    AAA Plus is one of the great bargains out there if you have older cars. I have 6 people on mine (me, wife, 3 kids and a brother), which means my membership gets 18 tows per year, all of 'em up to 95 miles. I've had my car picked up and delivered from a repair garage a couple of towns away, I sent a Lincoln convertible 90 miles to a restoration shop, etc etc. It's great, for less than a couple of hundred per year.

(we finally have access to a digital camera now!)
    That pump came from HostileJava used and had been sitting for a while so it wouldn't surprise me if that was it.

    update - the main relay died and that's what caused it to die on us like that. we got it running again but there is ZERO oil pressure. i guess we're gonna try to throw a new pump on there but we're all leaning towards getting another longblock from japan and just dropping it in. the car will live again, and very soon at that. i'll keep you guys posted.

    Re: I love my new car

    nice, good thing you didnt go with a cb7. they are played out, imo. and an ass to work on compared to a 3gee. i mean i didnt ever like working on them compared to other models. although i'd get a wagon if i could find an EX model with rear disks and 145hp engine.

    Damn. Seems weird that it runs fine one day, main relay dies, and the no oil pressure. Stupid Hondas. Hehe.

    Re: I love my new car

    Damn!! Im drooling!! Those pictures really make me think really hard about not selling my 3gee. It looks like my twin. (minus the engine =) )

    I dont know what it is but when a 3gee coupe looks that nice it makes my cb7 look so common and bland.

    When my 3gee was up and running I got way more looks then I have in the cb7. Driving a cb7 just doesnt feel the same as a 3gee. It makes me cry mine isnt running.

    stock it only makes like 10 less than our motors

    B16A 160hp 111tq STOCK
    A20A3 125hp 12x? tq STOCK

    8000rpm vs. 6200rpm....

    plus i'd rather run 14's than 16's.

    i mean don't get me wrong, i still love my A20 more than any Bseries, but there's only a handful of these swaps and to have one sitting in my driveway is pretty awesome. lets not hate now.
