hahahaha no one ever gets it right.

It is a 1989 Conquest TSI SHP. AKA Mistu Startion.
More mods than I can list, only 73,000 miles on her, but is waiting on the N20 to be installed. Just broke in the new turbo so I am now upping the boost hehehe

The 3G eclipse ran 12.5 with tons of motor work and some N20 to help it along. That was parted our and sold for the civic.

What can u take them to court over??? They fixed that car without warranty covering it, out of their own pocket. Victory honda of monroe is the one that inspected the car and sold it to you that way, not la fontaine, so i would say its victorys fault, not lafontaine. they are one of the nicest dealerships around.

i can take them to court because when they reassembled the car things were done half fast, and the route they took was half fasted, they didn't follow honda's guidelines on the repair. also the plugs they put in weren't gapped right and were totally the wrong plugs which was the main issue i have come across thus far. no matter what by performing work on this car they are upheld to a 12 month 12k mile warranty on their service and parts used. the car was not running properly and it was only known after the car became heated.

pretty much the service manager told me he was not doing anymore work onto this car and told me to take it home as it ran fine, well i told him no the car wasn't fine and he did not listen, so i took the car to pure tuning in toledo the guy dyno'd the car proving it was missing power and then he found the problem and fixed it which costed me 680$. Either way la fontaine faulted on their own service warranty. in reality should not of done any work on this car outside of warranty, and when they actually heard how heavily mod'd the car was, they didn't seem very happy lol.

and even now with me shorted 600$ the car still isn't running great as it has hesitations and is seeming to be misfiring during idle, and the car still builds rev's much slower in the lower rpm's versus any other SI.

also another odd thing, is all this work done by them was not submitted anywhere and did not show up on car fax which really pissed me off, if i had known this car had so many problems i wouldn't of bought it. in all honestly i think this engine is just totally ****** and should just be accidently hydrolocked lol.

yea, weight reduction ftw lol, from wat i heard from most people is milan isn't that great of a track and that you shouldn't expect great times.

i couldn't believe those mazda speed3's were only getting 14.8-15.3 normally they pull low 14's to high 13's.
