True, needs to go lower and get smaller wheels. Get some 15x7 or 8s. might help with the turbo that is coming!

It sucks having to take everything back out after just getting your car running agian, However If you need a new clutch I Highly Highly Recommend a XTD Stage3 Clutch, I heard only good things from them and it works amazingly. When I sprayed on my brand new OEM style replacement it sliped pretty bad, I never had any slipping on the XTD stage 3 clutch, I have heard of people with 500+ horses having no slip issues with them as well. Teal has one he also highly recommends them.

I hear you on those main fuel relays, I have one of the redesigns(in car atm) and 2 of the old designs, one of which is in a glove box incase i need one. For me they seamed to get hot and stop working, I swap it with the one in the glove box and it works for 4-6months and it stops again and or gives little fits, swap with the old one and it works just fine. I did that cycle for a while before picking up one of the redesigned ones from honda and it was worth every penny, have yet to have an issue with it.

Good luck

- Fri Jul 24, 2009 3:55 am #132885 yeah...the redesign they did for the 96-00 model years?

also, i took out my main relay, re soldered all the pin connections and my pump still didn't have power, i went to NAPA and got a new one, still no fire. so i jumped the pump to get home and then spent today searching for my electrical gremlin and came up with that *big ass harness plug behind the cruise control module by the hood release. there was continuity between the reverse side and the pump so i jumped it to the main relay in hopes that will hold for a few years

oh and i took this time to install my Walbro 255lph
so shocked it was made in the U.S.A.
