    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    yeah, forgot about that. I think it will fit with just a cut and shorten, easier than making the whole thing.

    depends on how you look at it... If there is no rev limiter or it is high, higher compression CAN extend the powerband of the engine, allowing for more RPMs, allowing for more MPH, but it would depend on the context of your conversation and vehicle at hand.

The rear lower controll arm bolts that connect to the rear shocks will snap more often then not. Air tools would be a huge help too. Just take it to a pro:)

    Sounds good. I may put it in tomorrow out at my bro's in Enderlin, then test it out on the drive back on monday. Oh yeah, the guys over on my Bonnie site said that I probably wouldn't need it, but it would help to get it done anyways just to make everything match up perfectly.

    Why is everyone crawling up GhettoFab's ass? Seriously, are you people even reading his posts or just arguing for the sake of arguing. PS, there was a MINT '91 Z32 that sold out of Fargo a little over a year ago. Veilside body kit, Volks, fresh paint, HKS exhaust, Tein Flex w/edfc, HIDs, JL system. It was sooo sexy.

    yeah, I guess they are going at somewhat of a premium then, like 50-100 (no kidding 100) plus shipping. does anyone know if a 91 civic lx cluster will work plug and play? im sick of wiring for a week or two.

    I acutally got everything done! the main problem was that the manifold I got with the car to do the swap was from a CRX Hf and was just not going to work (not to mention sucks for power). So i ditched that for a proper Si setup and everything went on like buttah. Im waiting for the washers and seals and shit for the fuel rail and then I'mma fire this bad boy up.
