I can find the GD ones all day, it's weird... I guess I'll just drop a thread in on the 2nd Gen folks and see who has what flywheel...
Many years ago, I did a lot of engine mods to an MG sports car. One change was lightening the flywheel. I found a diagram showing how much to cut and where. I brought it to a machine shop and got a lighter flywheel back. The trick is finding out how to cut is safely.

Today I did the last fitment test before fabricating the spacer to ba able to use several other DBW TB's 😇 the aluminum final one, should be done anytime this week...

In this pic im testing the one for the S2K TB... but I also will test one for the CR-V TB...

BTW yes I know it might look a bit "ugly" or unfinished, but it is a FITMENT TEST piece,... the final product will be made out of aluminum and way better looking so don't go making it a big deal cuz it's not pretty😬



Any info or detail... send me a PM! And i will gladly answer 😁

Do you run aftermarket seat rail or use OEM seat rail?

Any difference without a tune?

Also Elpapas, love that OEM style look with the bucket seat, and no giant SPARCO written across the top. Must have been expensive to have all the fabric replaced. Looks more comfortable, I wish the stock seats had more padding under my knees for longer drives. Stock seats makes me feel like my butts in the seat but my legs are kinda floating, and these seats look like they’d fix that. Just cant afford aftermarket seats at the moment lol

you probably get knock off if you still want the 2 to 3 hundred buck eBay the only reason why I did it was because this seat were in my cb7 accord and I had to sell it so i had them re done

So you're going from round whatever size down to the oval of the plastic intake manifold? I just hand ported the intake side of my TB... do you really think our throttle body is the weak link of air flow? I think it's fine for the small neck of the intake...

Well I think its part of the problem... as you can see the bottleneck part, I removed and replaced with the silicone elbows hence eliminating that part...also... and although the response might change since it will have a larger TB I do believe it will improve since I also made some mods to the oem airbox... we'll see how it works out...

You might be right about that Z, the thread on the intake porting here (2nd edit: Just realized it’s your thread lol!) got some nice photos of what it looks like behind the TB, and that massive restriction from the EGR looks like it bottlenecks anyways.

Interested to see results, maybe make a new thread about this mod and what comes of it?

The instructions requires that you rip off the OEM cover. I ended up covering over it and gluing the edges of this to the OEM cover.

I like those seat heater switches. I put the Dormann seat heaters in my Fits, but I think the Honda switches cost more than the heaters.
