Found a few things on ebay, need to know what u guys think.

Speed Chip

She increase your speed up to 20 hp, not bad for only 2 bucks.
This is a resistor that will plug into your AIT(air intake temp) sensor and modify your AIR/Fuel ratio and slightly change your engine timing to run stronger and with increased power. I dunno, 20hp for 2 bucks, sounds too good to be true.

Lowering Springs

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7914568730&category=33582

For $40 american, think there worth gettin?? Im not down with spending $400 - $600 on coil overs right now.

Clear corner lights

Ground Wiring Kit

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7914973063&category=6763&sspagename=WDVW

Its for the 4th, I cant see how it wouldnt work on a 3rd gen...

Speed Chip - Not even worth the time it took to look at it. Just a 25 cent resistor.

Lowering springs - you get what you pay for. Im guessing they'll ride REALLY rough due to high spring rate

Clear corner lights - never seen em before. look OK for clear corner lights. . . .

Ground wire kit - the only way i could see it not working is the length of the wires

That chip is complete crap. Those springs are pretty stiff, it'll give you a bouncy ride unless you get the correct shocks to counteract them. Im not a fan of the clear corner light, I perfer the JDM ones but thats just my personal preferance. That grounding kit is not a genuine Mugen part, I would not buy it out of respect for Honda. I would get another brand. Good luck with whatever you do.

the clear corners are kinda retarded IMO, but they'd look pretty sick if they were painted amber. JDM y0! :D

He also has a C/F Hood and I believe the erubuni Front bumper.

I thought there was a guy on vac that made the ground kits for us?

Ya, I think there is. Id like to see what it looks like, b4 would go call him, and have him come out to install it. Somebody I know has it, and just said the mugen one looks better.

ebay is the best place to find them, or this board.
I don't see why they would be illegal, you should check your local laws if you are skeptical.

Check your laws.
I have never had a problem, but in South Carolina anything goes.

Hey bc86
Those springs are nice. I bought a set bout a month ago, been riden em for bout 2 weeks and they're nice. They don't have a high spring rate at all and aren't very stiff.
Worth the money if you're lookin for a nice drop. :rockon:

hey bc86, that resistor not gonna work.

the ground wiring kit, it would be cheaper if you went to menard's or home depot.
but i had some 4 guage wiring laying around, and i did that, the resistance was pratically .01-.02 ohm's.
and the result's were a big difference, light did'nt dim when the system hit a bass note.
throttle was more responsive(the coil made it hella better).
idle was smoother to.

i say make your own and not buy that, you'll save yourself some money, and that's probably like a 8 or a 12 gause or something.
