good start, only thing i can say is loose the wheels, the et is to much for that car, i drive a vw and thats even to much et for us guys, what are they 0et? also you might wanna ditch that mani and go with cast iron or if u have a welder make some supports on it, like i told someone else its gonna crack those manis are cheap, thats alot of weight for it to hold, what are you gonna be using for tuning and fuel?

also, you might wanna take that bov apart and take the smaller spring out they have too, and oil the shaft up, i am using one of those, and the vacuum would not pull it open, i took it apart and did what i said and its working, i am gonna be changing it soon though to a diverter valve cause i have to reroute my bov back into the intake since i have mass air

theres a place in hayward, ca where they tune pure hondas yay! and there going to do it on crome, but i want s200 but its too damn expensive. i know that manifold is weak. im going to take it to a welder for some hardcore braces.... you dont know if he welds little dimples everywhere will make it stronger or weaker? like weld beads. dude but the wheels catch really good, i can launch of 4k and it will grip. i out-launch a lot of hondas but then there vtec cracks on me and waw!

thanks for the input. there is a welding class at my community college, and its supposed to be one of the best. all new stuff and great techers, ill probably take it over the summer. my brother welds also. but those welding machines are pricey...im being funded my financial aid....heheheee....but so far ive only spent around 600...and the car was free. long story.
