Weekend for a engine swap or rebuild seems like a great way to spend the weekend with the fam and the added benefit of a better running vehic is just a bonus. Gratz

Thanks for the comments everyone. Yea car is running like a champ! Need to get a new cold air intake the one i have is all ducktape and less pipe. Keeps comming off!

Yes it still sounds like a fart car Johnny! It shall always sound like that! Its stright piped!

I love this car. I have had MANY o cars in my young life but the Honda Bug shall never leave! This car is so responsive its unreal! Really a great car to drive.

The motor i pulled out im sending off to get sleeved and shaved for my ITR pistions. Gonna try for a 350WHP Self Built turbo set up. I have sourced a b16 vtec head and gonna go for LS/Vtec Turbo. Should prove interesting....

Thanks again for the comments....

When i get around to installing the turbo, I will run new pipe out the whole car and put a muffler on it. But not gonna waste money on an exhaust when its gonna change in a few months! :protest: :D

I dont mind it. It announces that i am coming at a high rate of speed.... People get out of the way and stuff. It to my advantage, really! :D

"It announces that i am coming at a high rate of speed.... People get out of the way and stuff."

I don't know, when I had my hot rod, I had people that would challenge me for road lane. They would walk out like I dare ya.... I would down shift into lower gear and rest my right foot on the floor before they would move. Same thing happened in the hood I was passing through one time on my motorcycle. I had drag pipes, the hood people was making a people chain across the road, Down shift, open throttle and they will open chain with about 1000 pounds of hot steel heading there way....... :D

I have mellowed out since then, I still don't like punks...... :roll:
