Didn't take a video. No video camera, and my iPhone 3g doesn't record.

1994 honda del sol si bought it from my boy for $700 had a engine and tranny both had 240,000 miles was a d16z6 but nothing was in the car. someone stole it from my boy and stripped alot off of it taillights and harness also broke a key off in the ignition bottem line it was alot of work. so i ran into a wreacked 97 ex coupe with a perfect y8 with 90k just beggin to be swapped so i sold the z6 bought the whole ex for $300 yea $300 and got to work everything is in my sol right now took a long time all i need is a z6 tranny line and its ready to go

thanks for the compliment. i was just stating a fact tho and why not use my own car from back then lol. compared to now, i feel i had a little "ricer" side to me back then lol i hope the integra wasn't that bad lol. thats one of the few cars i regret getting rid of.

all i was doing was stating an opinion towards certain modifications. but true, to each his own. i just like being the jerk in the conversation sometimes haha

where has everyone been? it's dead in here, I guess because it's a holiday weekend, i know around this neighborhood they celebrate easter and it's message of peace by shooting off guns,getting drunk and in fights, and blasting explicit rap. I hate my neighbors.

i might be able to dig up an obd2 alt plug for you. as for the smaller piping, i would say any exhaust shop should be able to help you out or at least point you in the right direction. or even look on ebay. you can find anything on ebay lol. when i get to the point of doing my exhaust, i honestly plan on looking for mandrel bends on ebay as i've heard they're a good bit cheaper on there

but yet its been done for years. this is originally a v8 thing and its slowly moving into the imports. i know supra guys run them all them all the time. if they dont have problems on high horse power v8's and supras, i doubt its gonna be a problem on a "lil ol honda"

and actually now that i think about it... i know i've seen some cars in the junk yards that use this setup from the factory. just wish i could remember what cars i've seen it on now

you can buy ones already made up for popular american cars, but they don't make one for an obscure unpopular year accord, that seamless aluminum tubing is a heck of a lot stronger then the rubber hose it replaces, you have a piece of rubber hose on each end to absorb vibration, they look killer polished up, I woul run AN but my radiator necks are plastic, this is an old well proven appearance mod. It's no different then the tube that runs across the back of my block to carry coolant from the water pump, and thats factory, i would bend it myself, but ehe manual bender we have won't quite handle tube that size
