    You've got a timing belt. If I recall correctly, they stopped using timing chains around 1980 on cars.

    I agree with Justin, Turbotrix is a good shop to deal with.

    how dark is your tint?

    I have 5% tint on all windows except the windshield where I have the factory tint strip. Got pulled over for it like 3 times in 1 year, only got a fine once. (Knock on wood)

    rpm is 3000 @ 60 mph

    My gearing is custom, but on my dad's 91 LX it is at that same spot. Mine used to read that too. BTW, both his and my protege's are 5-spds.

    anyone here around my age?

    I'm 19 and since day 1 my parents philosophy has been, "If you want something, go out and earn the money for it." So, started with a 91 accord that I built up. My parents bought it for me but I payed them off for it. Then after it got stolen I got my 91 Protege and builtthat up along with my 78...

    So you're the blue speed I've been seeing on 22. You wouldn't notice me though since my Protege has been down for about a month due to mechanical problems that I have finally sorted out however, normally you'd notice my protege. It sticks out like a sore thumb.......Gotta love them J-pec 1st...

    Good Service Guys in Jersey???

    Yeah, Don is pretty cool and laid back about that kinda stuff. I used to work with him and in discussion one day I found out that he used to have a few hot rods back in the day (probably explains why he's cool about the mods.)

    Exhaust shop in NJ

    I know the manager of the Meinakie on Route 22 in Union. I don't think he has mandrel ends but he could probaby do the exhaust for you if you get the piping. He hooked me up with a 2 1/2inch turboback and a brand new cat for $600.
