Might have also been that the ZF8 didn't work with the AWD system at the time. Looking at their 2021 offering it looks like they dropped the V8 AWD option. Its been long enough that I've forgotten the reason we were told.

The 5 speed was supposed to be a lot stronger as well.

Have you ever tried it on a Honda bolt?

Well, one thing I think we can safely say Cline, is that none of us have to worry about the crazy things falling off! When Deboss garage was shilling for the Milwaukee Fuel stuff, I sent him an email begging to find a couple of J Series cars to take the crank bolts off of. Never did it...

5 Speed and I can't remember if AWD was mandatory with that or an option. We've got a pile of 16's and 18's AWD V8's. They're not as fast as you'd think. My TL can keep up with one off the line. Don't know about top end though. Buy the time they get everything in them they are heavy pigs...

GSP has them around this area. They generally will only spin them up if we're doing a hard search for someone, not really for a chase, unless they already happen to be airborne and in the area.

The design, by the way it changes gears, can be harsh. One of the thoughts was that Z1/DW1 was 'invented' specifically to take the edge off of the shifts, since at the time (circa 2002/2003ish) Honda was working on moving their cars to be more 'upscale' and that required squishy smooth shifting...

I doubt sitting in the sun is going to do much more than degrade the plastic bottle slightly. The oil takes more abuse inside an engine. Use it.

FWIW. My 2003 Accord didn't get a valve adjustment until 200k. Most of the exhausts were tight. Not 'burn a valve' tight, but certainly on the very very low end of the spec. My 08 TL got done at..ohh lets say 150k (I don't have access to my records at this moment) and it probably would...

You'd think it would have cost more to put cages in those than the vehicle savings would be since it would have to be a custom job. I doubt any outfitters make an off the shelf cage for them. Unless those are supervisor cars without cages.

He could be dealing with a flakey fuel pump though. Just like a starter, they sometimes don't work properly when hot. Although you'd think the fuel pump would cool down fairly quickly since it's submerged in fuel. Just food for thought might be worth checking fuel pressure when cold and when...

That's what I was thinking. Weak/low/no fuel pressure.

You're looking at VTECH cams. There's only one lobe for intake/exhaust, the third lobe is switched in and out by the ECM and takes over for the 'regular' intake lobe (or is it exhaust, I can't remember off the top of my head)
