Welcome FD3SJesse be sure to read all the newbie and FAQ before starting a new thread. Always search before starting a new thread mainly because more then likely it has been talked about numerous times over.

on my Si i have a top fuel intake, toda 4-2-1 headers, smsp 2.5" cat, hy-tech 2.5" twin-loop cat-back exhaust...denso iridium plugs, magnecor 8.5 mm wires, msd sci ignition, msd blaster coil, spoon grounding system...as for internals the only thing i changed was the camshafts, which i replaced for civic type-r camshafts and also a mugen metal headgasket which bumped up my compression .2 more....i used a p28 (sohc vtec ecu) w/ a jdm b16 program, and backed by a apex'i vafc for tuning...for suspension i am using mugen lowdowns and put reinforced bushings around the car, also i switched out the stock motor mounts for spoon reinforced motor mounts...for drivetrain i used a jdm integra type-r final gear which made better accleration and a exedy organic clutch mated to a fidanza 7.5 lb. flywheel....other than that, thats pretty much it , i mightve forgotten something but thats pretty much my setup....Thanx,

"KlarRelax, they just like to mind-**** the newbs so they'll stay quiet for a while..."

Yes that is exactly right.

"iluvmy3rdgenWelcome FD3SJesse be sure to read all the newbie and FAQ before starting a new thread. Always search before starting a new thread mainly because more then likely it has been talked about numerous times over."

Remember to do this dude. Not only will you achieve ALOT of information, but you will save yourself the hassle of getting nagged on by people about using the search.

Yeah but it's still just a b16 lol j/k man. What year civic? Are all your friends imports too? Mine are =/ lol.

Welcome to the group and I hope many of your dreams and wishes come true

Nah but seriously, welcome to the group man.

Jeremy

Have patience and watch the "RX-7's For Sale / Wanted". I looked for about 6 months and finally found a really good deal that was near enough to avoid shipping. Personally I don't think that there's any point looking anywhere else unless you're interested in a bone stock automatic. (You'll probably need more patience than the average 22 year old but that's a good thing. You need to take your time with this car otherwise you'll blow a lot of money unnecessarily, money being another thing 22 year olds are often short on )

Oh yeah, read the faqs, read the faqs, read the faqs. Search, search, search. As soon as you see someone's post count is into 4 digits it gives them license to be merciless, but for good reason. There are so many new threads started everyday that it's hard to keep up so everyone's trying to keep the thread count to the minimum necessary.
