen anything do a crossover before the collectors.

They are 180 degree The setup basically simulates a flat plane v8 firing pattern. They make a huge difference in sound when compared to a standard setup.

here we go, not the same car, but a similar setup.

Is that a pillarless coupe?

And the old merc gauges look so funky.

@techswede

It might just look like that, 200 00 kms without a cleaning I think.

Yup. Imagine the open space <3

I really like the funky-ness of the gauges. Especially the marked shift points^^
