    A lot of people say they move them to the back for weight distribution.

    Re: whats this?

    but why? in my eclipse, makes sense since it's awd. but since the 3g is fwd, i'd want more weight on the front since that's where the driving force is being translated to the ground. unless you're more into autox instead of drag.

    Its a nipple

    serious, that car drives on lpg and that's the nipple you fill the tank with.

    lots of cars in holland have that

    Re: whats this?

    i resized and lightened the area.
    may be a nipple for lpg,....but i would think there would be some sort of
    gas tank/neck conversion for the lp tank install
    that would have to take place. just my .02¢

    Re: whats this?

    lots of honda's do over here, especially when 1 liter of gas averagely costs 1.35 euro's. that's about $1.70 per liter, uhm.. that's.. uh $6.50 a gallon sortof

    and lpg costs only .50 eurocents per liter. wich is obviously a lot cheaper.

    Re: whats this?

    That car belongs to one of the members on this forum. Dont really know his name. My guess would be a parking Pole found on some JDM Civics that can collapse and elongate upon activation.

    Re: whats this?

    Liquid Petroleum Gas? Is that the same thing as propane? I thought that petroleum is what you regularly run in your gas tank... that stuff that costs people $6.50/gal. Is there some kind of switch to go between either tank? Is that an aftermarket conversion? So many questions!

    Re: whats this?

    yeah, petroleum is what you normally run. that'll cost you $6.50/gal. and I guess lpg is the same as propane..
    you get ann extra tank in the trunk that replaces the spare tire or you can get an extra tank that's in your trunk and you can keep your spare tire, needless to say you loose a lot of trunk space
    you get an extra switch on your dash wich converts the fuel going to your engine. older cars have to start on petrol and when their warm ride on propane/lpg
    it's as aftermarket as it can get. from 1999 in every Honda brochure stated that no honda runs on propane unless stated otherwise. wich is basically none.

    i think that answers your questions 2ndgenguy

    Re: whats this?

    okkkk so whats this?

    it came with no hose on it when i got it, and you can see its not shiny were a hose should be so it's been off for some time. i applied vacuum and sometimes randomly, it makes the car run even smoother, steady idle, even less pressure out the exhaust and no putt, sounded like a NORMAL car for once, i was surprised, but when i turned it off and back on it went all shitty again, and no vacuum could get it how it just was properly, only worked like 3 times but yeah, what is it?

    maybe i shoulda made a new thread in carb tech?!?!??!?!?!? but i dont wanna be flooding that section now do i

    Looks like it could be some sort of deceleration valve for the air suction system.
