So yeah.. all comes down to my decision and what I want to do with it..

Rep Power: 0 I am slowly looking for a new headunit....
I don't want to spend to much (around 250$ if possible). I just want a MP3 player with a rca output...
Any suggestion? or deal? or somebody selling a used one?

About being a nice project.. but costly none the less if I choose to go that route. But anyways, just go look at your doors Hans to get a reference No suicide doors or anything. Just no keyholes in the latches - as I never use them anyways.
No, just repainting the same color - but basically needing to go to metal to fix up the dings/etc

Rep Power: 0 Hi gentlemen. Summer getting close! I wanted to let you know that I should have dyno #'s on my D17 real soon. NoRedline is now temed up with Synoptic Tuning, they have a brand new Dynapack dyno on site!
Dynapack is the dyno that hooks directy to the drive shafts with 2 pods, the best in the worl in terms of precision.
We ran the very first runs on the machine with my car on saturday. Beeing pretty precise there is a lot to learn on this dyno and were not able to configurate it quite correctly yet, never got decent numbers. 92whp and 438pnds. of torque.
Nick from Synoptic has it figured out now and I should take a few more runs to get the correct numbers. I'll keep you posted.
What is decent whp for a stock EX/SI?
I also bought me some nice lightweight 16'' wheels. Looking for 215/50-16 tires, what a crappy size to find but I really want it.
So far I found this that interests me.

Rep Power: 315 Yeah looks pimp. I've heard that the silver/chrome TYC's have extra glare. Plus with a carbon fiber hood they will look sick. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for them in CAD?

They say that a stock manual should be a 101 whp. You should have more... I hope!
And for the tire
I'll be runing on my first set of non-oem tire that are not made by motomaster this summer!!!

Hey guys, i would just like to congratulate redviking on his new (ish) prokit! They have finally made it to a good home. Secondly, i was just pondering the thought of how much would it cost (labour included), for a K20 (type S) engine swap? Seeing how i want to get a TSX, i also thought of the payments. I already have paid a pretty penny for my car already, and then to turn around and just dump it.........kinda sucks! So just weighing all my options. Thanks and let me know!

Rep Power: 0 Don't know how much it cost but one day, i'd really like to have the k20 with 160hp and the automatic 5 speed.... I would have a better throttle response on decarie while i sleep in traffic....

I know you could have it for cheaper, but what about a turbo? Looks nice and "affordable"

Rep Power: 0 I will finally have the coils!!! Don't have them in hands, but they are getting closer!!!
160Hp... a K20a3??? why do you want that??? If you do a swap do a real one... with 115 you want 160... with 160 you will regret not having 200!!! I must admit that the k20a3 must be cheaper to find. But go with something you'll like on the long run!
For turbo, Jamie went this way, maybe you can ask some advice and comment from him.
BTW, I went wash my car for the first time of the winter... WOW! I did not remember how beautiful is a EBP car when it's clean! I cannot believe also that I never cleaned it of the winter... I was riding a white/grey car!!! Now it's dark blue! I went to a local gaz station, for 15$ they hand clean the car and clean the interior also...

BALANCE IS POWER, you don't win race just in the straight line.... good cornering and braking give you victories over power...
