1) dcivicex = AJ
2) Exhaust/cat swap
3) Email - antoniojc75@yahoo.com
Rules
1) No messing around!! This is my house and my HOA has rules. I don't want to get in trouble. No burning out, no racing, no revving to 6k, etc.
2) We will have to move cars around by priority...Me and Justin will decide who goes when, based on how long we think it will take to get done.
3) You all are responsible for cleaning up and giving back tools you borrow. Any spilled fluids can be washed away, but every attempt should be made to keep everything clean. For those with oil, we will need containers so that you can take your oil to autozone/advanced autoparts/etc
4) Be nice and courteous to everyone!!
5) If you don't know what you are doing, ask questions to more experienced people, enough people will be there who definitely have been around the block on this stuff.
6) I am not responsible for bodily harm or damage to your car. This, like every other DIY meet, is at your own risk. Work done by others to your car is not covered by any warranty, express or implied, you are responsible for insuring that the parts work, and are installed correctly. You are responsible for insuring that your car is put back together properly and any critical torques are to spec.

There are BB courts, tennis courts, a pool (i dont know if it will be open yet), and a field all within walking distance of my house. Yay for suburbia!
There also is a Ledo Pizza across the street. Silver Spring is a little far (30-40 minutes). Ask him for some free pizza vouchers!! lol
We can reindex your springs. We can do almost anything, except motor swap...

Andy I was hoping the cam gear would help with my driveability. I have a stage 2 n/a cam like Oscar. Running emanage to tune but its shitty. Saving up for EMS or Hondata still up in the air but don' t have the money yet for either.

The gear isn't going to help with driveability. You should be able to get it running decent with emanage if that's what you have, where are your driveability problems?

Hesitation at partial throttle. Chatted with Paul and said hesitation is caused by lean conditions. I added fuel and its still bucking like its misfiring. It needs timing but I don't mess with that too much for fear with damaging something. Thats why I want to come down for you guys to look at it and give me some insights. The car drives fine when you're on the gas not just full throttle. Only when you're slightly on the gas like cruising at 25mph it does that. I've heard ppl tell me thats what cams do but I don't think so it should be smooth. And car cuts off at idle gonna try retarding a degree to see if that helps.
Also forgot to add even though it seems like its misfiring the wideband readings are still in spec. 14.1-15.2 range. The ecu doesn't like something but I can't pinpoint it.

Ignition timing is what you need to tweak, not cam timing. As far as idle, we can tweak that with the idle adjust screw, too easy.

I hope you are right man. I've been having this headache since November when I got this cam installed. Took it to the tuner and he gave me a horrid map which resulted in 107whp. Deleted everything and built my own street map with the wideband and now I can beat modded b18's. If I can just tweak this to run better I'll be happy and save up for turbo which I should have done all along.

If you want konis installed, Justin prefers that he has the struts and shocks early so he can modify them.
