Oh...I type something wrong guys....is d16y7 (non VTEC, civic EX engine) to d16y8 (VTEC 99 civic Si engine)....not D18..there is no such engine by the way...ha ha ha
I just want to sawp a MT tranny at first...but the guy told me hey...do you want a better engine for your car? it just like few hundard  bucks more..and if you just sawp the tranny, you have to buy so many parts seperatly...so...the best way is just swap the Y7 to the Y8.....and also, the one they've got is pretty new and good codition d16y8..so, I swapped that...no perticular reasons that I WANT to go for the Y8...I rather go for the B16A2 (99-00 SiR engine)...the bottom line is...i want MT rather then AT....

And ya..mine is just a K&N stock replacment.. I also notice that if i use a short RAM, it has actually slowed my car at low RPM..since i'm having just a SHOC.

My CAT and header is the oem parts from that D16Y8...and custom cat back...I like that car's respons now...at least good enough for street.  I think it is pretty fast as a 4 door civic...those K20 swap and B18 or B16 or Turbo civic do not count...

ACT clutch is $$$, i'm thinking aobut Compititon Clutch...

wow... 字典仔...your car seems have a lot of mod too...

I do have rear camber kit...forgot to put it on the list.. it's the Blox one, now running on -1.5 degree, toe 0 degree. Feel good when cornering.
For the offset, my wheels are +45, 15x6.5, but can't run 205/50/15 tires...rubbed badly..now it's running on 195/50/15. very nice...planning to run the Yokohama S.Drive when this set is finished.

My custom catback is 2.25.  I know that's the right size for just a N/A....
ppl keep saying that if your sway is ticker then 13mm / 14mm, you must had a sub frame reinforcement (like ASR). you don't afraid of the sub frame will be cracked if you are using 19" ?

I don't know if my car going too low..but I think it is ok...not "ricely" low i guess (could you tell from my little profile pic?)...ha ha..but when I was running the RT-615...it just rubs..but for the D motor, 205 tires maybe a bit too big and too sticky for it...the car launch pretty slow, and now the the 195 tires which responds pretty good  .

by the way, what do you drive,字典仔 ?

seems only me and you talking in this topic now..ha ha ha
