Are these some of the differances of the two?
Title: Re: Profile: lavalleemike

Yeah. The intakes are different from the V6 AT and MT.

Post by: Mike on February 11, 2009, 07:55:17 PM
I actually didn't know that I knew that there were some differences in some part numbers but, i didn't realize the differances went that far!

^^^yeah I didn't know myself till last meet when Scott (Skizot- 04' Auto Silver V6 Coupe) asked me what "that thing" was next to my PS Pulley. Skippy stepped in and explained that it's the dual intake runner control solenoid. I didn't even know about it myself. I think there are a few brake and suspension parts that differ too

True, but I'll stick with the Honda original thinking. I don't think I've heard of major problems with any of the 4 cyl motors Honda has put out since the D series. Try saying that about your precious J. Ha!
