England: Reinventing the automatic transmission.
England: Hate automatics so much that they would rather do this than buy an automatic.
But seriously though, the only use for this that I can see besides a hanicapped person's vehicle is to use to hold the clutch down on the line at a drag strip so you can have one foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator, like a redneck transbrake.

Guess I'm thankful that I have never been in a vehicle where it didnt have a scraper/brush combo in the trunk/backseat. I dont see how your card could scratch the glass... Is that plastic more hard than the glass?

I had to use my temp license plate earlier this year. Although I have used my card too, but it never left scratches.
I love freezing rain...

I broke my ice scraper trying to get rid of this, and it took at least 20 minutes before I could drive anywhere.
Just walking to the car I tripped and slid under the car.
And the traffic was slow with some idiots lying in ditches, and I would easily spin out in fourth gear..
I've even taken a day off today because fuck doing that shit twice today. I barely got to my car.

Wait how did you scratch the shit out of your windshield with a debit card. At the shop I used to work at, we used steel wool and razorblades to clean windshields....without scratching them....
[QUOTE=facepuke;49337454]It honestly just depends on your end goal. If you want to stick stock bottom end I'd go 55's. They'll spool a lot faster obviously.[/QUOTE]
My only reason I'm leaning towards the 62's is because I don't know how the 55's are going to act in the upper RPM range.

That's true. I'll be honest if I was you I'd probably go 62's, I just had my first taste of boost and now I already want more. It's a very expensive addiction too!
Updates:
Left my cylinder heads off at the machine shop. Super nice lady at the counter. $200 for machining and valve job on an OHV V6. Not bad. Asked them if they could back cut the valves, they'd let me know when the main machinist is in.
Also, bought all LED replacements for the interior of my Daytona! Hell yeah!
Bought a new gauge face too, because the previous owner colored in the text with Crayon... As you can see in this video:
[video=youtube;Mb1mHzgJa1E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb1mHzgJa1E[/video]
Fixed the issue in the video, but.. That dash. Wtf.
Also bought LED amber bulbs for it too! So it will hopefully look something like this:

Your brake booster has a leak in the baffles. When your foot is off it's letting excess air in, boosting the RPMs like super slightly opening the throttle.
To test this, clamp off the line to the booster and do this again, just like in the vid.
The vibration is from bad front and rear engine mounts or badly made mounts. If the mounts are new poly mounts might help but could/can also send any engine vibration right into the whole car possibly making things a bit less comfortable.

I fixed the issue. It was a motor mount. I looked at the engine head on after making the video and realized it was about 20* further down than the other side. The bolt was finger tight for some reason. I corrected it and made it super snug. It does need a new motor mount, but it's definitely not moving right now.

LED Amber bulbs suck, I went for normal amber colored bulbs in both my cars. First is with LEDS, second is LED vs 198NA.

In retrospect I should have just painted all the backs of stuff where amber bulbs were not available or in the climate control. I went through hell trying to get all the right bulbs and removing the climate control in an Integra is one of the biggest pains in the ass to do.
So... I'm confused, the LED sucked or the color amber itself? I just got amber because it's the easiest color to see at night.

LEDs in the cluster sucked, hard. Amber incandescent 198NA's were far nicer and had the correct light output pattern. The LED's made my needles change color strangely, hotspots were very bad and light bled in all the places it shouldn't because the dot matrix wasn't suited for them. My cluster only has 3 198 bulbs to light the whole thing so it made it even worse. LED's also don't dim properly at all.
LEDs are really only useful in situations where you want the light to be either not get hot, be extremely bright(doesn't always happen) or to replace a bulb which is extremely expensive to replace normally. Otherwise, go for the cheap incandescents every time.
The LEDs look like theyre putting out more clean light then the standard bulbs. Not to mention it really depends on where you get them. Amazon/Ebay led bulbs tend to suck and are pretty close to home made type shit, that or china.
Not saying thats where you got them, just saying the source tends to matter as different places have different levels of quality control.
Every bulb I ever got from SBL has been great and even Autozone and O' Reilly's just got new Sylvania LED bulbs, albeit a smallish selection, the Zevos are killer bright and are built proper.

I bought them from SuperBrightLEDs, the color balance on that camera was really terrible. I compared both back to back multiple times and the normal bulbs just worked so much better in the cluster. I also had to send back the first set of bulbs since I bought the cheaper ones and they were hilariously dim shown sort of by the first picture. After I got the XHD or whatever bulbs to replace the neo3's that didn't fit in anything anyways and the neo4's which hardly illuminated everything is fine other than my hazard light which has since gone out.

4x NEO4-XP Amber (superbrightleds)
1x NEO3-XP Amber
The cluster was whatever was the widest angle 194 bulb on there, I think it was these.

Lerlth those things idle down in D/R just because being in gear puts a little extra load on the engine. It loses those 200 rpms into the torque converter trying to move the car. (Similar to when you start slipping the clutch in a manual, putting a little extra load on the engine, but it's a liquid coupling instead of a mechanical friction one.)

I can see the NEOs being WAY to weak to illuminate anything at a max of 10 lumens, and the 194 you chose is WAY over powered for what you'd need it for. That 5050SMD bulb is more for external car lighting then anything else, 75 lumen is overkill. A standard 194 bulb only puts out about 25 Lm.
As ugly as it looks, [URL="https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/wedge-bulbs/194-led-bulb-5-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/199/"]This one[/URL] would have been a better choice for your cluster where needed. With natural light at 26 Lm and cool & natural light at 30 Lm you'd be set.
Actually, I'm pretty sure I got those since I ordered "WLED-A5 Amber" at $2.99 each. I'm really not sure though since it was like 6 months ago at least. I remember doing a ton of research into what bulbs are good for what, ect. Then getting everything put together with my newly scratched up arms/hands and just thinking it was all shit since half of them didn't fit, the other half was far too dim and I didn't care for the cluster lights.
The Integra clusters are a terrible use for LEDs anyways since 3 very poorly spaced bulbs light the whole damn thing and it comes with dim spots from the factory. I was just trying to get across that in many situations an LED is not always better.
Walk out to head to work this morning and find that someone smashed into my car and left without leaving any information. Great....
