i suggest pictures big enough to actually see, and possibly some tech? Make it a build thread and ask some questions!

from what i see... A little drop with an eibach pro-kit would make it look good and instead of buying all them gauges i would get an mpfi swap and a tach. Also, it looks like you tried fiberglassing those guages, from that little pic it looks a little rough. I would try to clean that up with some more fiberglassing and taking more time.

There is a pix thread and FAQ at the top of the EF main page. Read, post and enjoy.

If you post a new thread, you must have tech (per the rules). Hence the name, honda-tech.

It is either blowby due to poor piston ring/cylinder wall seal, or your valve seals need replacing... or both. When a car is going on 20 years old you run into this kind of stuff. Do a leakdown test to narrow down the problem.

BTW: mine does the same thing. It loses about a quart every 2000 miles.
