Ever modified a V6 into a V5 using brute force?

I had an '88 hatchback, got about 40mpg...never should have sold it.

Ya my dad has an 87 si, and my mom has an 87 accord dx hatch 5 speed, both get great gas mileage and just keep runnin

You're going to have an idle lump because you're taking a combustion out of the sequence so it will be a dead spot in the firing order. When you get the motor wound up a little, the engine speed is too fast to notice as much of a dead spot but it is still there. Not to be mean or anything, but that is definately the most ghetto and retarded thing I have ever seen anybody do. Lol I know it is basically an old junker and you just wanted to get it moving but dang.

LOL.... wow. Knock out the cylinder on the other side and have a nice little 4 banger //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Thats AWESOME! We are for sure from the same state. hahahahaha

Sounds like something I would do. Like the guy above me said, theres going to be a flat spot because the firing order is missing a cylinder.. once everything gets spinning quick enough though, its not noticeable. Kinda like how drag motors every 1/4 mile get so hot in the combustion chamber they actually burn the tips off the spark plugs and just keep firing.
