    I also had to add s2000 rotors to fit the Js racing roll center adjusters. These rotors are the same as stock, except they sit 7mm further out. The rotors are DBA with stop tech street pads; the red box forgot the name. Also had to make custom spacers for the calipers and I run them with 12.9 strength bolts for added strength. Tires are Firestone Indy 500.
    Thanks for doing this build. I’m definitely gonna add the yonoka exhaust. Don’t know about the intake since cops harass the hell out of us Cali enthusiasts. I’ve already been asked to pop my hood despite being completely stock motor wise.

      They’re probably shipping their stuff to the US, and picking it up there 9/10 free shipping. I saw Dave there once lol right before the pandemic picking up goodies for their 2jz e46 m3.

    I bought a 2007 FA5 in 2011 fresh out of basic training with 70k miles for $15k. Today with around the same or even a little more mileage the price is exactly the same. It's got 205k on it now, but this past winter I pulled the engine out, bore/honed the block up to 86.5mm, put in forged JE pistons, Skunk2 Alpha forged rods, resurfaced/rebuilt the head with new valves, Manley dual valve springs, seals, plus replaced all of the engine seals and gaskets along with the timing/oil pump chains and tensioners. Got the Hasport motor mount set as the stock ones were pretty beat. Also replaced some other parts like the water pump, auto tensioner, a/c compressor and condenser. The K20z3 is a tank, it didn't necessarily need a full rebuild, but figured why not, especially wanted to beef it up to be able to handle a turbo. Taught myself how to do all of this and did everything by myself aside from the machining parts. Very rewarding experience and now I know how to fix everything with the car.
    In hindsight I should have just built this car out from the beginning instead of buying an FK8 Type R as the K20z3 is a much more potent engine than the K20C1 right out the gate, and wayyyy cheaper to build too. Plus the z3 is port injection so upgrading fueling is much easier and cheaper. Put the Hondata direct injection fuel system in the Type R and that was $3k for just a ~24% increase in fuel flow.

      How is gas mileage? I've got a Veloster N and my new job will have me driving 40 miles one way (which is nothing new to me), but I don't wanna put the miles on it. I've looked at 8th and 9th gen Si Civics to use as a daily as long as I can get over 30 mpg on the highway.

    • @scottyb226
      @scottyb226 Před 2 lety

      @@PacoRobbins so, if you're running typical all season treadwear tires you're looking at like 32-34 highway and 26 around town, assuming you drive calmly. I'm now running Michelin PS4S 225 widths on wider wheels and it's dropped my highway mileage by 2mpg now because they're obviously stickier. best highway MPG i ever saw was 34 at a 78mph cruise with the car fully loaded with people going up the east coast during an 11hr road trip.

      @@PacoRobbins awesome - but that's the key. they tend to be owned by a younger crowd that just rawdogs the hell out of them. you can avoid a number of issues buying from a knowledgeable or original owner regardless of mileage. def take your time on the hunt.
