Man I feel your pain. I have no love for '82-'92 Craparo Fireturds. When I think about the '84 Z28 I used to own I feel like committing suicide. I simply cannot believe how often stuff broke on that car. Every day something sh1t the bed on that car. One day a window motor, the next day the transmission......I ended up parting it out and junking it to get my money back after the 2nd transmission blew. Just thinking about it makes my pooper hurt

i almost cried when i found out how much money i dumped into the integra only to sell it for dirt cheap its bad enough that 99% of cars are gauranteed depreciation and the worse "investment" to make, but oh well. having fun and experience both come with a price tag i guess.

Well good luck with it. You only have like a second to shave off and you are there. I think the TH-350 changeover is a great idea. Supposedly you can build a 700R4 to be just as strong but everyone I know has had nothing but problems with them while the guys running Turbo 350s, myself included, beat the snot out of them with no regrets. I think there is a kit to install one and keep the torque arm on a 3rd gen. I guess that is what you are doing.
