Sweet i'll put them a side for you dude, Yea Will be putting it in after I have some fun with my stuffed one. Has the box been rebuilt at some point in its life ? just wondering why it is all painted up grey. rb30e box will take a lot of abuse, But all give up at some point. Or the syncro's go making it hard to slam gears.

Wouldn't have a clue dude, All I got told was old skool honda crx, prob about 1988. I think they went a bit overboard with the red aye, Need some color to break it up. there's even red carpet on the glove box ffs.

Ok I need some help guys, My Vl has a miss @ 4000rpm, It happened one night well me and mates were doing burnouts. Checked the plugs and they all look sweet, leads are about 1000k's old same with dizzy cap & rotor. Changed dizzy to another one but miss was still there, Although I did noticed it moved to about 35000rpm as I didn't check new dizzy with timing light maybe it was a bit out ? ECU shows up no faults. Any Ideas out there ?

yea i had same prob,bought a complete dizzy off trade me,guy assured me that it had new cas in it and it had been tested and sweet,so i elimanated that at the time and replaced heaps of other stuff even fuel pick up/sender,fuel pump,afm,still kept doing it,so i bought new cas and bearing and did it myself,and bingo problem solved. checked all the plugs etc in engine bay,over the back,something mayve come loose during the fun times. fuel filter didnt pick up some crap from bottom of tank? try injector cleaner maybe.just i thought

The Miss, Is a massive lean spot. Its seems to be leaning out about 35k upwards. I cranked the fpr form 35psi up to 80psi base pressure, And it fixed it, But this is not the fix.
