It's a sticky...we might as well use it  . The bad thing is most people skip right over the stickies so they don't always get the attention they deserve  .

KYB AGX's vs Koni yellows vs Tokico Illumina's
Ok i know alot of people on here just love the koni yellows and would die defending their honor. I just was pricing and and obviously the Koni's are the most then tokico then the KYB's. i saw in the part review one for the Illuminas but there was none for the yellow's or the KYB's. I was wondering if anyone had expirience with the AGX's primarily. since they are the least expensive of the three i was leaning toward them because i have heard good things from people about them, on eclipses mostly. Can someone give a relative comparison on the stiffness levels compared to either one of the tokico's or Koni's?

Sorry ...this doesnt answer your question at alll really...
But if you are doing suspension I would suggest omnipower full coilovers. There was a test (i'll try to find it somewhere) and they beat almost every suspension setup

i just don't feel right about paying 300 bucks for a name brand worthless hunk of aluminum.
There's nothing to a radiator. It's just an air to water core and some stupid end tanks.

I just bought an iceman CAI for 45 bucks. I've heard really good things about them and I can sell the fake j's for at least 50 to locals.
Just wondering if anyone has any has actually used an iceman intake......? Did i get mine for a good price? I bought it without the filter because the filter look fuxed (used). anyone know the filter diameter?

Perfect world I would get a 93 civic cx. Drop in a d15 vtec and bolt up a t3 turbo. I'd roll on black 16" Rota 8's. Top that with a gloss black paint, an OEM cf hood, and projector headlights!

 Installed my Iceman CAI.
Things i noticed after using the J's racing:
-lost throttle response
-seems to pull a little better throughout the whole powerband...especially noticeable around 4000-8000
-Actually sounds about as nice as the j's racing...the VTEC crossover is much more noticeable
-Car seems generally faster when the engine is really hot and i'm in stop and go traffic.
I think i'm going to stick with the iceman
---------------
And some pics of my next project.
