i also had my eyes set on this. i cringe when i found out the company behind it but my eyes light up when i hear about the price and the quality.

yes thats right, OBX ITBS. who would of thought? they have been in production for quite some time and i heard some really good things about them. they are using OEM Toyota AE111 TB's and they actually make the adaptor plate in house. they have been R&D. i guess they are modeled/copied from the toda ITBs. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2219288

sorry some of this was just taken from my build thread on my website, figure there was a few of you on here that seemed to like the project so i figured i would keep some of you updated.

the obx itb's from what ive been told by many people are the exact same as toda's, literally made in the same machine shop but a different brand name slapped on them', heard nothing but good things about them'

test fit the spacer today, great quality and fitment.
snapped a shot with my iphone. grainy 2.0mp cam, check.

there is a small mark on the cmc that im going to try and scrub off, came like that. not sure what its from, possibly something from the casting, might just need a good scrubbing. other then that. im happy with the setup. still need to order the lines.

i also start my new job tomorrow. super nervous yet pretty anxious. so money and updates will be limited until i get settled in with the new place.

so whats the spacer for exactly, just makes it sit out further or is it necessary for using it on anything other than an S2000

the rod is 1/2" to long and wont line up with the pin on the pedal. you can either put the spacer on or cut and re-tap the rod. i MIGHT cut and re-tap instead. got to see how it looks with the spacer, using the spacer might help me out with the banjo to bulkhead fitting i want to run on the firewall.
