Cleaned the rest of the motor up tonight. Ready to be painted. Gonna look around for some high temp silver soon. Then I'll reassemble it and add parts as they come in.

 

Mmm shiney!

 

Got some stuff in today. The flywheel looks good, just needs a resurfacing. The clutch that the guy threw in looks a little worn so I'm not sure if I'll use that. Got the throttle cable, sensor insert and the giant radiator hose that I need to cut in two to make both radiator hoses. I found an ep3 tranny on K20a with only 40k miles so I sent him a payment. Says it should be shipped tomorrow or the day after. Glad to get the step out of the way. I painted one side of the motor and it came out good.

 

Who drives that POS with the ricer wing in the background??

 

Nice progress!
Block looks nice

 

LOL That's my neighbor. He's had it for years. 35 year old hispanic guy. I'm happy he doesnt come to me to talk about hondas.

 

Thanks. I'm all about motivation so when I'm feelin burnt out or worried, I go do something else for a day or two. By then I'm all excited about the swap again haha.

 

LMFAO! Hobo, what would HCF be without you?

 

Oh turst me i know how it is.. havent worked on my Sol in a few days. The Oil return line pissed me off.
And I also got a cold..lol.

Thats why i love having my civic as a daily instead of just my sol. I can take as long as i want and not have anything to worry about lol.

 

Got it all painted and put back together for the most part.
