no, they just did the alignment. they had to take my aftermarket steering wheel off and put it on straighter so i guess that costed me $40 dollars more. i wouldnt be mad about it if the car wasnt pulling to the left. its like WTF. i guess its not that bad, i paid $100 for the rack to be put on, and $100 for the alignment. $200 bucks all together aint all that bad.

So does your car drive straight now? I'm confused.

The math does add up and they did not rip you off. $40 for steering wheel correction due to bad install (that is why they had to reclock it). $60 for alignment (which is cheaper than average). $100 for rack & pinion install, that's a deal, basically 1.5 hrs worth of labor charge. If they took longer than that, you got a deal.

Honestly, whoever installed your steering wheel is to blame for an extra $40 expense.

How everyone been lately? What's new?

I've just been busy with random crap and working on some cars, as usual. Thanksgiving holiday break coming and a lot of family events for the rest of the year for me.

What exhaust system was installed on Scott's? Was it that header, cat. converter and catback exhaust package?

What exhaust setup are you installing Nate?

i wanted to get a variety of opinions from other members on the forum also. experiences, opinions, suggestions, etc. i think the esp mount kit sounds like a good idea. i just wanted to get your .02 cents also because you give good advice and have plenty of experience in this area. thank you sir.

[HondaFan81]

Not to mention I have ESP motor mounts in my car, the 3 main ones. I have poly inserts on the front dogbone. Works fantastic.

They know even offer different powder coat colors, so you can get your favorite color....PINK!!

What motor you finalize on swapping in? You've changed your mind so many times, it's crazy. Also, I assume you sticking with auto tranny, what type? I definitely do NOT suggest you reinstalling your abused original F22ax auto tranny. God only knows that thing is crying mercy.

[HondaFan81]

Kevin, I suggest whatever auto tranny replacement you get, to use Honda ATF in it and change it every 20-25K miles with how you drive it.

Normal people only need to change it every 30K miles.

Anyone in need of IM gasket replacement or in that area with other work, get this. It is reuseable and provides cooler intake temps. A definite win-win.

I know some of you are diving into your motors somewhat, so consider.

what motor and tranny am i getting you ask? its a secret. mwahhahaha. you will see my friend. hint: non vtec dual cam- so that narrows it down, however, it might not be as obvious as you would think. the tranny will not be the f22a auto tranny, it will be auto though. and yes ill use honda ATF.

p.s. normal people drive too slow. lmao.

H23 or JDM F22B DOHC auto I'm thinking....wonder if they have different gearing and final drive. I'm not sure on the JDM F22B A/T stats.
