thanks man that helps alot.....so is it exactly the same on the coupe(i have a coupe btw, it's frost white too

)....when you put yours on take pics and do a How-to, so all you really have to do is drill out some holes and make the square?

yup, as far as I know, just drill.

Also, use a self tapping screw on the front, since the EK's buldge out a little to hold em in.

I'll take pics, won't be for a bit...gotta get the car running first! It's been down like for weeks now.

well, it had no spark and no fuel pressure. car is sitting behind the honda dealership here, they don't want to work on it anymore.
Engine would turn over, but would not start.
checked the main relay, replaced the coil and ICM, still nothing.
Engine check light remained lit.
Checked ECM, the main capacitor was melted.
Possibly a power surge from the alt.
Put new engine grounds on it, from the thermo housing and VC.

got a new P28 with a new ROM program.
Got spark and fuel, but the timing is ass backwards or something.
Missing like crazy, barely idling. Not drivable.
VOltage fine from the alt...close to 14 volts.
Tried turning the dizzy, didn't help much. Started snowing, so quit working on it. It's snowing today...severe storm watch. GOSH! (sigh)

UPDATE!!!!

GOt the car running today!

Runs a lot better with the Erick's racing ROM than my Mugen one...
Well, that's up here at 7,ooo ft, I'll have to see how it runs in the lower elevations.

VTEC hits at 5,400 rpm, and pulls noooice!

just traded those type zeros for some EK's.
