Toda headers? The best flowing with the exception of genuine Hytechs that you can buy.

kcuf that, J's will be fine. Trying to line up a Mugen intake off one of the NZH boys right now. It's a tossup between that or headers.

Headers. Or save your money for the new car.

Whats with the little tennis wristbands around the master cyls? Is that so you have no idea when the fluid has run out because a hose sprung a leak?

Naaw its incase the fluid boils on the brake MC and incase I spill fluid when topping them up. Not much chance of boiling the brake fluid as I have the larger 98 spec Calipers and Rotors on front, brakes dont heat up for 4 laps or so.

Should one ask the price of a set of Spoon covers for the brake master cylinder?

They're the cool thing to get but dont actually do anything on most cars. $70 later you are +1 on coolness points, but thats about it

Don't try and justify it! We all know they're there for JDM points!

Air intake? Don't bother, Phil had a Mugen one for about two months, could not feel any kind of difference whatsoever.
I think we both prefer standard intakes with Spoon filters. Cheaper too. Just not as cool looking.
Definitely spend the money on headers first.

I dont know whether to give you tihs or agree with you. I think you'll find that they serve a purpose on the majority of track raced Hondas. Because in the event the brake fluid does boil it doesnt end up all over my prissy intake and paint.

Neither of my intakes are made by Simota but the EF9 one is quite similar. The ITR has a custom made 3 inch CAI which extends to the bumper. Bit of a pain when I have to change the filter as the bumper needs to come off

I think AEM make one which extends into the front left corner of the bumper (looking from the front of the car), where the resonator used to live. V2 or something.
