nice, good to hear! thats kind of how it goes here in saskatchewan but with a few little differences. when a vehicle is in an accident, they asses the damages and if the damages are far beyond repair or depending on the age of the vehicle, they may choose also to write the vehicle off. if not, they will repair it and you pay the deductible on your insurance plan (i assume its the same over there). in any case that the vehicle is declared totaled, you do have the option to purchase it back and fix it. vehicle must be then inspected bla bla ba..... to get back to the point that it is safe for the roads. BUT, if the vehicle is totalled and gets into the accident, insurance will still cover it but will also take in consideration that it was a previous total loss vehicle and you will get a lot less for the vehicle. the awesome thing about insurance here in saskatchewan is that its run by the government. none of this all state, geico....... ect. modify your vehicle as much as you want, you dont have to report any upgrades to motor, suspension ect. if you do have the paper work for the upgrades (wheels, tires, engine rebuild...ect) the insurance will take that into consideration as to what they will pay you out if they write the vehicle off.

Anyone know of any autocross in the Northern Virginia area? Now that I have a motor that is as adequate as my suspension, I'd like to see what I can do in some good spirited competition.

If you know of anything, let me know.

IABs are working \m/

there seems to be an issue with the wires from the VTEC subharness not wanting to stay in their places. as, I threw a code 22 again today (the wire for the pressure switch came out of its place in the ECU) This is proving to be quite annoying.

all but the knock sensor have popped out at least once. getting annoying. while I was messing with that, I looked at A17. wire wasn't even snug. Was just kind of sitting there. plugged in. after I reset the ECU to clear the CEL for code 22 (pressure switch) I took it for a drive. when I went full throttle, 4400rpm, VTEC engages, at around 5700 (or so) my motor starts screaming at me as the IABs opened, and my B18C roared in all its glory for the first time since its swap *thumbs up* x1,482,101

Vibrant High Flow cat installed today. Just got the call from the shop that it's done.

Heading to pick it up shortly. No more restrictive stock catalytic converter creating a bottle-neck anymore. Nice free flowing header, into a high flow (yet functional) cat, into the sweet Greddy SP2 exhaust system.

Can't wait to hear it now. Will update. Might have some vids later. :)

Picked up. Sounds GREAT! no more rattle, no more leak. Sounds much quieter than it was (due to the slight exhaust leak at the cat) and it just sounds so smooth. The 4-1 header gives it a wonderful grumble at lower rpm cruising, and a blissful scream at wide open throttle.

Same. Can't wait for the meet. Now, to fix some of the cosmetic flaws on the outside and get it back to form :)

Anyone know where I can get a stencil for the "FN01R-C" logo? When I painted my 5Zigen wheels a few years back, the logo came off with the clear coat, and I want to put it back on. 5Zigen doesn't offer anything that will work, so I'm kinda screwed. If not a stencil, does anyone have a high res pic of the logo so I can get one made? I need the correct font and everything. I want to get my wheels looking better than ever.

Yeah, I found a few pics of the rims, but nothing with a close-up of the logo. If anyone on here has the OG version of the FN01R-C wheels (not the new "hot version" that came out a few years ago), please post a close up pic of the logo so I can print and make a stencil with.

I also repainted the plug wire cover with a nice metallic silver. it was looking kind of haggard, so I just made it look better than new.

Note the ITR chrome grommets around the valve cover :) :) :) :)
