I have a 99 Subaru. The clear coat is about 1/3 gone and continuing to peel off. Rust is not a big concern in my area.

If I was to anything about I’d grab another hood in the same color from the junk yard. I know one of the local yards (https://www.picknpull.com) currently has a potential candidate I can pickup for $65. I’ve used the same yard to pickup various bits & pieces previously.

So majestic.

I don’t even want to try to guess the price if it is on BaT.

I read there reasoning and believed it.

Grand Central Terminal in New York City.

I was there when it started.

Clean paper and cardboard are easily recyclable and worth money. I first figured this out over 30 years ago while taking commuter trains into NYC.

There were approximately one yard cubed wagons left on the platform to discard your already read newspapers for recycling. Local hustlers would often reassemble the papers and sell for half.

At some point locking tops eere put on so it was difficult to remove the papers. This was because the agency collecting the old newspaper was making money from it.

Fast forward. Some cities make it a crime to rummage through the recycling bins.

There is money there.

Need your location to figure out inspection.

They don’t check lights in California so you would be fine.

You make many good points. I skimmed the article and thought it was a good idea for desert areas but honestly have no zero knowledge of desert landscaping.

I did the same thing at that age. My dad called them and ended it.

Many years later I joined multiple times.

I’ll do better

Perhaps exploding was the wrong term but that doesn’t excuse them from having two engine families with issues and not supporting the owners. I had fight to get the engine replaced.

As an owner of a Kia with the exploding engine option I’ll pass.

oops, wrong thread

Living in LA I became familiar with both haze and smog.

Slickdeals forums are one US equivalent.

My sister is a nurse and freaks out any time I mention vaping because of shady carts. She smokes lots of flower.

Stanley are what they came with from the factory.

I’ve seen plastics repaired both ways. I like your plan better.

I was under the impression you pulled the PS pump and hoses, not sure why. It will be fine then.

The 4-1 gives a slight power bump at higher RPMs but the trade-off is power drop at lower RPMs.

A quick search shows no OEM 4-1 headers BUT I did find the exhaust ports are larger than other H22 so a proper exhaust manifold is needed for the higher output.

This site lists the features of the different H22 engines. Here is what they say about the H22A:

There are two versions of H22A for JDM Honda: H22A Redtop and H22A Blacktop. – H22A Redtop has a red valve cover. This is the most dynamic out of all H22 engines, it was installed in Honda Prelude Type S and SiR S-Spec, and in Honda Accord Euro R. It boasts 220 HP @ 7,200 rpm and 221 Nm @ 6,500 rpm. The H22A Redtop engine has dome pistons, which increases the compression ratio to 11. A new intake manifold, a 62.5 mm throttle body, improved exhaust manifolds, and 57 mm exhaust system are used here as well. Light head porting was made in factory conditions, and the cylinder head was fitted with sports camshafts. Here are the H22A cam specs: duration 306/310 deg, lift 11.91/11.12 mm. For the H22A Euro R engine (JDM Accord), a different intake manifold was developed.

Nice find on the H22 Type S! This might explain the headlights. The may be JDM.

Since someone spent a few bucks you may have some other hidden gems. I believe the B-series had an available 4-1 exhaust manifold instead of the standard 4-2-1. The H series may have this too.

Does it have LSD? Easy way is to check is drive hard. You can always check the stamping on the trans but that is not 100% reliable. People often mixed and matched pieces to make their perfect ratios.

I read the previous post about the PS pump delete. People used to make sure there was fluid in the rack and then loop the input and output. This keeps the rack clean and lubed allowing for easy reversal.

Finally, people often use bondo for fixing interior plastic.

Keep us posted!
