wheel balance, alignment, worn suspension bushings, or worn front wheel bearing?

could be the alternator rubbing the frame. Doubtful, but possible, if you didn't make enough clearance. Also, the b16 makes the ride quite a bit rougher than stock.

they made clearance for the alternator the motor didnt do it the first 100 miles and it only does it under acceleration i was hopeing that might be an indicator.

i took it in today and had the tires checked they were slightly off balance but not enough to cause the problem so they were rebalanced and it still does it just the same but now i cn cross that off from my list of posible causes.
