I already put in a GSR Timingbelt/Waterpump to make higher revs safer. I also have anouther set of cams I can send to delta to get reground.

Only internals I plan on modding are cams. The B Blocks are strong. I know the b20's weak link is its thin cylinder walls, However with good tuning like I plan on getting it shouldn't be an issue.

All i need to do to do RWD is take out the front two cv shafts and leave stubs in the wheel housing and in the transmission to not leak fluid. Its very doable.

Even then I want to stay AWD, I can do drifts and donuts and stuff that will get me thrown in jail just as quickly in AWD. Youtube for proof.

Nothing new on the frount currently. Im having trouble finding a AWD CR-V 5psd b Series tranny. after then I need to get Civic Wagon RTSi AWD goodies. those also are not the easist to find. Once I find them I will pick them up.

The youtube vide i linked above was an ek with 100% crv drive train and welded rear diff. Its still holding up after lots of abuse.

I will be useing the stronger civic wagon parts. Im looking to get tuned around 300whp then running around 200 for the daily rub and slowly cramp up the power the more i feel the desire for more power

The GSR Tranny in the Ek hit something in the road and left a big hole in it, with no oil and broken gears. The EK is sitting at its home waiting for a new transmission, the photoshoot was obvously delayed for the above reason.

I was on their mailing list the day I found out about it months ago. I have not heard anything from them about it.

I am kinda of giving up my AWD Dreams, After scavenging my local junkyards for a CRV 5speed and AWD Wagovan parts and striking out time and agian I am somewhat giving up my AWD dream. If i find the parts to go AWD, the sol will get ready for surgery, however as I can not find any the AWD conversion is currently on hold.

Current plans
* New engine mounts
* New Exhaust
* New Rims
* More Stance/Rolled Fenders
* Lip and Diffuser.

I am not scrapping my turbo plans, It will just be a bit longer before I can get to do them. If i come across an AWD tranny I want the cash to be able to grab it up.[/list]

#287797 If you're really wanting that tranny, you can contact H-Motors and see if they have one. I guarantee they have one or know where to get one. AND it will be guaranteed :thumb:
