well i pulled my Si, into the garage this weekend, and defiant and i got to work, we replaced the stock Si tranny and LSD, with an ITR tranny, and LSD, and i finally got my CTR pistons in, i have been waiting to get those in. so far the Si is running great, i hope it remains this way.

So how bout you put some Skunk2 stage 2 cams in with a skunk2 valvetrain, good intake header and exhaust and Hondata tuning and not only will life begin sooner than 5,700 but it won't end until 10,000. Wouldn't that be nice. It sure sounds really nice, my friends del sol vtec with the motor we built. He runs 12's all day long.

I don't know about Skunk2 valves, I personally would never buy them after seeing so many pictures of them breaking off and burning into the pistons.

Yeah, I've seen that picture too. I figure there are defects from every company sooner or later. I just figure there are a lot of race cars running them and other cars for that matter that have no problems, and I just hope that I have the same luck. No problems yet though. Yay!!!
