i had 2 of em, identical
both had same engine, one i raced alot, the other i have raced not so much but still a few times mostly was my reliable drive to work car.
the other lude ended up getting in a minor front end collision.
i sold the crashed one to a guy in PA who was gonna fix the front bumper and shit, without a motor in it
sold that motor on ebay

you can see in the vids the differences in engine sound, also the cluster wasnt hooked up on the beater lude for some of the videos, i also had an open exhaust at one point (tbird vid is a good example)

millerman i dont see why your concerned, i have all my cranks tested to 9000 anyway and honda even states that the motor is reliable stock to 8500 as long as its not continuous and the motor is well maintained. especially on a mobil 1 protected engine from day one. plus the revlimit is set at 7800 because the max HP is achieved around 6800 with stock cams, 7200 with type-s cams.
