im debating on whether i should go with the projectors from ebay or go with unorthodox crank pulley. im kinda confused about the pulley thing. ive searched around and some say its ok for the car and some say its bad for the car. i need to hear from someone that has a crank pulley and can tell me how its working so far.
and for the projectors, whoever has them is it worth getting?

what are you talking about projectors? get the unorthodox crank pulley. i like the unorodox underdrive pully kit. it weighs 12 ounces and is sweet.

because a lot of the time the stuff you buy on ebay is junk. so it might not look like it is, and in a lot of the cases it wont be, but when buying stuff like lights, they are often not sealed propperly, or have fitment issues or whatever, so they fog. plus projectors are notorious for fogging up, except for TYC, which are dot certified. but chances are you are not getting TYC projectors.

in any case, even if theyre the best projectors out there, its still a no-brainer choice if the other thing you are thinking of are pulleys. performance>looks.

thats probably a question someone else should answer. ive heard about unorthodox racing, so i suppose thats at least something. but im not knowledgeable enough to say if theyre the best or not. you might want to ask in the tech forum about that.

i just meant to say that, in my opinion, performance mods, if you can do them, are always better than appearance mods. you dont need to race or anything either, you just get a better responce from the engine and an overall more fun car to drive, regardless if you race or not. you know?

^ yea i feel on you on that. there is a guy in clubcivic.com that mentioned something like 03-05 civic's tranny and stuff was built better then the 01-02. is this true? he said the engine was built to have less problems with it or something.
