aluminum jacks and plastic rhino ramps, was able to get it up in the air w/ some 2x4s. Just fired it up quick to check for leaks, and I was getting a bunch of smoke from where the header meets the cylinder head. Didn't quite smell like exhaust, so I'm not sure if its just the coating or residue burning in
The smoke stopped pretty quickly, so I'm guessing it was just burnoff. Not quite sure if I'm hearing a whistle that would point to an exhaust leak, I'll have to take a look tomorrow
New cylinder head and doughnut gasket and a new gasket at the cat/exhaust point. Didn't wipe down the header, so it may have had some residue on it. Could have been the kroil I used on the bolts before removal as well. What has me concerned is that the HFC didn't fit very snugly between the header and exhaust. I had to tighten down the spring bolts so much the spring is completely collapsed against the exhaust. Means there may not be the proper flex in the joint. I'm going to try fitting the stock cat tomorrow, see if its the HFC that's too short or the header.

Lowering a car is a pita man. Toe for the front is way off and I can hear my front wheels screeching so loud when I drive. Might go to Hoover Wheel Alignment today since sears and firestone won't do it.
How low did you go? rsx's have a poor tie rod design, in that, if you go too low, you drastically change the angle of the tie rod, which equates to crappy drivability...
pm h2beg. Marty hooks it up on alignments. He works in chanhassen and the rack is flat. Gets super low cars on no prob. He has done alignments for me for 40 bucks +tax.
no tire boosted still faster Ask vang004 how much better boost is.
235 up front, 265 in the back don't worry your pretty little head about it lol. But I'm just so stuck on this 2 wheeled toy and putting silly2k on the back burner.
When I started Club RSX eleven years ago I never imagined it growing to the size it is now. I am truly grateful and appreciative to each and every member who has made clubrsx.com such a fantastic community for RSX enthusiasts. About a month ago Autoguide.com approached me about purchasing our family of message boards and after a lot of thought and contemplation I decided to make the right decision for Club RSX and the forums by allowing them to become part of the Autoguide.com family of automotive message boards.
Over the years it has become physically and mentally challenging for me to manage both the message boards and the parts business, this change will allow me to focus full time on the parts business and to be able to enjoy the forums again as an enthusiast. This was not an easy decision to make, but I truly believe it is the right decision for the message boards and for the parts business. I hope that this change is welcomed by all and that the family of message boards I created continue to be a force in the automotive message board industry and enjoyed for years to come. In addition, Dwayn from Autoguide.com will be joining the administration team, and is available to answer any questions you may have.
For those of you who have supported the Club RSX store, we want you to know that in about a week the Club RSX parts store will be rebranded as K Series Parts, and move to kseriesparts.com. This change signifies our desire for the store to expand its offerings, which will benefit our customers through better pricing, more inventory, and even better customer service. As a customer, your order history and current pending orders will still be available at kseriesparts.com, other than a new name, offering more parts, and bringing you a new look, you should recognize kseriesparts.com as the same store you have been doing business with for years. We thank you for your continued patronage and support.
Damn, not quite ready to go in. Car needs an oil change and the header and cat could use more miles of breakin
