I didn't get much done, i ended up taking an ambulance ride to the er Friday night/Saturday morning , couldn't catch my breath, they did absolutely nothing in six hours, actually dumped me in the waiting room, no blood work, no test to make sure I didn't have have pneumonia, not a thing. if I call an ambulance then I think something serious is going on, I thought I was having a heart attack and I nearly passed out on my floor, couldn't stand up, I was wanting to get those brackets done for the header, but I couldn't find a cutoff wheel, I was going to cut off a section of bed frame for angle, then take it up to work, and square it on the mill, and cut the two slots, I tried cutting it with a hacksaw, but I forgot that stuff is hardened , chewed up two blades and it still wouldn't cut. If I see one of those on the side of the road, I grab it, those old ones are made from some tough steel, makes all kinds of great brackets, the new ones are a soft iron, and angle iron at Home depot is now very expensive. one I mill two slots in it, blast off the paint, and have the ends squared, it can get clamped to the headers and hung on the factory bracket, then it gets marked, the headers come off, and it gets welded on as a permanent bracket

my mom went into the ER last saturday. they called the ambulance cause she couldnt move and she was having a hard time breathing, the dude that came to talk to her was being a little bitch. he was yelling at her to answer his question or else he cant help her.. im like dude she is ****ing having a hard time breathing you stupid ****! she ended up in the ER waiting room and she started feeling better so she just left, no test no nothing either.. hella useless.

if your going to be all motor than i would go with the b20vtec setup. i love'd my b20vtec setup. then i went turbo with that setup and i love it even more. i;ve had 4 different car with b20vtec and never had a problem with it. I would recommend it to anyone who considered doing it.

I am a noob but my first ride is a 94 honda prelude vtec (usdm) . . . . Dindnt care about imports till i was told i had a ready powerful ride. .Since i didnt know anything about replacing a water pump i took my baby to some ****** shop and they took out the crankshaft seal without me knowing. . and all oil came out . . and i ran it like that for a couple of days so know i came up with rebuilding my h22a1 usdm or getting a used h22 jdm. . .one last question will an h22a4 fit in a fourth generation?
