If you put some 12"-16" spacers under the spoiler it would match the rest of the body kit better. - IMHO

Hows the power on that car?

I am looking at different models of Honda's to find one that I would want to restore.

To be honest I havent driven it alot but so far seems pretty ballsy for a 4 cyl. Was rated 135hp but the motor had some stuff done in 2008 so idk if its stock revs 7000rpm without hitting limiter to be honest it surprised me a little.I added an air intake and old k&n I had laying around has a pacsetter header and im about to put a greddy evo4 muffler on it. I was wondering I changed out the oilpan and gasket do the f22a4 motors have a girdle or anything simular stock?

Is that a Gang Sign or are you talking about the different colors?

If it is the different colors that looks to me like the motor has run hot a few times and not had the oil changed very often.

I wouldn't really worry about it.

Also I have a leaking oilpan gasket, what is involved in getting the pan off?

Was refering to the part being pointed at above the oilpump pickup appear to be like a block brace or something to that effect. The dicoloration was just old oil. Sorry no gang signs here. The brace was dated 2008.

Was pretty easy me and a freind done it in about an hour. I used the felpro gasket and some gasket adhesive. Had to remove my down pipe was like 5 bolts and oilpan bolts the p.i.t.a. was getting the gasket off. I had to change my leaky dented pan so only made sense to do gasket.

reving a f22 crank out to 7k is asking to spin a rod bearing. Also your just making noise at the point. Your not making any power after 5800rpms...just saying

Also the "braces" is your block girdle. Its what holds your crank into the block. Nothing looks wrong that's just carbon build up from the oil.
