i'll start if off

this guy i know (not a friend i just Know Him) got the Bright idea to put a DOHC ZC (D16A1) in a 91 Hatch.i talked to him here and there and he got it all in a "wired up" but it wouldn't Start. first thing was he used the pin out from a OBD1 harness on a OBD0 car then he hooked the coil directly to the battery Backwards (coil neg to Batt Pos and coild Pos to Batt Neg) LOL. so i said i would look at it. first off looked like 4 6 Year olds and played with Ducktape and Phone wire under the hood. i spent all day running new wire put in a New disty and som othe sensors he had run to the batteries Pos and got it to run. (had cels but it ran) so i told him to get the harness from http://WWW.RYWIRE.COM. and i pulled All the wires from under the Hood OUT. 3 weeks later he got the harness back fro Rywire. hooked it up and pluged in the PG7 ECU i found for himand perfection NO CEL's runs great i drove it around the block all is well. the next day he calls me and tells me it's throwing a cel can i help i go over there and he's cut out some of the harness to put in a radio and Tach. i fix it and tell him if he cut it again i'll cut all the wires into 1" chunks and tell him to deal with it. Later that night i get a call it's him yelling at me that i the car is too fast and he just got aressted for doing 134 in a school zone and it's my fault i didn't warn him the car would be fast and i had to go bail him out and pay to get his car out of impound. to witch i told him NOT MY PROBLEM!! "CLICK"


so what did we learn Rywire makes Motor and or ECU swaps EZ as Hell
And there needs to be a Minimum IQ to get a DL
And an even Higher ONe to Owen or Drive a Honda

haha...its like buying a Ferrai and sueing Ferrai for your tickets. I just dont get how ignorant some people are. My god, think a little damn it.

My Uncle in law throws in a jdmb16 in his eg and forgets to bolt up the axle bolt. Next thing you know the axle comes off and tears the **** out of his fender well and side skirts.
