WHEW!!! Good to know man. Besides your Lude is ridiculously clean. I know exactly how you feel. Blood, sweat, tears, money, time, energy, patience, and hard work makes guys like me and you wanna just keep it no matter what.
I honestly wanna do a H23 vtec swap as well cuz the motor by itself is a beast AND it's cheap but parts aren't as easy to find here in the US.
:considered: btw did you sell your roof rack?! What you gonna do with it?
