Same width as stock, it fits right on top of the stock mirror, inside the black casing. I love how it looks, and it definitely has a wider field of vision

This doesn't seem to vibrate as much as my stock one did, maybe because of the foam in the 3M tape damping it or just my imagination

The type-s oil pump especially with forged internals causes the motor to vibrate a good bit more. At least in comparison to a z3 block with a z3 oil pump. The type-s doesn't have balance shafts. But it's definitely a better pump for revving higher.

Sick!! What does the bottom portion look like? What manifold is this? I've never seen it before. Looks interesting, could work or could be poor. :shrug:

Ninja edit: I see it's an FN2 RSP manifold. Why is it so rare and what's special about it?

I'm hoping it does the trick. I'm so torn between throwing some TSX pistons into the motor along with swapping the head or just keeping it stock block with an a2 head
What is the benefit of this? I haven't heard of this either. You should make a thread about this, so there can be a dedicated topic where people can chime in and learn. Would +rep you for sure

ABS is going underneath the windshield cowling where the Cruise Control was, Paint will remain Satin Silver Metallic, and the powdercoated wheels will be a nice shade of grey. The power steering line is just massive and unsightly from the factory so I'm making one that will route slightly differently around the engine bay and therefore remove that eyesore.

depends on the angle of the wire coming off the cannon. if the wire runs straight then a 202K boot, if 90 degree then 222K
Technically, the 174 size is needed for the 24 shell size, but in my opinion, its way too big and looks like crap. So i recommend this

202K163-25-0 for straight wire routing
222k163-25-0 for 90 degree wire routing

I know all the part numbers ;) lol They are 301A boots, the last 3 numbers depend on the size of the bundle(s) you are applying it over. I use a caliper to measure the bundle and then choose the proper boot. The last harness I made used a T boot for the first break out and it was a 301A028, but if you don't use concentric twisting then you may have to go with a 034 size.

I advise with keeping several boots handy of different sizes. It sucks when you dont have the right stuff on hand. PM for prices on boots if you would like to compare prices with your current supplier

Thanks for the kind words! Always help to have the layout diagram of the connector you're using since the numbering on the connector can get confusing and may end up putting it in the wrong hole..... no pun intended

I think Spaz is referring to the way suede wears. Even the best quality suede, after a long time of usage, wears in a way unique to suede. If you look at 8th gen Civic Si interior pics online, you'll see what I am referring to.
There is no need to worry, however. I have heard, not empirically, that you can maintain your suede and it will stay nicely fresh!

Keep us updated with pictures. That mounting plate really came out great! SUPER clean and professional with the allen-head bolts! I put the same ones on my Ruckus :upsidedownparty::spazface:
