I have a msd external coil and mod cap... it seems to do fine...

And tons of racers both drag and road, use stock honda ignitors and coils with no problems at all...

I went through a bunch of more steps trying to figure out what was up...

Long story short my buddies brother (they run a shop (their fathers shop previously)) and he suggested the cat... I had thought of that before and felt/smelled the exhaust before but it seemed ok...

Then he reved it while my hand was behind it... there was ZERO flow...

I pulled out the cat and 10min with an airhammer later... problem solved...

Car runs SICK SICK SICK again... I'm actually almost satisfied with how much power it has... I'm probobly going to end up turboing it this summer though anyway...

Gunna order new tires tonight... got a new air filter... and I'm gunna be ordering a WHOLE bunch of odds and ends from honda to tighten up the car...

Finish up the bushings, paint the header (or maybe not depending on how close I am to turboing it), put the prelude front brakes on... and It should be running pretty sick...

I'm also gunna try to get to english town NJ sometime soon to get an idea of what it runs...

Also gotta figure out what I'm gunna do about the hollowed cat... I'm gunna get a cat but I don't wanna keep buying 100 dollar aftermarket ones if they're gunna go bad...

I know there were periods of improper fueling there and everything... but I got that thing less than a year ago... which is EXACTLY how long NUMEROUS people told me it would last...

So I may have to eat a bullet and buy a stock cat... I can get them for shop cost... but that's probobly not cheap anyway.
