1990 civic Si - period correct build, what parts?

[Stin1]

If I recall correctly this was the cheapest aftermarket manifold offered. They were pretty much junk.

That's a bummer and after a closer review you can see why that is.

Ill probably stick with a classic DC header then.

So I did a track day recently, and this might turn into a regular track build..... but I can still document. The car was so fun on track it had me thinking more of performance now. SO things like 15x8 TEs and close ratio gearsets seem more likely now. I am going to stay d16a6 tho. stay true to the si drivetrain.

I did one day at my local track, and after giving a bunch of rides to friends, I laid down a lap.

350mm momo monte carlo

Yesssssss!

I used to own a an '89 STD 4-speed. It was so much fun to drive. It was my daily with ice-cold AC during Tennessee summers, despite having close to 200k on the odometer. I sold it and that motor lived on for another two owners.
