It's too much. The wheels are 
Much less room for error tuning that, especially on a stock bottom end. At least with a b16 you have stock timing maps to go off of. Yeah, and I would have kept it yellow too

Re: My "minimalist" turbo crx
The wheels are 93 integra special edition OPTIONAL wheels, which means, I got one of the only sets around. But since you don't like them, here you go:
The car was painted before I purchased it. Unfortunately, the bay, hatch, and sunroof area are all still yellow. I was never a fan of painted moldings/trim myself, but I needed to get out of my auto 88 civic 4-door. All the parts swapped right on over. I did see it before it was painted I'm glad it was done.
I plan on getting a filter. I'd like this setup to last a while.
CSaddict welded the manifold. My buddy, Justin, welded on the suby 3-bolt flange that I purchased elsewhere.
Thanks for the kind words.

But, it'll be heatwrapped some weekend soon. I'm curious, why don't you make these ones any more? It seems to me to be much more efficient than a standard log... Cost?Thanks to Chris for the wheels, and also for introducing me to HMT, back in the day. Refurbished those valves for you today, let me know when you need them.
