    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.

    my TXS BOV was a bolt on as well. Just had to shim the spring a bit, but other than that, very plug and play.

    I'll say this. If it's that rusty in the quarters, then what does it look like underneath? There's no way the undercarriage has been spared. And there is no easy way to fix that. I'd take a hard look at the rear suspension, brake lines, and suspension mounting points. Anyone that knows Hondas knows that they are notorious for rusting there first. Just my .02.

    I'd say leave them how they are but if you want to paint them, color match the lip to your car.

    An intake will help 10-15 hp over stock.. Fuck the drop in filter thats gay. If you over boost there is one of 3 problems Cut vac line to the wastegate, or hose off. Also could have the vac lines on wrong. ECU has been re-flashed by a retard.. Boost control is set up wrong or defulty Im pretty sure I could fix it but id have to charge you! My .02 O ya I dont work on cars.. good luck..

    Ok thanks, so the H series were in ludes and some JDM accords. I was just wondering because I found an engine that was out of one that was a 2.2l **** and they didnt know what series it was, and I didnt know which cars had the H's in them.

He's an old school VW racer so I don't think he'd suggest anyone bad. They did my Audi and I have no complaints, but I didn't ask for anything out of the ordinary. As a point in comparison, the tire place next to Kennedy Transmission on 13th Ave S is NOT where you should take your car. I had to show the damn tech how to adjust the camber on my audi.. he insisted it was non adjustable even after i showed him which nuts to loosen. You're talking about Tires Plus, don't deal with them (at least that shop, I have no problems with the one in Fergus Falls, Wes is a good guy) The one on 13th doesnt know shit and they're douchebags, trust me I worked there and told them to get fucked.

    Test the idle valve. The middle wire is power. The two outer wires are control circuits. Monitor the duty cycle for the idle valve. On the outside wires, it should be about a 60/ 40 split or half battery voltage on each of the outer pins. If it still hangs high, try supplying a ground to each of the outer pins on the valve. It should be able to drive the idle valve up and down. If not, the valve is bad or there is a voltage drop on the supply pin. Tech can also ohm out the valve by going from the common middle pin to the two outside ones. It should be the same on both pins.
