Wow...a Honda engine in something IT BELONGS IN. tongue.gif
Honda engines have their place only in lawnmowers, leaf blowers, air compressor units, A/C unit, etc...anywhere but a car. wink1.gif

well i took 3rd place at the races today, people really liked the underbody neons, gauge pod, ricer hood lights, and of course turbo. i ran 3 races, and wasnt able to finish the last race, but still took 3rd of the night. and it was my first time ever doing it so im quite happy, plus i was still on stock gearing. i took a few more pics also.
on the 2nd to last lap of the third race i kinda broke down, i re-used the stock mount to the stock manifold, and never thought about re-inforcing that one area, well the added weight of the turbo finished that off, turbo came un-hooked, and hit the wheel, no real damage, just the oil return line came loose and dumped oil everywhere. since this is a once a year thing, ill just re-do it for next year, plus im going to use a different turbo set up, and probably intercooler.
