Looks good man and I'm looking forward to the RSX front lip mod :tup:

MURD3R_ES1 · Jun 14, 2011

nice progress dude

socales1 · Jun 14, 2011

Looking good. Will the coilovers let you go any lower ?

04CivicEx · Jun 14, 2011

Looks much better with the drop! :tup:

tipnitty · Jun 14, 2011

Who's jealous of the drop?

This guy is.

Looks great man.

Steven · Jun 14, 2011

looks nice!

Reefermattness · Jun 14, 2011

Thanks for the compliments guys! To answer the question yes it will go lower. I've probably not even used half the threads on the coilovers. It could go quite a bit lower but the streets here are AWFUL, and I already scrape on just about everything.

renn1234 · Jun 14, 2011

how much, and where did you purchase the coilovers? annnddd (sorry for so much questions) how did you make your climate control amber?

DIGGING the drop bro!

Reefermattness · Jun 15, 2011

So far good feedback!! It only need some more balls now.

Here are the coilovers I purchased:

I also got the ingalls camber kit, both front and back. My dash was like that new from Honda in 2002, maybe its the DX that have that color?

aniki · Jun 15, 2011

I believe the 01-03 coupes come with the amber interior lights. I want that speedometer though!

Reefermattness · Jun 18, 2011

It was really easy to do the cluster swap. It really took me about as long to understand the wiring diagram in the DIY as it did to do the wiring. About 2 hours total and it was WAY worth it.

Ordered some CorSport shifter cable bushings on Friday! I think I will actually put my Dynamat and electric windows in this week as well finally. LOL

black_em2 · Jun 19, 2011

How are those coilovers riding, I need to drop mine a few more inches haha.

Reefermattness · Jun 21, 2011

Good so far. WAY better than 167k OEM w/ 1 blown strut.

black_em2 · Jun 21, 2011

Just ordered my coilovers today

rokkor's

Reefermattness · Jun 22, 2011

Let me know if you have any questions, Im not all knowing like some of these guys, but I'm pretty good with trial and error.

I threw these in yesterday, and it literally took me 25 minutes. I can tell my shifting is much crisper now.

black_em2 · Jun 22, 2011

The guys at our local stereo shop are gonna help me put them in for cheap since I have nooooo toools whatsoever. this makes me wanna get the bushings now haha. How's the power windows? I just installed mine but I went all OEM (door panels should be here tomorrow) i jerry rigged the shit out of my manual crank door panel.

Reefermattness · Jul 7, 2011

Called the body shop to check on my car. Got its clear on today, and he is putting it back together tomorrow. He also said they took out some dents while they were at it! :dance:

Put a deposit down on d17a2 head and crower stage 1 cam. Just found Bryan's dyno w/ stage 1 cam and it looks like its going to make a huge difference! :tup:

*FBPem2* · Jul 8, 2011

Ooooooooh that's just plain sick man, love it!

Reefermattness · Jul 11, 2011

civx · Jul 11, 2011

Top Gun · Jul 11, 2011

Very clean man, clay bar does wonders :werd:

The_Assassin · Jul 11, 2011

ForcedFedEm2 · Aug 19, 2011

How do you like the cam? I loved it for that nice drop in and go power.

Reefermattness · Aug 19, 2011

Pretty noticeable difference. It needs a tune still tho that is for sure. Merging on the freeway is sweet now. LOL Have an appointment for Tuesday for a tune, unless anyone has a VAFC2 tune for i/h/e/s1?

ForcedFedEm2 · Aug 19, 2011

Talk to Jamis33. I ran the cam straight off the stock ecu. Made 125 whp with it. With kpro, i was around 135.

robertschultz1 · Aug 19, 2011

Like the head and cam? Glad you got it installed!

jamis33 · Aug 19, 2011

I played around with the afc and got some decent noticible gains but I never dyno'd or anything. I also had a ported head which I think made a huge difference. I found best vtec point was 3400 or 3300 I forget it was whichever one let me cruise along on the highway without vtec kickin in. That's easy. I had to add fuel at idle but I think that was cuz of my ported head. When I got my wideband I tried setting it to no adjustments and I was running a 16.2:1 at idle. I added fuel and got it down to low 15s/high 14s. The stock ecu is pretty good at compensating so cold idle and WOT are the only things I made adjustments too. I think I actually added +2 to fuel from 3500 to 7000. There arent really any additions needed other than that. I'd be itnerested to see what a tune could do tho. Have fun with it! Honestly I think i/h/e/s1/afc neo/clutch/fw was my favourite setup on this car. I'm boosted on stage 1 cam and its fun as hell but the gas milage and oil leaks are killing me along with all the other work everything has become. Take it from me, you'll want more power but DONT DO IT. lol. You'll get hooked and become an engine mod junkie like the rest of us.
