UPDATE: AEM V2 is going in on Tuesday and this weekend I got a ITR front lip and installed my C-pillar bar. The ITR lip will go on once I get an ITR wing and drop the car.. looks weird @ stock height IMO lol

GSR looks good. Thanks for posting a pick of the N1 muffler, ground clearance seems pretty good and your at about the same drop as me. Did you buy the exhaust new? Oh and I don't believe you have a ITR lip, looks more like a Si/Type R rep lip (similiar to a 99-00 EM1 lip just for Integras). But I still like it, I'll be paint matching my trim come this summer

Yes I got it new... has a few scrapes WAAAY on the underside where no one will see now tho "/ i need to raise it a lil bit. And the lip is a CTR i think. That's what other members have told me... That's the only ebay part on my car lol my buddy sold it to me and I didn't recognize the difference til later. I'll get a legit ITR lip one day but this will do for now

Thanks man... yea the build slowed down because I cut down on work and focusing on doing well this semester you know. Next mod is likely a header and then just continuing to save up for the motor build down the road.

Update:

I was going to pick up an authentic J's Racing valvecover today but instead of spending money on some bling factor part I decided to do some needed maintenance.

First on my list was to fix the oil dipstick tube, which was loose and vibrating against the header heat shield. The O-ring had gone bad. Acura wouldn't sell me a gasket because they said there was no such part. I purchased a new dipstick tube hoping a gasket would be included. That was not the case. Today I finally got the time to head over to my friend's shop where we pulled the heatshield for the header, removed the tube, and placed RVT sealant around the base of the pipe. There is now no "play" in the tube itself and it's as good as it was when I got the car.

Second on my list is to do a full induction and fuel system cleaning to remove built up carbon deposits. Having a white car the first thing I notice within a few days of a car wash is a layer of black soot all over the back of the car. At first I suspected the piston rings to be bad and thought I was burning oil. But upon further investigation the "black dust" was not slimy and oily it was fine and powdery. The soot is from carbon build up in my engine, and possibly a fouled spark plug. Along with the induction and fuel system cleaning I will also be replacing the spark plugs with NGK platinum plugs. And a oil change, with Royal Purple and Nippon oil filter.

Lastly I need to adjust the coilovers to get the front and rear raised. I plan to go 1/4 inch higher in the front, and 1/2 an inch higher in the rear. After that is done I can head off to get my alignment done.

Plans for Tomorrow:

Induction and Fuel System Cleaning

Oil Change

Spark plugs

Wash & Wax
