Last but not least the spare manifold Ive been working on. Thanks to Andre (gtimportfanatic) for hooking me up with a spare manifold!
What Ive done is shave the 2 fins off as well as some other little unnecessary bumps in the mold. Ive also tapped the stock brake booster breather port to 3/8 npt and installed an AN fitting setup.

Compared to my original completely stock manifold on the car now:

Manifold looks great!! Did you paint it after the shaving, or is it just polished? I only ask because I painted my manifold with really high temp paint, but the paint is now bubbled up from the heat of the radiator. Wanna sell your other manifold?
Thanks, yeah I painted it after shaving, I also painted the original and its been on there for 25k miles with no issues. I use duplicolor engine enamel on all my stuff it holds up great. The stock one will be on the car for a bit longer, and Andre has dibs since he gave me this one for free.
Nice website and photos btw!
Thanks for the help! I will have to try that paint. Well if that kid doesn't want it for some reason let me know. Do you live in R.I? I see your friends Mugen Si a lot. Thanks for checking out my site, and the compliments! :)
Will do! And yeah I live in RI, moving to Mass next month though. Ive never seen your car around where are you from?
I'm in Wakefield! I had a DD Accord for awhile, so I never used to drive the Si, but now the Civic is my daily. Do you the guys at Wicked Innovations?
Ah ok... Im not sure what wicked innovations is
Its a tuning shop near me, they are really into Honda's. Just saw that you worked at a shop, so I didnt know if you knew of them. Anyways they are having a huge car show in April, heres the link. http://www.hondasofnewengland.com/in...showtopic=8510
clean ride op
Wow, 245/40/17's!! I just got 235/40/17's and think they are massive. I'm surprised your putting those on a 7.5" rim. I was planning on mounting my 235's on a 7 inch rim but now I'm not sure after seeing them.
Edit: Now that I look at the Z1 specs, the 235's and 245's are almost identical.
235 = 8.5" tread width & 9.6" section width
245 = 8.5" tread width & 9.8" section width
