I assume BTM is boost timing master, in which case yes it has an MSD. We have yet to retard the timing from stock position though. With 8 to 1 J&E pistons ans well as balanced assembly, and ported head it seems to work well. He actually has the car up for sale for $8500 if anybody is interested. Mail him at wpostle@ds.net his name is Paul

Teh MP2 doesnt even have adjustability under 3000 rpm if I remember correctly, so if you were having idle problems then either one of the injectors is not closing, or there is something wrong with the stock Honda devices. Have you checked the MAP, or is the check engine light on? I know that once a Honda map sees boost then it doesnt work right. We finally had to put 7 check valves in the missing link to correct for running rich, stalling after boost, aas well as stumble when stabbing the throttle. Every time the engine boosted th echeck engine light came on because of the map sensor. Good luck! I was very pleased with the final drivability of the car after these issues were addressed, and the power is at 305 to the wheels at 10 PSI.

What did you guys do to bleed the pressure off of the map sensor? If you dont have enough check valves in the "missing link" the map will recieve boost and this sounds like the problem. My buddy has an H23 T3-T4 and I had the same problems with the idle and drivability, exactly the same, but it is great now with that simple fix. I like the MP2 for its ease of adjustability.

Teh wheel medic is the way to go, they do a very good job at a fair price. I believe they are located off of Shoemaker Ave in Cols.

Get the dent out with a body hammer and dolly if possible and then use the bondo to fill the rest of the dent. The fillers of yesteryear were very bad for cracking, shrinking, and overall non pliability. Today is a different story with easy to sand fillers that are extremely pliable and durable. For small hail dents I suggest a 2 part glaze filler (evercoat from Autobody Supply, or tech 1 glaze from NAPA) will fill small dents with small sanding efforts. The primer coat and blocking will fill in all the imperfections, and for the beginner I suggest Dupont Sand and Fill which is reduced with Laquer thinner and is good for filling the very small dents etc. Thicker body fillers can be used, and are recommended for larger Above 1/8" dents, but are harder to sand. Black is actually an easy color to paint, but is brings out bad body work very quickly, and white or light colors hide it. It seems that with some of the info that you have been getting that not many people have actually painted or done bodywork before. I would also suggest getting a book and having patience, because bodywork is very laborious and tedious if done right.
