Hey fellas my name is Errol and i just picked up my 99 LX sedan.I am not new to hondas, certified tech by profession,i drag a 91 talon awd turbo.Have been professionally working on cars for the past 12 years so i am pretty much inclined.Got this civic, have no plans on boosting it but she is in real need of a rebuild 332,000 miles lol. I have been searching for a good forum home and after some google searches i found this one, hoping to gain some good knowledge from the members here, to abvise me on a reliable n/a build.

Howdy, neighbor (-ish). I'm about 45 minutes north of you. There's also a very tech-saavy guy here from Ellicott City.

What have you done with your Talon? I used to know a guy with a modded Eclipse version (turbo, AWD) of the same vintage, and couldn't believe how quick it was, even on the stock turbo.
