the car is looking awesome! do you still have the CD/MD player? wanna sell it? i'm one of the few who use MD here in the states and would love to be able to play them in my S

 

Finally swapped to AP1 Exhaust hanger and readjust the Greddy SE exhaust, so now its sits nice and even both sides.

The exhaust has quieted down quite abit.

But the summer heat is kill the vtec performance.

 

ok today I finally did the over due valve adjustment myself today!Seems like the power is back!
Now the power through rpm is much stronger and linear, the vtec kick is less now and take lesser effort to hit vtec!
my first valve adjustment DIY... at first it took awhile, then after the first 2 cylinders then things starts to speed up!, good that everything went smoothly...
now the valves sounds a bit louder thou is it normal?

 

finally bite the bullet and ordered a new AP1 Steering rack, and the price is .


So I will be installing the steering rack along with the SOS clutch and the CR steering rack stiffeners.

 

After the 3 long nights over the weekend I have finally completed the,
AP2 > AP1 Steering rack; (Part# 53602-S2A-013 > 53602-S2A-003)
ACT > SOS Sport Clutch
Added OEM CR Steering rack stiffeners
Swapped stock cat to T1R 70mm test pipe.
CR shift knob with red lettering (Part# 54102-S2A-E00 = Euro special edition shift knob)

It was a pain to disassemble the original steering rack and to reassemble the new one... but Wow what a big difference it made with the steering rack! The first turn I made I almost ram on to the side walk... still need some find adjustment and reset torque sensor...etc

SOS Clutch is great as expected light but grabs quick.

CR Steering rack stiffeners is here just to complete the conversion, I wont be able to feel the difference since I have swapped the steering rack at the same time.

T1R 70mm test pipe made the whole exhaust quieter and rev quicker... doesnt smell as bad as I thought it would be.... the O2 fix was very difficult to threat in, and I dont know which angle it should point to to avoid interferences.

I love the new shift knob feels great

 

dang, even though it's been a year since you picked it up. You got so far from stock. so clean too.

 

Finally swapped out the AP2v1 rims to CR rims

 

looks great!

 

Forgot to mentioned that I have removed the T1R 70mm test pipe and reinstalled OEM cat for annual inspection...


I think I will keep the cat on because I kinda like the top down clean air smell better and not have to worry having a yellow bumper in the future...

 

Finally installed the OEM CR seats tonight! I find that the seating position is slightly lower than my stock seats.
Completed with swapping to yellow stitching Personal steering wheel and yellow lettering CR shift knob.
