- seems as if the pulstar plugs LOST 1hp across the power band (we had to use a different dyno than last time due to a scheduling conflict)

- however, we did 3 runs prior to the plug install and then 2 after so car may have been a bit hot

* the oem ngk iridiums looked like they needed to be replaced

* don't have pics but i got a 2nd (small) resonator installed

* also have a new red valve cover

- avg runs of pre and post pulstar plugs are reflected in the chart below (line with the higher hp numbers are old ngk's)

If you lived closer I'd buy your seats.

Looking to swap into an S2k fulltime, eh?

It doesn't sound all that crazy for Tampa as long as you've got something else to haul crap around in (or you just never haul crap around).

anyone have experience selling a modified ride?

besides listing in acurazine's black market, where else should i post?

how do i gauge my selling price? that's really a tough ? because i have several one-off pieces (INCLUDING A SURPRISE THAT I'M UNABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT)

i would only sell for the right offer, otherwise i'll keep on driving and enjoying my prized possesion.

any help/suggestions/advice would be appreciated,
vinny

Surprise eh? Will we ever get to know what that is?

Sorry, I don't have much to help you with. I traded in my Civic because I just didn't want to deal with it anymore.

I'm betting KPro for the surprise mod...

Good luck with the sale. Your car's clean and gorgeous, hopefully you won't have trouble finding it a new home.

I can't think of a much better manual transmission to learn to drive on than the S2K (or TSX for that matter) 6 speed. It's like butter. You'll have it down in no time.

Also, guess #2: supercharger?

It would be too cool if your dad ended up driving Vinny's car around. And we'd know it would be in good hands...

he wants my car.

...

not happening.
so he told me to keep an eye out for one. he said he wants it modded,
he "don't want no stock bullshit." lol.
he thinks our car is perfectly balanced, powerful enough with mods, yet
still economical, and safe and reliable as all hell to boot.

he needs out of his buick pronto.

it helps that I have a garage full of spare parts too...
