Re: help making 215-230 hp
I had a guy with a 93 Accord coupe with intake and exhaust who asked what I had done to my wagon because he couldn't keep up (I was just driving normally and didn't realize he was even there). I was running a turbo block as N/A then, so it's essentially a lower compression N/A with slightly worse cam timing. He looked crestfallen. Even one of those ~2000 Si hatches with an advertised 160 hp could only pull away from the stock N/A engine after 85 and I would kill the thing off the line. These engines are more like pushrod V8s than typical I4s in that they make a good lump of power at the bottom (and die at the top end).
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

Good. Destroy all those damn ricers lol. Not all civics are ricers but you know. One of them got the best of me when my engine blew. Well sort of. I beat him and then it blew so at least I had my pride but it was still embarrassing.
