That bay is in need of some serious lovin!!! LOL

So is there any flex if you grab the bar and try to shake it back and forth?

 

ha! yeah i know.. umm. no not at all. pretty solid peice!

 

AHHH!!! another DX do-er!! i did the EXACT same set you got from bestcarpart too!! ya they are real good. i've had mine on my car since august, even went through a fender-(SMASH)-bender and they were still tight and not bent. i got the upper front, upper and lower rear on mine.

i also did the SAME ebay intake as yours, i had to trim just a little tiny bit on the manifold side (because im ****) to get it to fit my way.
the whistling your hearing is standard for any ebay intake. its the filter causing disruptive turbulance down the tube. dont worry about it, just turn your stereo up (thats how i always drive anyways).

Im putting a GSR into my car on the 5th so im gonna be selling my d16y7 and everything else that goes to a swap. Any takers?? motor has 145k on it and has been seafoam cleaned and runs GREAT. im gonna put a new timing belt/waterpump/tensioner kit on it when i get the swap done.


but ya, just use good judgement when buying on ebay, dont go TOO cheap with stuff. you have to look at the basic aspect of the item, compare both items builds.. its best if you can visit a local shop and get your hands on both a good one and cheap on and see the difference.

I did ebay strut bars, intake, header w/ a custom test pipe from a muffler shop (ILLEGAL), ebay muffler, ebay springs (Maxspeed).... so far the only thing out of all that that i dont like was the Maxspeed springs. they are ok, but stiffer then my eibachs on my CRX.

heres a pic of my engine bay without the header on it.

i got a set of those strut bars too and the did make a world of difference in th handling. honestly i woul say they decreased body roll by half. my civic rolled all over the place when i bought it because i dont care to slow down for curvs, and with these, my energy drink doesnt even fall out of the cup holder anymore.
look something like this.

 

seems like we got a little strut bar and intake club going on here lol. Hmmm I'm thinking about getting some of these now lol

 

yea, i did ebay struts, cold air intake, and short throw shifter. got a deal on DC headers tho.[i was gonna go ebay headers]


but it all gets the job done.

Mini-me Swap[pre-header set-up]

 

Just ordered the front and back for $31 shipped, how exactly did you guys install them? take the top two nuts off that hold the suspension in place, put these in, and torque them down? did you have to jack up the car?

 

ive got a factory integra strut bar on mine it fits lovely if it helps any? i dunno but i like how it looks

 

What year integra? thats great news, i bet oem strut bars are better than these ebay ones

 

its off a 94-+ integra...it doesnt bolt into the same location tho...you have to drill holes on the hump just above the strut towers where the aftermaret ones bolt...ill take a pic tomorrow..
