Not so familiar with the compression on the motor, i will ask my uncle that, hes been racing honda's and acura's before i could even say VTEC. i know a lot myself, but not as much as he does, just recently checked out the engine with his Diagnostic comp. and it turned out a sensor was missing, do not know which one yet, but he assumes the guy who swapped in the engine probalby forgot to put it in.
Also, does any one know where i can get some better axles, and which suspension you guys think is the best, cause i want the car to handle at its best, im happy with the stock suspension but prefer to upgrade.
