Item: ACURA INTEGRA 94-2001 DC2 STAINLESS HIGH FLOW TEST PIPE
Seller: DNA motoring
Price: $28 shipped

Pros: Its shiny.
Cons: For one, its a inch too short. Had to weld an extension on.
Two: The flanges dont even line up. Had to cut the pipe in half, rotate it, and weld on an extension.
Three: O2 bung is DIRECTLY on top of the pipe once you get it realigned. Your o2 sensor will not plug in, not enough clearance. You’ll have to get a angled o2 spacer to make it work.

Overall: Test pipes are pretty much all the same as long as they are stainless. Unless you want to modify this piece (Pun INTENDED) I wouldnt buy it

[QUOTE]Originally posted by echelonwarrior on Aug/14/10ill soon be looking into buying a ebay 3 pt strut bar there all over for only 50$ not bad ill write a review then

Seller: Speed Daddy Com

Maker: DNA Motoring

Price: $65 (included shipping)

Pros: Cheap, strong, very well constructed.

Cons: Forgot it was made out of aluminum, use decent size washers where you bolt it down or you will chew right through the mounts, like I almost did.

I got a new strut bar off of eBay. Most bars from eBay have a bunch of pivots and screws so they can be adjusted to fit several vehicles. This piece however is solid. It is a three point strut bar that I got from speed_daddy for $65. I am very pleased with the construction of this strut bar. It has a little gap between it and the firewall but that will be solve when I bolt it to the firewall. The only complaint I have is because of something I did. I forgot to put some washers on the strut mount nuts, I tightened down one of the nuts and over torqued it. The nut started to dig into the aluminum mount. Luckily I caught myself before I ruined my new strut bar. The very first thing I did when I got the bar home was paint it my special Rust-O-Leum Textured Metallic Black.

Item: TYPE-R SHORT SHIFTER & SHIFT KNOB & SHIFT BOOT COMBO
Seller: Miragepower2008
Price: Got mine for about 25 bucks SHIPPED. Haha.

Pros: Cheap!

Cons: Everything! Haha. This is actually my second knockoff short shifter from ebay. Dont ask why I went with the same one a second time. . . Anyways. My first one SNAPPED right inside the shift knob. It was still useable but the knob would just twirl around.

Well with the second one I decided to go with the combo package.

Lets start with the knob. I had it for about 3 weeks and it already started to fade. . . And I had to put plumbers tape around the threads of the shifter inorder for it to sit still.

The shift boot. The funniest thing ever! Haha. The material is alright, pretty durable. Stitching is alright as well, but what they dont tell you is that is says “Spoon racing” on it. . . . BACKWARDS. Hahaha. Super knockoff status.

The shifter itself is pretty good though. Other than the last one I had breaking. Theres a noticeable difference in the shifting.

Another thing I’ll add is that it comes with a nut to put on to hold the boot up to the knob. . .useless. The knob takes up all the threads leaving no room for the nut.

I have some ebay coils on my DA, the back rides perfect! Nice and smooth, has never bottomed out. Now the front is a little different haha it tries to kill me over the hard stuff and u can feel every pothole u go over. The handling is improved alot though, I have stock struts all around and that could be why the front is so stiff. With a new set of tockico’s for the front and with the top hats removed though, I’m sure you’d save a lot of money and have an almost equal ride then the more expensive stuff. Hope that helps

Can you post the link,pics,and seller if poseble?

I know on some coil over kits they give you a little rubber piece that goes on top of the spring an fits in the top hat if you have that it makes the car ride ruff an you fill everthing well mine did. So i took the rubber piece off (it was red) an it rode way way better hope this helps

I got mine from the junkyard, I was supposed to have the full Tockico suspension off a DA, but by the time I noticed I had ebays with stock struts, someone else bought them. smh…
Anyways, they look the same as the current coil sleeves ebay are still selling, here’s a pic of mine

Very interested in this 3 point, but I can’t find it on ebay. The only ones I see are for g3s or civics, like http://cgi.ebay.com/92-95-94-01-CIVIC-INTEGRA-3-POINTS-STRUT-TOWER-BAR-BLUE-/190514671238?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AIntegra&hash=item2c5b8f2e86

This is a long shot, but does this clear abs?

I found this,but IDK

You are shooting in the wrong direction, it will not fit and the posting specifically says, if you read 92 - 95 Civic or 94 - 01 Integra.

I know some of the older civics are the same size if I’m not mistaking? But i type in DA teg or 90/93 integra and the name of the bar and don’t get nothing. But if i put 3 point strut bar,they all come up for all types of models,so IDK. I tried contacting the user but he seems to be inactive.

try password jdm as a member on here left there car with them an they used it as a proto type to make 3 point bars with abs as I have seen the bar on his car hope this helps so I would call them

correct me if i am wrong about this, but i believe that if you order the EF style 3 point bar, it will not fit. i think the firewall is a little bit closer than the DA firewall.

You might be correct,but you also have to understand that they have much smaller engine that sit back farther as well,so it looks like the firewall is much closer then the DA.

anyone know of a good match size cat for a header for 2in outlet and exhaust with 2.25in in let and 4in tip?

i wanna get this exhaust http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130503439505&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT
and the header is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170622619746&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

i need a cat. i would just use the stock but the header is welded with the stock straight pipe. lol.
