Do you know where I work? PM me and I can try to help.

Possibly looking at getting a S2000 CMC and adaptor for a tucked CMC look. My master is squeaking badly and it is annoying the hell out of me.

Thanks!

Picked up replacement axles and attempted installing on Sunday. Got everything done within 1.5 hours. Looked under the car after lowering it back down and a constant stream of trans fluid was coming out. Great. Started pulling the passenger side apart again to check everything over and it just started to pour (rain). FML. Car ius still sitting in the air at my moms house. I think the the axle seal on the transmission is leaking.

My buddy should be picking up a replacement axle seal and a few quarts of MTF from Honda today for me. Let's hope I can get the car back up and running, or I will just tow it to a shop and take a day off of work. **** it.

Hey CVCRCR

Do you still have your velocity stack around? I remember you saying you were not gonna use? Whats the diameter?

Velocity stack is a 3" where it connects to the pipe, and something like 6" on the other end. Not too sure if I am going to sell it. It should be tucked away in one of my totes at my moms house.

What would be the best way to create custom piping? I was looking around but I couldnt find much info. I remember you creating custom intake piping for your Single Cam back then. As of right now I have a regular AEM intake, which I think it was designed for the stock tb so the piping is about 8mm smaller. Even the rubber coupling that connects the tb to the air filter piping was forced to be able to fit the IT 62mm. Im trying to figure out how I can improve that part without having to buy another Air intake.

The piping you see in the pics when the car was supercharged was a random pipe from my job that was laying around. Some company actually mis-shipped that to us and said we could have it, so I took it. It was perfect for my car.

8mm smaller? The stock Civic TB is 56mm, right?

So you want bigger intake piping? Anything like 2.5"-3" should be fine. You can go to a shop and have them weld something up for you, but it may be costly. My idea is to buy an intercoole piping kit as it has numerous bends etc. Just cut the piping where you need to.

Yea. 2.5" would be perfect since 62mm is somewhere around the 2.25. I am trying to make something that doesnt come too costly. If not I would just really buy another intake (somethign that im trying to avoid). and definitely I am not gonna use that ugly plastic worm type piping.

I wonder if at home depot I could get something, Guide me!!

The set up Im trying to think of and go for is to run the piping and get it out thought the front bumper. Something similar to

But just with a regular VT on it
