SHG_Mike's Picture Thread

Thats about it, I have just recently moved to RI and its winter so updates may be a little slow but there she is as of right now:wavey:

Phew. Your car has gone through a lot of goods. Looks awesome though. :popc:

how do you liek the intake manifold

wow very nice updates..waht diff did the intake custom one make ?
'

Looks awesome. Did you try fitting the Insight rear drums yet?

I love it, it made a nice difference throughout the powerband, especially up top. It really wants to rev now.

Insight drums will be coming in the spring along with another honda hybrid setup in the front:vtec:

You should have more intake manis made. Looks 250 times better than that WR street sign manifold.
Lovin your car. Always have; its the K1s. :p

i saw that manifold and almost got it. dam it looks good. but i see some places where SHG_Allmotordan's buddy could improve his welding.
+ rep to nice thread.

Very nice.

nice detailed transformation, your car looks great!

Nice write up there Mike! Props to you for the fabricating of the air box and your buddy for the intake. Oh yeah, the K1's look great, I've thought about another set;)

wow... that is a bad ass Fit

Thanks i agree with the K1's i almost got rid of them but i came to my senses :p .Ill talk to him about the mani's, Ive actually had a bunch of interest in it, even though he had a hard time selling this one

Yea its not perfect but it gets the job done, performs well sounds great, got it for a steal of a price to i cant complain



thanks, im glad i jumped on these from you when i did...

I am looking for a 16" set though so if anyone knows of a set for sale let me know!

So thats why you got rid of the T1Rs lol.
Looks great man. Love your car.

i really like the custom intake/mani

Awesome photo trail. Love everybit of it. Needs a spoon antenna though. haha. Is it just me but your sterring wheels looks like really flat compared to mine.(it really may just be me)

what u use (holder) for your licence plate???

Damn fine trail you made there with some eye-popin' mods...:popc:

Freakin' beautiful.

How do you like the Mugen suspension? Perfect fit?

ha yeap, thanks

Just picked up a perrin 2"

A bracket I made


I LOVE it, fitment wise you need to drill out the holes in the front but other then that its fine. I prefer these to the t1r coilovers that i had hands down
