Who makes the one that you are going to use? Have you seen any info on them on how well they stay put?

It's made by 1320, they are good. Just add some Honda Bond and done, realistically if it pops out you have an issue with crank case pressure i.e. bigger problem lol

Good deal. Hope that thing works out well for you then. I'm surprised that there aren't more like it out there by other companies. And yeah, blowing things out of that hole is def a larger problem...haha.

I had a transmission bell housing and borrowed a starter to do a compression test. For being a cold test im pretty satisfied.

Nasty stuff




New OE stuff




Love this tool



IDK, have a feeling the belt is going the wrong direction after I installed



Catch can stuff installed



Stainless steel studs and titanium flange nuts



Hopefully the lower timing cover gets here by next weekend because that's when the engine is going in.

I had some wiring issues again, got rid of the garbage engine harness and bought a fresh obd2 EX harness and decided I needed piece of mind so I bought a cabin harness too.




Got it all done today, also fixed my bogging issue. Quick search suggested it was the Ignitor, swap it out and it's good now. Need to break the clutch in finally. I only put 4.7 miles since the swap lmao terrible.




I can finally get to the important stuff, koni/GC setup, wilwood brake kit and new camber kit. Also waiting for some new goods to come in the mail.

Trying :/

I never posted it but I purchased a Yonaka catback. Fitment was garbage and sounded horrible, I sold it and only lost like $20. Ordered a Tanabe Medalion right after. Fit perfectly and sounds very conservative considering I'm running a test pipe too.

Getting the OE hanger welded on the chassis


Strut King pedals

Tanabe for the win! I adamantly hate yonaka exhausts after seeing every one bought by friends fall apart in less than two years. I loved the tanabe I had though

I had to to actually bend some of the hangers today, catback hung a little low in the rear and was scraping lol. All good now, a little massaging with a mallet helped

Finally back to summer mod



SPC adjustments, great but ball joints were weak and arm was too bulky to be functional. Hard Race, why not. Had their Extended Ball joints for years and still using their Toe Adjuster.



Installed, I've pretty much replaced the front end completely lol.



Strut King pedals almost complete. Need to find the OE plastic to install the gas pedal.

Looking good your build has come a long way. It's nice to see a quality build with all quality parts.
"Cry Once" motto

Need to change out my front lip but here are some pics on how the car sits now.





New Mirrors, Ganador Reps. They actually are functional, the hole diverts air in the car.
