    FINAL THOUGHT
    Just wanna say I've put enormous amount of money into my car as you can see not to mention actual cost of car and maintence I've had to do over the years and i dont plan to stop. Ever.
    Currently I am self sponsored and wouldn't mind having a helping hand.
    Would love to grace the cover of Honda Tuning magazine when my car is satisfactory.
    Thanks for reading.

    thanks buddy,
    the pics with the cf hood, lip, & wing im running 12mm spacers in the rear only. That was the largest i could find that was grade 8 stainless steel and didn't have other studs.
    in the pic in my garage im not using any spacers.

    Update!
    got tuned 185whp, 160lbs of torque!

    I've been waiting to pick up my Z1 head that has recently been port an polished with 3 angle valve job.
    also going to pick up an a2 or z3 oil pump kit for higher revvs. +arp head studs
    also gonna install my stock airbox with Hondata mod K&N filter & add a velocity stack to the bottom opening then wrap it with gold wrap for heat reduction.
    Maybe a Morroso baffled oil pan just for kicks depending on how good the new year or taxes treat me.
    Then off to Tony for install and tune.
    hoping to hit 215whp and 180lbs or torque
