You mean the mounts on the DC2?

yea....ill put them in my swap.

Ah I see... I absolutely love the RT-615. I want to try out the Toyo R1R once I use them up.

Look into the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs.

It's for an H22.

Ok. Thanks Jason.

You had Nokya yellow high beams too? The 2.0 conversion is a maybe. Spoon high compression 2.0 stroker kit with forged pistons. Can you say 81x94?

I've heard good things about Bridgestone RE01R's from the local auto cross guys. But the RT-615's are real good and they keep getting cheaper.

Lol! It's cool. I hope you get another Integra man. Your DC2 was sexy time. And yes, I'm a Spoon whore. I'm not going to get the stroker kit, because the pistons shrank. Damn previous owner butt raped the B18C. It's cool. I'll just do some head work on my C1.

Yup. That's a good idea. Thanks Ricky.

I would've gotten the RE01-R, but they only come in 16" or higher.

Spoon parts are great but It would be better to bore your motor to 84mm instead of stroking it to 94mm. Your rod/stroke ratio will be compromised significantly doing that.

Thanks for the help Greg. I'll keep that in mind. Not getting the Spoon kit anymore. I'm glad though. I can save up for the JDM ITR front end conversion for the DC2 now.

Aww...Your not keeping the usdm front?

Spoon makes good products but they're slightly overrated. They have a philosophy of improving what is oem. I 'm pretty sure the crank they use for that kit is actually an H23 crank. Even their cams are regrinds. I understand that oem is great and they just improve on it but when it comes down to it you can forge a new part that is better than the oem one.

The DC2 actually already has a JDM ITR radiator support. So I'm just going to complete the process. I just like Spoon's philosophy of total balance.

 

[Aussie]

Look man, I like their philosophy too but that's just about every manufacturers philosophy. Spoon just uses it as an advertisement gimmick.

Put some BFG R1 or Hoosier R6's on that bitch when you're ready and call it a day

Haha! Yeah, I want to put some slicks on once I gain more experience at the track. I want to practice with S-tires first.

Driving home from the beach with the girlfriend and the DB8 got hit by a flying piece of a tire yesterday. Hit my right signal lens, popped it out and broke it from scrapping on the ground. I'll take a picture later today. I just taped up the ends so it doens't pop out anymore. Poor DB8... Ordered a Si-VTEC signal lenses.
