Re: ((((((((----EG Hatch Thread----PT 2 )))))))))
My friend has that in BR I'll borrow it from him, but yeah I wanna see that, Planet Earth was awesome. Do you have any Toda? I keep telling myself someday on that, when my hatch can be a toy.
Hey question that isn't worth a thread: is replacing a mount simply jacking your engine up (w/ wood block) just enough to release the tension on the mounts? Then will the mount unbolt and come out easily? Driver side has a split bushing. It was from launching it at the track, only to run a 16.4. Intake exhaust I ran a 15.5, still slow in my bracket. I/H/E never ran at the track, it was faster, but sounded like crap because I think something's up with my head, maybe that's why it's so shiny. May just need new LMAs.

Yup, i'm still running my Toda parts (cams, springs, retainers, cam gears, tbelt, and flywheel). My Toda belt is shredded after 2 years of daily driving...yikes!
Yup, replacing that mount is easy and pretty much just like you described. Put a block of wood between your oil pan and floor jack before you start raising and lowering the engine. Maybe it's time to think about Hasport mounts?

Re: ((((((((----EG Hatch Thread----PT 2 )))))))))
Just wanted to share my experience with everyone today.
Had to reposition my crx for an engine swap in the garage...so I had to turn it around. So I had my cousin and myself push the crx out. We needed someone to steer and brake so we had my 4 year old daughter do those tasks.
Needless to say, pushing it out was easy, since there slight hill in front of my garage. So...pushing it UP the hill into the garage was hard. The two of us couldnt do it (we both weigh around 135 for fighting) so I had my trusty ol' civic hatch push it up the hill.
Gotta love the hatchie.

Ya I always found being at the highest weight allowed in your class gives you a strength advantage

Haha. I was a 95 lbs my freshman year of high school and 110 my sophomore year. I wrestled 103 both those years. I weighed 126 at the beginning of my junior year and tried to wrestle 112 but it was just too tuff to make weight twice a week so I moved up to 119 after christmas. I didn't wrestle my senior year but was about 135 lbs that year. I was like 145 when I got married seven years ago...now I'm up to 185. People don't believe me when I tell them I use to wrestle 103 lbs. Haha.

I don't trust my tach either, it's been up to 1000 rpm off before. Gets worse the higher you rev. I've only seen it cross 8k a couple of times, and I've hit the rev limiter plenty of times. Just doesn't add up.

The s2000 cluster in my car is a little slow. I've hit the limiter and wondered wtf? I checked my vafc and it logged 8200. It trips me out because i'm seeing like 7500 then i seen it bounce off the limiter.
