also, looking at the FD2 shiftboot, and the strutking dead pedal. cost is 40ish and 40ish, respectively.
I still need to get springs and a camber kit at some point... not sure if I should save up and go for the HFP kit or maybe even the mugen kit, or just stick with plans to get the plain jane eibach springs + camber kit.
finally, I'm considering switching over to ENEOS oil and doing an oil analysis.

A member of 8th civic has started me wanting TSX cams, although they are going to be EXPENSIVE, it looks like. in the neighborhood of 700 or something (for the exhaust and intake cam gears).
I wish I knew how much those cams added.
14110-RBB-A00 CAMSHAFT, IN. 1 2006 TSX list 420.48 there price 336.38
14120-RBB-000 CAMSHAFT, EX. 1 2006 TSX list 439.13 there price 351.30

Still waiting on the Random Technologies catalytic converter, and thinking about switching from my K&N SRI to a Comptech Icebox (if they ever actually put it into production).
I changed my Manual Transmission fluid the other day- my car apparently uses a manual transmission fluid with a weight close to that of standard automotive oil- something along the lines of 10W-30 or 10W-40. I decided to change it after reading a bunch of things on 8thcivicforums, which has a wealth of information. I’m using a fully synthetic 5W-30 now made by Amsoil (synthetic synchromesh manual transmission fluid). When I got the fill hole off of the transmission, fluid GUSHED out. About half a quart! What’s ridiculous about that is that it shouldn’t gush out of the fill hole at ALL, that’s the hole that the transmission is FILLED from (hence the name).
Basically, somehow Honda managed to overfill the transmission.
The car shifts a little better now- Tracy commented that it feels “looser,” and I agree that there is less resistance when putting it in gear. It is more smooth and liquid, almost.
I decided to compile a list of the things that I both currently have, and that I’m currently looking at. I want a lot- too much, in fact.
Things I have:
K&N SRI
R/T Cat (on the way, can’t wait to put it on!)
Tanabe Racing Medallion Touring exhaust
Not much, is it? Hopefully the addition of the Cat will tide me over for a while….
Things I’m looking at:
Hondata Heatshield Intake Manifold Gasket (IMG)
P2R (I think) Throttle Body gaskets
Comptech short shifter
Corsport shifter cable bushings
Hondata reflash
Comptech icebox
Unorthodox Racing pulley set
Tanabe underbrace
Tanabe springs?
