Definitely nothing is bent. We had it pretty close before, but nothing on the suspension is tightened up yet, and it worked it's way back out like that. It will go back for sure.

But yeah, I will be sticking with the NA-ness (lol) until I get the rest of the parts for the 6-speed swap and do it, and then save up some more and turbo it. Definitely next on the list though!

I HATE yellow.... but I LOVE it on this car! It looks so good with what you've done with the RMM wing. If the rims were a couple inches bigger diameter it would be jaw dropping IMO (even though it pretty much is now :p). You've done some amazing body work and it's really looking great, I can't wait to see more! This has me thinking I might actually want to start saving up for an MKIV in the near future....

I've been working Keylan pretty hard so he hasn't had too much time to work on his car. It's all part of my master plan to keep him from finishing it...............who wants to compete against a bright yellow MKIV for attention?

Yeah, all thanks to Jay, I haven't been able to make any more progress. But thanks to my ingeniousness, I have used reverse psychology to achieve my master plan. See, by working for Jay, he is actually funding the rest of my 6-speed swap and whatever else I need to get my car going. And when I get the car going, I will be able to sell the integra and use the money to turbo the car and be faster than him. So he's actually making my car faster than his by working me so much! BWAHAHHAHAHA!

Thanks again everyone for the props!!!!

2 words...............She runs!!!! Got a new ecu, cause apparently mine got screwed in the wreck, and put it in. Still nothing, but I was getting fire now. Sprayed some starting fluid in it and it wasn't hitting a lick. Very odd since I had just checked all the cylinders and they were all firing. That means only 1 thing. Timing. And bingo! The distributor was 180 out. She fires right up and purs like a kitten. And thats no lie, idle is amazing. Put all the fluids in it and took her down the road about a mile and back. Drove really really well. I was too busy listening for noises and stuff to see if it pulled or anything and it was getting dark so we came back home. So I will check the pulling and stuff next time I take her out. I need to adjust the shift cable cause it's a little off on the shifter, and its got some CEL's from where I removed all the EGR and crap. So gotta run to radio shack and get some resistors. And that MAF is throwing it off cause it's running really rich and likes to sputter at some throttle positions. Also some year old or more gas in it. BUT, it's definitely still drivable!!! Just gotta get here all loosened back up and stuff and get some good gas circulating through her. Man it was beautiful!!!

Come on Ken, don't call him a rockstar..............I've got to work with him..........:biglaugh:

Congrats Keylan. If I'd known it was running, I'd came over and tore the transmission up for you........:evil2:
