well... dunno Kyle, odd he didnt call the cops and just get it cleared up once he recognized it (in the glovebox somehow, no less...) Basically, if i read the above correctly, he is proposing to send you something he broke & entered a Honda to steal. There is no mention of a number match...

I have the manifold set up to spray those connects, but I haven't yet cause I was gonna bypass as you mentioned above. But.... I can see why cold start would be unaffected as the engines gotta be running to generate heat for the coolant to carry elsewhere to warm things up, but does having...

I mentioned this in another thread and I have done a company and internet search with little to show for it ... I picked up a can of sherwin-williams Zinc-Clad cold galvanizing compound spray and was planning on coating the now mostly-rust-free somewhat pitted ends of me block heater and pump...

I have been playing with the idea of putting in a hood scoop when i do the turbo install myself. SOrta thinking of a cross between the original concept drawing and the newer celica hoodscoops and the stock look it currently has... (but square not round) - i need to whip up a 3d model of it to...
