Threw in a cheap 2.5 N/A engine to get my car moving under its own power again after I blew my turbo motor at mission.

magneti marelli ecu flash....
from stock 160hp / 170lbft.... becomes 196whp and 233lb/ft... without bolt ons. the cars were apparently "under rated" from the factory's advertised 160 crank hp... lol
thats what 500 madness dynoed on a bone stock abarth... even more gains with cat back and intake. it seems promising.. I drove the one matte black one for sale... and it has the magneti marelli flash along with other mods (has meth injection as well)... jesus christ its fast for a little car.
2nd gear no traction at WOT... awesome.

Although no second gear traction is most likely the result of woefully inadequate tires.
EDIT: Not this is more accurate;

Kind of what I did this week.... ending off with what I did today:
Monday:
-Picked up another Integra as a daily since my supra isn't ready to drive still
Tuesday:
-Aircared it and did another more thorough check over of the car to see what I need to do
Wednesday:
All hell broke loose maintenance day
-Replaced alternator and power steering belts
-Hot oil flush (oil came out blacker than night)
-Coolant, Brake, Power steering flush
-GSR fstb installed
Thursday:
-Both front motor mounts
-C pillar bar install
-Another brake flush as my brake pedal was spongy and thought I got air in the system.... ended up finding out my brake master cylinder crapped the bed 
And Today:
-Replaced brake master cylinder and no more spongy pedal! 
-Rear wiper delete
-Painted the amber corners of the rear taillights with VHT red
All in all such a long week and still haven't even really started the mods yet....

I was thinking about two sided tape on both the part the tucks into the door and all along the bottom. That would be almost 10ft of tape on a single skirt, plus two screws in the wheel well area.
If that doesn't work, I still have the option to copy you, Chris.

Wash, claybar and wax.
Claybar works like magic on yellow rust spots on white cars, can't wait to try out Iron-X.

Went out for a drive to test various tiny adjustments on car. When turning right into an underground parkade.....
The intercom is still on the left side.
