Default Ya Fix Something, Then Something Breaks !

basically I was down at LHT all day where john patched up my header and did a few other things to make it fit tighter against the oil pan. after leaving I was hit with the great feeling of what the car drove like when the header did'nt have holes and dents in it, nice smooth power band all the way to the top with no exhaust leak sound. 20 min later my speedo cable breaks and triggers the engine light, No big deal.... little did I know that the ECU reads speed from the cluster. no speed. no VTEC !!!! so I missed out on going to the track plus it needs to be fixed before dyno day! DAMN THE MAN !

haha my delema, car wont start but car turns over fine. so check spark. good spark, ok check fuel, no fuel.. so replace pump, and fuel is all good. so go to start the car again. and all i get is a Tic. no turn on the starter. so after some testing it seems i need a new starter. damn 20 year old cars with orginal parts.

atleast with a new starter it will be another 40 or 50k miles before anything else needs replacing. ya right.
