Nice clean setup. Love the exhaust. How's the car running?

I was able to run about 2500km after the exhaust system was done. Unfortunately the car is burning oil.. Withing these 2500km I lost about 2L of engine oil. Apparently there's no leak at the bay, which makes me think it's probably lose pistons or rings or something around there.
This probably means that the engine will have to be reopened and checked.

This is the reason I travelled the 2500km
This is our National Civic meet.

So, I've been trying to test my car's performance for a while.
Yesterday I had that chance and I raced against a VW Golf TSI and a Honda Civic SI. Both got smoked
Here are the videos:

So, after a long time without posting..
I finished my motor. A few more mods in the engine and installed Hondata S300 V3 and changed the fuel to Ethanol.
A few vids make it more fun

Oh man.. It's been so long since I posted something here...
Well, a lot of things happened to this car. I'll try to summarize a little.
I put the Hondata S300 v3 in it. Had a few issues after. And I realized that the work done by the last mechanic was really terrible.
My engine ended up breaking. 2 valve locks (I'm not sure if that's correct in English) broke and the valves just kept bumping inside the chamber.
Here's the damage:
It have been parked at my building's parking lot since January.
In June I decided to sell it. I didn't have time to work on it, I didn't trust anyone to do it for me as well, so.. The only thing I could do was sell it.
I decided to sell it for a very low price, with the hondata and everything in it. I had someone come in to visit the car on the same night and he decided to buy it.
2 weeks later this guy, who bought my car, contacted me saying that he wanted to return the car based on that the car was not good, that the car had been crashed and kept saying nonsense.
I guaranteed that the car had never been crashed or even touch by another car while it was with me, but I couldn't speak for the other 21 years that the car had other owners. I told him that I could bring a mechanical engineer to validate the state of the car, but I told him that I had done several trips with the car as it was, with my family, and never had any issues.
Unfortunately the guy threatened me and in order to protect my family and I I took back the car and gave him his money back.
The very next day the car was broken into while I was at work in the morning (9AM).
The police caught the motherf.. on the act and took him arrested.
But.. Believe it or not.. The police let him go, and by midnight, when I was still at work, the same guy came back and broke into the car again.
Yes, twice in one day.
No harm, he didn't take anything except a white bag, according to the security in my building, who saw him leaving the car with that package at night.
Theory: The guy who bought my car used it as a drug transportation mule.
No harm. Had to file another police report and fully clean the car this time.
With ALL that I had to move.. I started feeling that I was being watched and that feeling was taking a very huge unnecessary proportion.
When I moved, I finally moved to a place with a garage and space to work on the car! "There are evils that come for good".
So, Almost half a year later, I'm going to make this car good again, by my self!
Bought everything I needed and will start to work on it tomorrow. I'll try to post some pictures along the way.
I thought about asking for help from my friends, but seems like everyone's got an opinion here, and they really don't care much about helping but criticizing. So..

Alright.
First day of work. A few things done.
This is going to be an unusual build process so less hate and more support is appreciated .
I have analyzed the damage that those valves did to other components in the engine, and other than the piston, no real harm was encountered.
The connecting rods were already forged, so they didn't even have scratches on them.
I decided to replace all 4 pistons due to the damage and all connecting rods bearings just because of so many people saying that every time you open the engine those bearings need to be replaced.
Other than that, new gaskets.
The work will be done with the engine in the bay. What inspired me to do so was a video on youtube called "How to turbo your honda over the weekend". That guy had some guts and I had to try it.
Cleaned the old silicon that the mechanic used to seal with the head gasket using a razor blade and used 220 + 320 grit sandpaper + engine oil to hone the cylinders.
Main rods tighten to spec torque
You must love how detailed this manual is..
Pistons ready to go in the engine.
Now, as for setbacks, I do not have a piston ring compressor, so I'm studying ways to place them in there without hurting the cylinder walls.. Ideas?

Last day of the weekend.. It was productive, but not as I hoped it would be.
Today I was only able to put in the pistons and nothing else .
Unfortunately I don't have the loctite silicon to use on the pan and head gaskets so I preferred to wait until Monday so stores would be open and I can buy this thing and proceed with the engine closure.
I was able to put in the pistons using 3 tools - 2 of them were those plastic clip removers, which had a kind of sharp edge and worked out very well, the other one was a soft handle mallet to push in the pistons.
It took me a few hours to have the 4 pistons in, but I did it very calmly and they all went in smoothly.
A little video spinning the crankshaft. No bindings, so smooth! (Don't mind the moaning noises haha it's just so pleasureful to see it working..)
