Also, does anyone know where to find a D16 BSFC map? I'm considering joining the HondaTech forums for some help/info on certain things.

sounds like a couple hundred bucks and a weekend of work with proper tools. not really a big deal IMO. Such is life with a 20 year old cheap car.

Those are Jeff's words... I just copied from his note sheet. I'm guessing cracked is practically the same as "shot" or "needs replacement". It'll be something to look for next time I get under it.
The springs did not look broken to me but that sounds reasonable. Too bad the Ebay springs didn't fit. Still planning on doing coilovers and more bushings in a few months, all at once. Hopefully that would get rid of some issues and give it more racecar.
Thanks for the CV advice. I'll go for that then. Says Right Inner so I will do that until it gets warm outside, then replace it for peace of mind. Maybe have a bonfire and beer for those who help out.
As far as not a big deal, I've never done most of this stuff before so it's a big unknown. Kind of scary but I'm not opposed to trying.

In non-depressing news, I worked on the foam grille block and mirror delete panels yesterday and they should come together ok. There were lots of huge air pockets I had to go back and fill with more foam.
