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.
