Sorry; missed the post re the DC Sports manifold...

Well 1/ I got it at a good price; 2/ I've had DC Sports intakes before and NEVER had issues with them; 3/ Other manifolds over here in the UK are too expensive/overpriced and a custom one you're looking at £500 plus!

Hope that answers your query

Wow... Not posted on here for ages; just a few updates to be announced :tongue:

- Spare H22A5 bought and re-built after it got a good clean in the caustic soda bath!

- Re-bulit with: H22A7 (Honda Accord Type R) cams, cam gears, springs and retainers, H22A5 valves and valve guides. New valve oil seals and cam seals plus new HG and head bolts all from inlinefour.com Hell of a lot cheaper than OEM Honda here in the UK! Probably saved close to $200 and that's with shipping and import tax to the UK as well...

- Honda Accord Type R 300mm brake set-up (ATR calipers, carriers and 300mm bremtech slotted discs) fitted along with Ferodo DS2500 pads, HEL braided brake lines & ATF super blue brake fluid

- Brand new water pump, cam belt, tensioner and balancer belt fitted when the new head was installed

- Odyssey 25 small racing battery fitted with the custom Powrvamp Odyssey 25 battery cage (takes up so much less room in comparison to the OEM battery - big weight saving as well; approx 10kg!

Pictures:











Updates:

Rebuilt H22A5 with ATR cams & inernals fitted; new refurbed matt black rocker cover 8)



(I know the manifold needs a polish :P )

ATR brake set-up (ATR calipers/carriers, bremtech 300mm slotted discs & Ferodo DS2500 pads) sanded down with the dremmel and painted matt black:



Odyssey 25 battery fitted in Odyssey custom cage 8)



Pics of the ATR brake set-up fitted (ATR calipers & carriers, Bremtech 300mm slotted discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads, HEL braided lines, AFT blue brake fluid) 8)

Superb braking

Wow, never knew that the ATR came with dual pot calipers up front, I was looking for an OEM brake upgrade, might try to go for those now instead of the Si VTEC front. I'm guessing though that you have to upgrade to 300mm rotors for them to fit properly?

Yeah you'll need 300mm discs but the calipers & carriers are direct bolt on and they use the same pads as the Prelude

The NSX calipers will be a good upgrade as well but they're hard to come by AND expensive usually...
