CRIMONE! That's one bad a$$ hyrdocarbon powered ground pounder!

Thanks for inflicting a serious case of hardware envy and a heightened sense of automotive inadequacy.

Must be nice to live in a state where the nazi tail pipe inspectors haven't infected government yet.

Very nice work!

LoL..... That's a very articulate way to put it!

Thanks!

I don't know what I would do if they were to start sniffing cars here. We only have to pass a visual. Fortunately there are a few licensed garages around that probably wouldn't notice the pre-cats being removed. They don't seem to care, as long as we have at least 1 cat in the exhaust. And there are a lot of them that are punched out...lol

Re: Headlight covers!

Thanks, it really gives it that JDM look...lol

For $60 it does change the look of the front end.


Appointment booked for timing belt and camshaft install this Thursday. I am in the midst of doing a bunch of home renos. So doing the install myself is not an option if I want it done any time soon. I'll run it with the cams for a while then work on maybe getting that intake setup installed later this summer.

60$ to do that???
It only took me a search on Amazon and 10 bucks to buy the tint and install.

Either way it looks clean!!!

The stuff I bought was pre-cut 12 mil poly-vinyl film. I did the headlights and both bottom lights. I am very satisfied with the quality of this product and the price that I paid. I knew that these would take a beating from all the highway driving that I do so the 12mil was the only way to go. Gotta pay to play! :wink:

Well the Ridgeline is down and out with a blown coolant pipe for this May 2-4 long weekend. The local Honda dealer didn't have the part in stock. So I ended up with one of these.....

Impressive for what it is, an ego boosting, cock enlarging waste of money. Glad I'm only paying $25/day for it while the Ridgeline is in the shop.

It's a rental. My dealership does not have 1 Ridgeline left on the lot. I told them I needed a truck for the weekend and this is what I got. A G2 would have been nice but to be honest, I have to pick up a load of manure tomorrow. I would rather fill this thing with shyte than a nice G2.

There you go Put 2 and 2 together and it'll make one big pile of doodo lol.

If someone ever finds a "HONDA DEALER" which rents "HONDA's", Fire Up the Bat Signal to let everyone know it exists...

 

[FauxTrk]

Do you have a driving/acceleration video of the exhaust?

 

[GhostYK1]

Driving exhaust video

Do you have a driving/acceleration video of the exhaust?

Not yet. I hope to have some next week after the camshaft install. :wink:

 

[GhostYK1]

Well, hard lesson learned. You should always verify the part numbers before committing to buying. The camshafts that I ended up purchasing were the 06-09 14100-RGL-A00 and 14200-RGL-A00. Even though the ones I distinctly remember being in my shopping cart were the 09-14 14100-RJE-A00 and 14200-RJE-A00. I have no idea how I ended up ordering from the 2008 parts page?????

Oh well, the brand new stage 2 Bisi cams that I have obviously don't fit my engine.

New cams on order.

 

[Carsmak]

That Sux, they wouldn't offer you a deal (xx% restocking fee)? Been there done that, maybe not to that $ amount, but close.

I've seen them, and would love to do something like that, but I probably have $1k in parts & accessories hidden in the garage now. Hiding the part, NBD, Hiding another $800, would be hard, But it's way beyond my skill set & who to hire?

 

[GhostYK1]

Ooops! Wrong cams....

Yeah I had them shipped straight from a Honda Dealer in NJ, to Bisimoto in Cali. It wasn't until after they had been sent out for grinding that I realized they were the wrong part number. Unfortunately, they won't take back a modified part! Imagine if they did, the next person who bought them would have a big surprise...lol

Not getting any bites on them yet ether. Not sure why, set of $1200 cams, $400 OEM cams + $800 level 2 grind. Am I asking too much for brand new parts or something? Oh well, they won't wear out sitting on the shelf in my garage. Who knows, I may pick up an old J series engine some day, build it up and drop it in a Civic. :grin:

How do you like the PCDs so far? I ordered them, just waiting for them to show up.

RV6 PCD pipes

They are great, no issues at all so far. Aside from the installation. She is a tight fit on the firewall side! :frown: There is no fuel smell or raspy exhaust notes that I can tell.

Mailbox put out today..... Real deal RJE J35Z5 camshafts w/stage 2 grind


by Chappy, on Flickr

Take 2 of my stage 2 cam upgrade to follow.


I know this is a bit of a stretch, but I'm wondering if any members have the stock 2012 J35Z5 RJE-A00 Cam Lobe heights as listed in the Honda Shop Manual? I am awaiting the delivery of my 09-12 shop manuals. Figured there might be someone out there with these specs that might share in the meantime.

 

[Bimmerman]

Any updates?

 

[GhostYK1]

I am probably going to be dropping the cams in sometime this fall. Working nights on a shutdown right now so no real time.

As far as the ITB's go. I am about 6-8 weeks on having the throttle bodies returned. Had them sent out to be machined for max diameter throttle plates. Then I will be waiting on a set of custom throttle shafts that I will have made to match the new throttle plates.

So probably won't be installing that til next summer.

As of right now I am rather enjoying it as she sits. Every time I stop at lights beside another truck they seem to want to give the throttle a quick shot. I ignore them until the light turns. I seem to be leaving a lot of the big ass V8 gas guzzlers sitting at the lights! I don't think many of them are smart enough to understand the benefits of AWD and how the power to weight ratio works.
