  1. Hasport mounts suck really bad!! Nobody buy this product! Track day ruined

    Hi guys, I got in a dang near raging argument with hasport probably a year and a half before this issue reared its ugly ugly head. It was about those bolts snapping.

  2. ACT clutch longevity? Worried for track day

    Hi guys, going to another track day on the 25th. got 20k on it. I’m praying my act hdss organic clutch holds up. How worried should I be? Idk some said act clutches suck. It was fine at the other track day. I really think In the back of my mind I’ll be lucky to get 80k out of this clutch...
  3. Cdv delete findings and results

    Hi guys, I just did a clutch delay valve delete. The results while subtle are quite a bit noticeable. Just really notice smoother gear shifts in general, and the best part is that it doesn’t increase the shock load on the clutch. I know valex racing sells a full kit with a cdv deleted slave...
  4. 4th gear synchro going?

    Hi guys, I’m battling kind of an annoying issue currently with my si. Well 3rd to 4th but not 4th to 3rd kinda clunks a touch, I also am running redline MTL trans fluid.

  6. Are boundary oil pump gears a must?

  7. Better lug nuts for enkei wheels?

    Hi guys, I have some lugnuts that I hate (just some gorilla style steel acorn lugnuts and they rust). They're the right profile but they are kinda chewing up the lug seats on my enkei nt03 wheels since the enkei wheels don't have steel lug seats like the factory honda wheels. Its mainly...
  8. Solution to rear toe adjuster ears?

    Hi guys, probably the most annoying thing about this car and nearly any new honda, is the rear toe adjuster design. They have this crappy designed retention system with these little sheet metal ears that the cam rides on, mine are bending already, I was trying to weld the little flimsy ears to...
  9. Questions about coil overs

    Hi guys, I am curious if I get coil overs, will I need rear camber arms? My second question is if anybody had rubbing issues with their maperformance street catback when lowered 1"? A 1" drop was what I was after with some tein flex z si coil overs, and lowering springs aren't an option for me...
  10. How reliable will the stock turbo continue to be tuned? Some turbo upgrade questions too

    Hi guys, I'm curious how long the oem turbo can last being run on 5w30 and at 24psi? Lol. Really this is a segway into upgrading the turbo later. I'm considering a vargas GC turbo, as its not as massive as the R365 or garret 2860r or w2. But on the other hand, I'm not quite sure how the...
  11. bad injectors maybe?

    Hi guys, my oil analysis came back good from amsoil. But the fuel dilution is really high (5% GC) basically they think its leaking fuel injectors and its critical . I ran about two bottles of b12 chemtool fuel injector cleaner through the fuel system. I have no misfires and the car runs...
  12. Is the full acuity shifter assembly 100% worth it?

    Hi guys, still kinda on the edge. But the acuity shifter assembly looks amazing. Idk the stock shifter assembly is kinda sloppy in my si and occasionally I find myself shifting into false gates. Anyone think its totally worth it to get the full acuity adjustable shifter assembly? I mean I...
  13. how worried should I be?

    Hi guys, I was bored, just changed my oil today. Well for fun I decided to cut open the old oil filter. I was a little alarmed at the non ferrous silver shavings in the filter. Then I cut open the filter the previous oil change. Not as much. Oil wasn't bad looking (dark but not metallic at...
  14. Still burning oil. Causes?

    Hi guys, after my big job of upgrading the valve seals, doing the headgasket with studs (While I was in there) I initially thought my oil burning was fixed. Well no more smoke at startup, but oil consumption decreased from half a quart every 1000 to barely 3mm below the full line ever every...
  15. Any reason to flash back to stock?

    Hi guys, idk why, I have this sense my car is gonna break again. Gonna be something lol. I mean on TSP stage one, I think I've already upgraded what broke (valve seals to gsc divison, beefier motor mounts, ACT street clutch, fresh OEM hg just cause along with TSP arp stud kit) and recently a...
  16. Great master cylinder upgrade (valex racing kit)

    Hi guys, just installed a valex racing em2 master cylinder kit. I am very happy. For $130 on ebay, it came with an excedy master em2 cylinder, and a full braided clutch line from the master to the slave. Really it just removes the damper which does wonders. I decided to keep the delay...
  17. Clutch delay valve delete? Is it worth it?

    Hi guys, with my act clutch in my si, its a little annoying feeling like I have to granny shift the thing. Like you kinda gotta pause for a second between shifts to get a perfect shift, if you don't you get a kinda clunk. Not as noticeable when ripping along but. Mainly it was an experiment...
  18. Anybody feel an OEM headgasket and studs was a mistake?

    Hi guys, after my fiasco with replacing and upgrading to gsc valve seals, and replacing the headgasket along with OEM and TSP's arp stud kit. I am starting to worry the oem gasket might be a mistake as some said the cometic gasket is better than the OEM. Believe it or not the valve seals...
  19. Thoughts on moving from TSP stage one to phearable 1.5r?

    Hi guys, since i have a hondata, I don't really have choice. Last I checked its phearable 1.5R or nothing because I don't have K tuner. Idk I'm not sure how much more the risk factor goes up for my daily. Yes I agree I feel foolish for modding my daily driver, but at the same time its so...
  20. Got my car back together, have a few questions

    Hi guys, after a huge win of getting my car back together in one day, (did arp headstuds and a fresh honda headgasket too) with the engine far apart already, I decided to do the headgasket after I did the valve seals (honda headgasket was $40 I was like why not) I was surprised to find my...
