- Thu Jan 31, 2013 8:30 pm #325332 like ive said in previous posts, im a lil bitch when it comes to the cold, I work in an office now, so the cold isn't an option any more for me, on a good note, I did source a 5 lug conversion for 750 us

we will see how it goes, I may keep it 4 lug but the 5 is so sexy....

have a k may as well do the 5 lug.

IM tired of turbo, all the bull, rather have a solid working charger. :thumb:

- Sun Feb 03, 2013 3:18 am #325500 OK I'm at it again after checking out my civic from a little distance I realized my core support is off by a hair....

I'm either looking for a nice shell to swap everything in or price out all the existing parts I need to complete my project

Whatever is cheaper is the way I may go :thumb:

I have been always contemplating getting a shell to swap my parts over, only because I have a whole rear quarter panel to swap out and my car is not a clean title. How much shells go for out there?

- Sun Feb 10, 2013 4:40 am #326069 i havent been working on my civic for quite a while now, i plan on cleaning it up by vaccuming all the junk out of the civic, get the interior back together the best i can, im excited to get it buttoned up finally

i am currently working on a DIY write up in the k section of this forum on how to change your timing chain, only problem is its in a rsx but when i install my toda chain and tensioner in my k ill post that up too..

my buddy gave me his valve cover here are the pics. i miss my original type r cover, but it was faded pretty bad

here are the pics

just test fitting this on my civic for fun

- Sun Feb 10, 2013 4:49 am #326071 Ive been doing alot of research and thinking about the route im taking with my build

i got rid of my power steering and am going the manual steering rack route.

need to pick up an ep3 idler pulley, but im keeping the ac for sure, it gets way to hot here were i live not to have it

ive been talking to luke at 4 piston racing about a ported head

the 156 head is going to be the best bang for the buck, although i will need bigger camshafts than my brian crower stage 2's for the head to really flow right and utilize all its potential

itb's are a must and an asp header will be needed also

im going to get it all buttoned up, re sprayed the same color blue, electron si blue and start saving up for my upgrades next winter
