Rich and I decided on a super decent price for it when I picked it up so I just couldnt say no to buying it back....plus driving back and forth from work roughly 50 miles every day - the Honda to save gas compared to the gas guzzling V8 explorer ive been driving daily is going to be extremely cost effective.

At this point the only thing the car really needs is a gauge cluster, the horn wired up, and the exhaust leak fixed so that being said...if anyone has a cluster let me know. Should have some new pictures of it up in the very near future and let me know of any suggestions you guys may have!

Well after some TLC yesterday and fixing and cleaning up...the car is almost back to running good. I went through the car and pulled out tons of wiring for neons and other accessories that Richie had in there and cleaned it up real nice. Also dropped the entire turbo setup from the exhaust mani down and replaced all of the gaskets on everything with aluminum gaskets. Its amazing how much better the car runs...holding boost a lot tighter and nowhere near as loud as it was

Unfortunately, the one gasket i didnt replace that seems as if its not sealing right now is the oil return. Love having the pleasure of covering the entire bottom of the motor in oil because it spews out Guess I know what I will be doing Friday now.....
