Not a bad idea, since you have a "new" motor and conceivably you could get some shavings/bits during the break in period. However, he is what I think, and remember this is my OPINION. With just a bar magnet stuck to the oil pan, you will get particles, they will become magnetized, they will begin to clump together, and after they reach a certain mass, I could see them being pulled off the magnet by oil flow, except now, they are magnetized, and stick together, so instead of a small metal filing in your oil system, now you have a big one...
:awais:
At least with a magnetic oil plug you can clean the shavings off every XX miles.

to take off the dizzy you just gotta unbolt it. there are 3 bolts holding it on, if i remember they're 12mm. just unbolt the 3 then pull it out and you will see the o-ring, make sure you have a rag to plug the hole or oil will begin to drip all over your trans.
Careful with this, you were on the right track, you change your ignition timing via rotating the distributor. I don't know if that still hold true with your MSD ignition you got there. be careful

oh, and i need a new hood, and want a spoiler so what can yall suggest that wont take a months paycheck? Im still plannin on white rims, unless yall can talk me outta it (and dont say they are hard to keep clean, im a neat freak).
Personally, I dislike spoilers cause they impede your vision, I'm even holding out on getting a tint, because I think in a fast car it's very important to have a very good unobstructed view of things... for obvious reasons. (On the other hand, I'm thinking of like a 95% all around tint, cause I'm tired of gangsters at stoplights... Watching me bop out to shakira:rockon:.)
Luckily you don't have a fast car (especially driving around hitting things with no airbags

)
Hey, congrats on the trunk lights, and wiring the nozzles to vtec, cheap vtec light, interesting concept, tell the cops it's an OEM feature :db:.
I think these little projects will boost your confidence to tackle some more involved projects. LIKE MAKING YOUR CAR FAST!!!
I don't really give a shit about what my car looks like, casue if things go right with the turbo kit, I won't be in one place long enough for anyone to critique it
Be careful, hanging out here, your tastes may change.
