That's gonna be difficult. Right now I'm working in the lab every day, and I'm really trying to fix it so Saturday I can go to the meet. Man this sucks. I don't know if I'll ever get a free weekend to drive up.

Is this something we can do at the meet this Saturday?

crap, so it's looking like an all-day thing. I found a shop here that's at the edge of town, but there's no way for me to leave the car there unless I can get a ride to school or something. It's a 30min drive. This is really frustrating having to work on weekends. And by the time I get off it's after 5pm and all the shops are closed. Sucks!

So anything I should know about how your install went? Maybe I can do it here at my appartment, lol. I doubt it. I have a feeling the head's gonna be sitting in my room for a while. And it's almost a 3 hour drive up to chicago one way. Then if I ever get it installed, I don't know how I'm ever gonna get the vafcII tuned.

to be honest its hard yes but the only hard part i found was the timing do not lose the spot make sure you mark the belt and cam gear
other than that everything else is easy maybe i can drive over there but 3 hour drive each way is too much for 150.00

I'm gonna try and get the shop here to do it. If not, would you be willing to drive here and do it for $200? It's gonna be in the parking lot at the apartment though. I checked the map and it's only about 2 hours each way. Maybe less if you drive fast.

And I won't be around to help most likely. So it's up to you.

damn i don't have a cam gear that sucked... but i love my Apexi World Sport cat-back because even when VTEC opens its still quiet. I need to invest in a header badly.. My team is going to have a dyno day in 2 weeks so expect my results then.

You mean no aftermarket cam gear? I thought stock would work fine. I'm getting a DC header, but it probably won't do much. I can't get the good ones or else it's gonna be hard to pass smog.
