Key word marginal. Keep in mind that once you reach this stage of a build repairs are exponentially more expensive. Don’t build it if you can’t maintain it. Demanding money is a bit of an understatement. Ask Joe if he ever imagined the sheer volume of cash he’s put into hatches over the course of time he’s been boosting Hondas. I don’t know him personally, but I’ll bet my Integra if you’d have asked him a long time ago that he’d be in this deep, he’d tell you’re fucking crazy. There is no methadone for boost.
