I went by the shop today to drop of my friends turbo del sol to get it tuned to 12 psi and the guy at the shop said he was about to call me cause there was a problem with the ECU.

He said the the wiring harness in the civic does not match the GSR ECU so I would have to either get an Si ECU or get an OBD-1 GSR ECU and convert to OBD-1 so I decided just to convert to OBD-1. The only thing I am worried about is it passing the stupid VA emssions.

lucky my ass dont live in your neighborhhood or you'd be waking up to a shipping pallet and some plastic wrap

I guess that's why they call you slick rick...

the reason i didn't mention b18a is because a and b are basically the same...
