sorry to hear about all the tough times u've been going thru and happy to see ur car's finally running. i can relate to the comment i quoted from u... my car and this hobby is what keeps me "sober" in life at times. right now i'm kinda depressed because my cam gear broke and i had to build the head, then while the car was parked theives broke into it and stole my hondata, p28, conversion harness, cf hood, gauges, and radio. bummed me out big time. anyway good luck to you. hope u get everything set up straight

dude that sucks

theives did the same thing to me....while i was installing the motor...but the motor guy got valves that were too tall(how i dont know) so i had to get new valves from ferrea and get a new valve job....so in the mean time my car at the shop theives broke in, took the stereo and jdm steering wheell......bastards

theives suck, half as parts suck

trust me when you get you head back, you dial in your car how you want it...it will feel that much MORE because of all the things you had to go threw...

thats what makes it our life.
