Are those spoon calipers 6 pot?

NO!!! only UKDM and JDM got a 96.

wonder what kind of power a spoon motor makes?

there is not one,...unless there is one that is factory? The car is stock

how can I if the ECU is stock?

ok my o2 sensors have 62k on them and have seen a blown motor. after my jdm motor was installed I've bin throwing a check engine light, so i pluged up my OBD2 and it says RUNNING TO RICH. the shop that did the install said it's prob the o2 sensors because they have oil and crap on them from the moto...

I 'm not wanting a brake upgrade, myR's brakes are more than I need for the street. I was just wondering what honda did to make them so good.
Like are the calipers diff from a GSR's? they look the same as most other honda calipers what about them makes them stronger,or have more clamping power?

What makes the brakes so good? is it the calipers or the brake system?
If put something like spoon calipers on stock gsr wood brake it better than an R?

ok the factory bolt that holds my AEM CAI arm in place(its a factory bolt from the stock airbox) I mine was missing today, I guess it came loose and fell out
. I spent like 2 hours at home depot and could not find one to work.

my TOB went out at about 52k I took everyones advice and went ahead and put a new clutch and flywheel in at the same time. The bearing it self is not alot of money but the labor is the same as doing a clutch. and you take the clutch out to change the TOB.

the 96-97 motors have the stamp B18C and the 98-2000 motors have the stamp B18C5 (JDM that is) Look at the head on the front right side it should say PR3-2. If it says PR3-3 its a 98-2000 spec, if PR3-2 then its a 96-97 spec. Remember this is for JDM motors, all USDM motors have B18C5 & PR3-3. O...

AEM CAI & JDM Header

my motor 2001 just had a rod go threw the block( I feel your pain) mine only had 59k I am buying a used JDM motor from a importer. so you can buy new from Acura, rebuld ,or buy used. There all $$$

I called acura and there price was $5224 for the block and head. But he said it did not come together, he said you had to put the motor together your self. and that would mean even more money for labor for someone to do for me. thats why I did not go that rout. I thought what he said was stranged bu...

I hope this motor works out better than the first yeah my wife was'nt happy when i had to tell her I was putting all that an a credit card

I would have to buy a new block and head. The only thins that are good are the crankshaft and the cams. I looked in to doing a rebuild and it was like $3600-$4000. plus this way I am getting an extra trans.

but there is a big hole in the block,and the bottom of the head looks like a grenade went off.

yeah, why are you so shocked?

I dont know what happened, I take great care of the motor. no I dont have the extended warranty. oh well this is my DD so have any more time to think about it. I orderd a 98-00 spec JDM motor. we see how this go's it was $4,595.00 with free shipping. ouch!!! The intake valve springs were very loose ...

ok well I just threw a rod and my motor is dead :( it only has 58k on it WTF! it was running perfect and then on friday it just went. So I have two Q's 1.does anyone have someone they trust to buy to a used JDM swap from? 2.The only shop near me wants $800 for labor to do the swap, I live in nashvil...

thanks , what about wires?

Hey quick Q, I need to change the plugs and wires, should I just get honda stuff or or what kind do you guys think? the car is stock and it's a daily driver

I think if you can get a type r get one over a gsr ,the diff is big. Anybody who is a car person and really loves to drive will love a type R its just that good. You may still perfer MR or FR but theres no Q about it you will see what the talk is about. I'd say do the reserch on the R and being in h...

ok ,bin looking for these two items to buy, and of course you can spend a freakin lot of money or not so much money. Is there really a big diff between somthing like CUSCO and dc sports? (besides wheight)

I dont think there to bad if the rest of your car is not ricey. and if you have the right light setup. but to me it would be a carefuly thought out plan.

but thats just me
