This car has come a long way and I am focusing 100% on suspension & chassis right now. I will be fabb'n up an 8 pt. roll cage within the next month or two. I will arrange a writeup on the install and fabrication. Any ideas for suspension?!?

The gauges are visually pleasing. They work very well. Installation is simple, but tedious. If you can get them for cheap, go ahead. Just remember to take out or change the needle bulbs...

Not sure. The car is running great! And it has new bearings and all gaskets have been replaced. The MAP sensor had dirt/carbon buildup in the vacuum line... New vacuum lines and everything's peachy. I'm really not sure about selling it yet.

There is no replacement for displacement... but dicking with the bottom end of a Honda is not very productive. Put your energy into the head, that is where power is made.

...Dicking with the vacuum lines is not how you adjust ignition timing. That requires loosening the three bolts that hold the distributor and twisting on it.

It's been a long time since my last post. The HF w/ the SI motor has been torn down and sent to the Junkyard. I have a new project now... Or 2... Posting pics later.

I have been hacking on this SI for about a month. Swapped the D15a3 into this shell. The shell came with a blown motor, which was discarded. I have installed the integra torsion bars in the front, and dodge stratus 6 cyl springs in the rear. The integra sway bar has been installed in the front.

I also used the old HF gas tank and retrofitted it with the SI pickup and installed a new fuel pump. The integra rear axle with disc brakes and sway bar has also been installed.

In the upcoming weeks the '89 d16a1 will be swapped into this car so I can take the d15a3 out and put it in an '85 for a DD.

I have shown a lot more initiative on this car and I am just glad to finally have a shell without any rust!

The KAKAbox has been a big inspiration, I have quietly kept a watch on the build...

I hope for some helpful critism!
