<![CDATA[NEXT PROBLEM: Alternator]]>MY civics alternator is not spinning, the belt just slips and burns. with a wrench I can turn the bolt that holds the pulley, and therefor the pulley, but it will take me forever to grind the rust off, I looked at taking the alterantor out, the bolt that holds the alternator to the bracket wont come out, and you cant remove the braket without removing the alternator . . . I now hate honda engine bays.

What are other options? could I spray something in there? Should I just go nuts with a cutoff wheel?

Anyone?

No, but a subaru, even an L is a much better platform to build from.

(this next bit excludes the s2k and NSX, also some of the higher end integras) anyone with the desire to have a truly trackable/dragable/race car will not buy a honda and buy something worth modding.
