sorry i didnt mean the valve cover, i meant the little cover that saids i-vtec on it. I was under the impression the type S is red and the k20a3 has it in black. My gf's base rsx, the vtec is in black.

his tuner probably went with a really aggressive tune to hit the 215whp hp number on the dyno at the cost of reliability.

i read most type S usually only hit 200-205whp with bolt ons and a kpro. The extra 10-15whp probably cost him his mpg and reliability.

Re: My new ride...

i hit like a 2x4 or something...might have been a brick...sucked...i got the wheels replaced but **** cost me $370 which i did not want to spend...it was some stupid debris on the 210

as for the EG i had yea it was a super aggressive tune but it was fast as ****...gas wasnt that bad if i babied it i would get around 28 mpg...but of course i have a heavy foot and the gear ratios because of the 13" wheels and tires didn't help...heh but i would woop the pants off of dc5s s2k, and others...
