I've checked the timing, I've rebuilt a couple of Honda motors in the past, I'm no expert but I at least know the basics to look for with that. I had an em1 before this car so I'm used to having a bit more power. I'm sure it's just a nut behind the wheel issue at this point. Lol.

hahah the nut behind the wheel!
I just can't stop laughing thinking of that.. but hey I bet you're getting better fuel economy with the HX compared to the em1! I did drive a 99 EM1 back in the day, and that engine was such a sweet, sweet sound with the rush of power. The HX is different but still nice, just not as forceful.
Yup I also had both calipers seize, replaced with re-manufactured. Yup I'm wondering how long it'll be before my booster starts having issues after twenty years. I've asked the mechanic who helped me (some stuff I cannot do) and he said that it was looking good. so we'll see how far I get with it.
and timing, glad you were able to check it
I have to ask you.. how are you able to get 40mpg? I cannot seem to get past 32mpg. Everything is tuned up, new plugs, distributor, ecu capacitors replaced, new injectors, egr cleaned, new egr valve. everything is done! Alignment is perfect too. So let me know what you're doing.. I'd love to know.
