It's really a huge pain in the ass.

Y u say that?


Just due to the extra wear it puts on the engine. It takes so much money to get all the parts together (engine internals, cooling system, etc). And once you get into those high horsepower numbers you start breaking other things on the car (axles, synchros, etc).

I will have to agree on turbo, pain in the ass urg!

Very nice hatch btw I love teal!!!!!

I have been living in Washington for a couple years now, and I still haven't made it down to Oregon. Once winter is over I want to make my way to some meets.

My intercooler has been squeaking with all this engine vibration, so I am going to try and rig something up later today to make it stop. While doing that, I'll try to take some good pics of the turbo setup and how the intercooler/ ducting sits behind the bumper.

I'm ready to have some meet-ups as well. Chrono used to text me about Olympia meets, but I don't know if those are still going on. I haven't been to any. I might go to Kent for a bit of racing, but I don't know how it's looking now-a-days. Hondatech regional page has good meet info sometimes.

I think they are building a fancy new track. People go to Kent to street race too though.

Here is a video of it. Kent gets a bad rap sometimes. I can't say that I really attend these things.
