Shoved my car out of the snow from my Gf's place.. Started it...got 3 feet... spun the tires.. reversed it and put it right back where it was.

Summer tires + Foot or more of snow + up hill = Fail

what did you do?


d16 racin header... so what are you going to do about the catalytic converter/O2 sensor?
also... if you bought a no-name header on eBay... well, good luck

when you're broke you shouldn't mod your car... it's a pretty simple concept. if you want to mod your car and have little money, just save that money up until you can buy a quality part. If you ever want to know what the cheapest recommended brand for a part or cheapest way to do a mod while still doing it right, just ask and we can probably help you find something that will still be a good choice.
also, if you have little money, why waste money on parts that will probably break?
for about $50 more you could have bought a megan racing header that will at least be durable

If you put that header on, you won't have a catalytic converter, and your ECU will throw a CEL and put your car into limp mode. Limp mode= low redline, less power, less gas mileage. To do it the right way you need a catalytic converter from or for a 96-00 EX, and an O2 sensor extension wire harness. This will allow you to run without throwing a CEL.

^^ i agree with pretty much he said...if your broke dont mod your car, be smart, save money, then mod with quality parts no sence in buying generic parts most likely they will do more harm than good...
