I see on the parts list it shows the S2000 HG and the 88-89 Teggy HG as compatible. Is there any difference? Whats the OE thickness of each?

Also I'm trying to decide if I wanna use a thermal intake mani gasket. Main reason I would get one is they're reuseable and they don't leave paper shit all over the mating surfaces when you take em off LOL. Any thermal reduction in the intake charge is an added bonus IMO. Who makes the most inexpensive thermasl gaskets? They're all pretty much the same right? ]]> ZC Discussions burnoutboy http://www.thezcr.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24300 http://www.thezcr.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24299&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:37:55 GMT right, here we go. it WAS running after it previously was not. and yet again, it isnt. im stumped. ive changed- dizzy cam and arm right, here we go.

Names Joey, I'm from NE Texas, and this is my 86 si :D



It's got a DOHC ZC with a custom exhaust from the header back and a stage 2 clutch. Inside its got some power leather seats, and outside its got a JDM front lip. Altogether its a pretty nice ride, but I do have my work cut out for me getting it where I want it and looking real clean inside and out. Current plans are to find time to port match my dc header for it, get an intake, get a valve adjustment, and a short shifter. After that, its paint, more low, get the pin-stripe trim (if possible to fit), and save for the turbo build in the winter... here are some more pics for you guys...





Dirty huh?! I know, I know, I'm slacking on the cleaning part but these were taken right after I got the car and this 240lb guy doesn't get along with the 100+ degree weather we're having!! Lol
