DBrooks, I want one, I gotta find one for a good price and its gonna happen 
The dyno Tune day is almost here... Week needs to hurry up a bit.
But I had to replace the Left Axel, as I mentioned eariler. but now I have a clunking sound comeing from the left side, you can hear it pretty loud.
It happens only when driving, and you go to shift, Pushing clutch in, and giving it gas to swich gears, accelerate... sometimes happenes when just driving around and not hitting clutch... its kinda by the driver side wheel.. havent had a chance to lift the car and see what it is... Ill lift the car Friday afterwork, gotta do a oil change. so thats when I will see whats all goin on there. Ill do a oil change before the tune, and a oil change 50mils after the tune,a then another one when I get to 500 Miles.

there shouldnt be a coolant smell at all... maybe a hose has a small leak? maybe the thermostat housing or something along those lines.
if the smell is only inside the car its probably the heater core or maybe the hoses

Well guys. It was a bittersweet day yesterday, DBrooks Knows why. 
So at the dyno. I ended up maxing my 440 injectors out at 6500RPMS.
Vtec Wouldnt kick in at the set timing. Ended up being a low oil pressure issue.
Then about 2hrs into the session. we turned the car off. turned back on and some sort of knocking happened... not sure what it was :/ and then decided to call it quits!
The car ended up dynoing 305whp233tq at 10psi. maxed fuel. and still had a shit done of timing and everything else that needed to be done.
After we called it quites. a knocking happened again. The guy tuning said it could be a Main/Rod bearing goin out. So I could not risk this happening to me.
Drove the car around for a few hrs. did 4pulls total.
1st pull. a 3rd gear pull. felt okay, but you could feel the power kinda jumpy.
2nd pull. was a 1st gear pull where all you heard was knocking.
3rd was a 3rd gear on to highway and car felt super slow.
4th was a 4th gear pull on highway and it just didnt feel right.
So I decided to go look at a few cars.
and well....... I traded in the Civic for a 03 Audi Allroad AWD TwinTurbo
in Olive Drab color.
and I couldnt be happier!
Sad that its gone, and I couldnt risk having it blow up on me. so the dealship took it off my hands.... gave me a good price for it...well beyond what I was asking. and left with a Awesome new platfor to maybe modify down the road. who knows.
Ill keep trolling around. and if people need help. Ill lend a ear and advice.
Ill have a few parts for sale. Ill make a thread for it.
Maybe make a thread for the Audi, just so you guys can see the beast
But it was a fanancilly stabile move I had to do.
You guys have been great! wish the civic didnt have the issues it might have had. and Hopefully the next owner treats her good!
