Ahh ELB. I had this few years ago. It had ksport coilovers, rear lcas, short shifter. 4-1 manifold, spoon n1 exhaust and an old school aftermarket intake manifold (can't remember name). Was on 50k something when I sold it. Was unfortunately a cat d a few years prior. But that didn't bother me as it drove fine and was only a temporary vtec fix. Did burn bit of oil though not at a alarming rate just more than normal. It did have lot more mods on it when I got it though such as wheels, carbon kelver seats and spoon braces and few other bits but I kept them for my next build. I sold it relatively stock HTH

Hi bud you okay ? Add me on Facebook ?! "Zaid Loonat"

Yeah I found out it was cat D when I got to signing the car over to my name, I was very happy with car and it didn't bother me lol
I was happier with this repaired Jordan than loads of the rust buckets out there

Surprisingly no rust on the car ? Same when u had it ?

Coilovers are now bilstein but unsure on more info. Just know they were worth £800 lol
Still has rear LCAs unsure of make
Short shifter yes
4-1 manifold yes I'll upload a picture ...
spoon n1 gone lol

From previous owner who gave it a full respray, he claimed Intake manifold is one from the U.S.A?
I've asked a few Honda heads and they said it's a basic one ?
But now u mention it, I'm sure there's more to it ... lol

It's on 75k now and still drives fine. Apart from speedo issue when mph counter drops to 0
And then I have no vtec. So got to wait about 5 mins and I'll be able to tec if I want Lol
Same before ? I believe it's the vss sensor

Nope. No oil issues

However I encountered radiator problems which I believed was head gasket or blown engine lmao
Turns out it was bottom hose of the rad not fitted properly and had a small leak

The inlet manifold is Aebs from the states, they are quite rare here in the uk. Quality good piece of kit, im running one too :)
 
Thanks for the reply !

News on the inlet sounds good ! Any gains from it ? Gonna do a search online !
I was about to get rid of it for a skunk2 inlet ? Should I leave it ?

I cant comment on gains as never dyno'd the car. I actually have a skunk2 and edelbrock sitting here too but ive never bothered changing over as the aebs does the job well. I may possibly do a back to back comparison if and when i get my car remapped.
If i was you keep it if you are happy with it.
 
Does inlet affect the crossover noise ? My crossovers bit quiet hehe
 
Thanks mate. Stock b16b, aebs inlet, stock tb, aem v2 long arm intake, tegiwa/toda header, straight through decatted buddyclub spec 2 exhaust (Coming off soon!)
