In any event I'm sure you'll enjoy the ride instead of on blown shocks and springs 
Understand why it had to be done in that case. As for the rusting, I dunno - I guess I'm just overly worried about it ... but if its lifetime, so be it

AEM c.a.i., Solo short shifter and a couple other things. It's in the shop this winter, now installing a race seat, ACT stage 1 clutch kit w/ lightweight flywheel, custom header and complete exhaust and port & polish. My only goal is to have a quick n.a.

I'm an active member of Club Civic Québec and I hope you guyz will subscribe to our forum and become members, it's weeeel worth the 20$/year! Just our first outing to the racetrack in Tremblant last May was all worth the membership! We "paraded" (at 110-120 km/h...) behind the pace car for over 3 laps and got photoshooting time on the grid during the 6 hrs. of Tremblant (Rolex series, sedan gt...). We spent the entire day in the pits after the cops escorted us in the morning from Ste-Agathe to Tremblant (over 60 nice and clean civics in line). 
As I've stated before, I browse the forums just doing the above doesn't truly float my boat. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast with the Gen7 BBQ I went to in Oshawa (had ~20 7thgens) driving along invading the 401 and I know the get togethers are fun ... its just I know I'm an auto and I know I'm slow, so why bother thinking I'm not Also, such a bad plug for the site, not even the website link just messing though (as I know it )

WWW.CLUBCIVICQUEBEC.COM I actually don't know how much helmets go for, I have many friends that race that can lend me one when I'll go lapping. Here's a couple pics, one last May @ Tremblant, the other in drag racing trim and one @ SCP5 with a little extra...

Is your engine stock!!!!! Do you drag race often, hows your clutch holding up?
Cause thats a good time. I know someone with a short ram intake he did 16.7 lol.
Are the older SIR's fast? the 2000 coupe models.

I know your saying about stock clutch. You don't have to press the pedal all the way down to engage the clutch. You only have to press it a little, I think all the way down would be better.

Yeah its hard to syncshornize your foot with your hand. When you feel the gear stick slip into gear, but you let go of the clutch to late it slips. I'm shifitng better now but I still screw up.
Do you heel-toe downshift?
