Sorry I havent been on lately to give any updates...been busy between my dad passing away and the new job at an HVAC engineering Co. But the project is about to take off starting around the middle of September!

1. My motor has been ticking lately and the harness has a short. So the obvious thing to do was order a B18c1 long block, LSD trans, and Hasport mounts from Hmotorsonline! It will be here in 2 weeks!

2. Been wanting new wheels forever...so I ordered some Gold w/ polished lip Konig Candy's. Specs are 15x7.5 et+30. Should be here within the next week or two!

3. The exhaust on my car was welded to the header as a temp fix since a flange couldnt be found, so along with the new motor, a 1 piece tri-Y header and Apexi WS2 catback will be going in as well.

4. BOOST! Ordered an ACT Stage 2 clutch kit to go in the new trans so it can handle moderate boost. Ive started to piece together a kit already.

I currently have no camera that works other than my phone, but I hope to change that soon. Still havent posted any pics since the Koni's and GC's went on.

I am considering building the LS block thats currently in the car slowly. Then eventually swap it in and have a build and boosted LS/VTEC setup. But the block will be a slow process due to lack of funds.

Exactly why I can't afford to build the block. Building a block would be another K easy. I got some good deals on all that as well. But yeah, the new job is helping quite a bit, got a nice raise by moving there. Plus I got my HVAC license about 6 months ago.
