I figured it out. I’m back on… Thanks Ray! I know it’s a lot of work, but it will be worth it. it’s built well lite and has a history.haha. 94-97 Mark Pettograsso from East coast audio built it. It was prob the first Honda in the area to have any work dun to it. It had a cam, head work, throttle body, header, crane hi6, coilovers, 17’s haha. remember it was 94’ it also went to the world finals in Daytona for the 151-300 sq class. Rember when car stereo contests were cool.haha. Anyway, around 98’ I put a ZEX nitrous kit in the car and with a 75 shot went 13.4 @ 102 mph. I wanted to go fast and build a real drag car, so I gutted the car and sold everything out of it, and with the help of everyone at APG we set off to build something fast. We had ABS chassis do the cage and all the front end stuff. I was having my “friend” Steve Taylor from LA do the engine for me. LS VTEC, 87mm bore 95mm crank 2" deck spacer we were shotting for 300hp to the wheels. I sent out the block, head and $5000 never to see any of that again. thus never finishing the car. Now would be a great time for someone to get it going again. someone call me to make an offer or trade me something cool. (518) 542-3366. A single cam and some spray and you could have a fast car. Rember, traction is key. This car has the sus out of Lanny Hega’s old 9.50et. civic. ---
