	Well, it's a very subtle thing.  I don't think anyone btu me would
notice cuz I drive it all the time.  It only lasted for a couple of
seconds, but those seconds is where the Civic ate me up most.  It could
be a 16V thing, but I highly doubt it.  Could be something in the way of
some pipe or something???

	BTW I was talking to a buddy of mine who used to have a GS-R in his 89
Accord, and we agree that the guy in this aforementioned Civic probably
had himself a GS-R unit in his car as well.  The reasoning behind that
is when my pal had his car running, he couldn't take me down until about
end-of-second/third gear.  Time will tell, though.  I want to run this
guy again ;)
