Fiberglass, Bondo???? this is not how you do things. If it can't be done with metal don't do it. I have been in the paint and body business for over 26 years, and yes we do use bondo, but only thin skins.

^True, but there were three 2.2L Vtecs that went into the 5th gen. Up to '98 they had H22a1's, 190hp. After that they had the H22a4, 200hp. And from Japan, there is an H22a type S with 220hp. I'd be happy with an H23 though, I'd love to have one to boost.
