I have the driver's side axle in. I just have to get the passenger's side ball joint popped so that I can get that axle in too:

My to do list:
-Add engine oil/ break-in additive
-Add trans oil
-Add coolant
-Get the exhaust on
-Fab up a turbo stabilizer bracket. (I have one out of aluminum but I want the final out of steel)
-Bleed the clutch
-Passenger's side axle
-Charge the battery
-Tighten bolts here there and everywhere...

Lookin good Dan. Where are you getting it tuned now? Doing it yourself or taking it to King? Where'd you drop the charge piping off at to have it done for you?

She's getting tuned at King. It's going straight there once it's running.

I bought a intercooler/charge piping kit for 88-00 Civic off of eBay and let's just say that they gave me enough piping to do 2 Civics. lol, I did a lot of cutting and test fitting before I got it to fit under the fog lights and behind the bumper.

Ah very nice can't wait for this to be done, I want to see it in person. And good to know those charge piping kits actually will fit one way or another, I was planning on getting one of those if I go boost. But idk what I'm doing yet cause I'm a total woman on choosing. I was going to buy an obd2 ls longblock yesterday, $250 for it, 95k on it, everything there. The guy was on 15th and Cleveland though... didn't want to really go down there lol.
