That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


 Accord Rs are cool and as a previous owner of a same era Type R if you have the VTEC kick in yo all the time make sure you check the oil regularly. Road tripped a 2001 Integra Type R from London to Gothenburg a bunch of times to see friends and always had to top the oil up every day after 500 hard miles. Especially on the derestricted parts of the Auto Bahn between the Netherlands and Denmark.

Those seats are so good.

My 2001 Integra type R had similar seats, they are great but not that comfortable for long drives.

 I feel for you after owning some JDM imports they didn’t have good manufacture and aftermarket support. Ended up having to adapt Civic stuff for a DC5 integra. It worked out as they were similar but you always wonder if it isn’t the best solution. Of course none of the Acura RSX stuff really fits as it uses different suspension, engine, transmission etc…

 Do you have service history showing the belt was done by a shop? If I can degree a cam on a SBC then so called professionals should be able to do a belt on a modern engine.
