Yeah, but can it beat Rob's Buick? That's the real test.

first i was missing three inches from my valve cover seal and two of the (not sure if this is the right term) well gaskets?? (the seals that are around the spark plugs) were ripped so oil was spraying everywhere. got that fixed then left honda.

about 10 miles away we pull over to get gas and smoke is coming from under the hood and I pop it and coolant is shooting up fromt he engine bay. Basicaly I blew a hose and they had to overnight all the hoses and not all of them came in on saturday and i had to wait till monday.

of course they were suppose to have the intake manifold off by friday night and didnt and then on monday we had to bitch them out before they even got started working on it.

originally I was debating selling the S or not cause I really need the money but now that Ive replaced almost everything under the hood I figure wtf might as well keep it. Plus I won that shift boot and no Raul it didnt fit on the focus shifter.
