I have one or two older fan switches go back on me in the past, so it is very likely, unless the wiretuck is really a wirefck.
thank you, and a wire fck it is for sure, tomorrow i will take some pictures of some of the wiring i haven't got around to fixing yet so everyone can see, suffice it to say it is a bad deal, but its getting better every day

Launching is amazing Hardly any spinning off the antilag in first and it hooks all other gears. The car has yet to be corner balanced and aligned, but tracks straight as a arrow through all the gears.

:O

Let me know if you ever plan to run at Maple Grove, would love to see this in action

Side note- reading on the EF section on HT makes me think the EF's are doomed for failure, the stuff people post, the grammar, the meathooks...UGH. What the heck happened to the Honda crowed?

Thanks goodness for this thread!

finished my tunerview install...looks a lot better than before. was perfect except i tried to fix one part after it was fine and then oversprayed on some parts. then i made the mistake of using nail polish remover to try and get it off and it faded in some spots so i'm like whatever i didn't feel like shaving the vent control *****, so i glued them in place. overall, i'm just happy it looks better than the last one and mad at myself for messing it up

Sell that log and drop the money on your crx, focus you energy on getting her running.

90/91 hatch seat rails on the usdm cars have the safety belt buckle on them.

Versus the cdm cars which have the belts in the pillar location so the belt buckle is mounted to the floor.

That looks pretty mean!

Just wondering, you guys with Front mounts all ditch your bumper supports? I never went FMIC due to safety issues and removing the support. Figure thats the only thing that would save my *** in a accident

Nice blu. I also have power steering cooler/lines in the way....hmmm Not sure how I would be able to reroute that though. I have access to a FMIC locally, guy was going to use on a G2 Teg, but looking over it a few times I think I would need to gut the crap out of the front end, still unsure on this. I almost need a FMIC thats thin, as the one local is rather thick

then you'd want something like the mishimoto z-line intercooler which is 2.5" thick vs the 3.5" of the precision i have. you can get them for like $130 shipped on ebay

i made the mistake of buying an intercooler first w/o thinking about dimensions lol
