Big problems need help

By Classiccarsrule85
- Sun Jul 19, 2009 7:58 pm #131573 Ok so i have a 1995 civic cx with a d15b2 mini me with a Z6 head and skunk 2 intake....I just got to driving it finally after swapping it in and stuff like that and the first day it drove fine yea there was a slight drift but that was due to a alignment. but the second day i took it for the same trip but it seems to be slowly bogging down....and now its to the point where if i try to shift it bogs big time I dont need to even hit the brakes it slows down so fast....the brake pedal is stiff as well so im wondering if i should bleed the brakes quickly and see if that helps and maybe something locked up.....but yea i really hope nothing bad happened to the motor im letting it cool down now i just feel so frustrated so im looking for any help any at all....
