Scott's Ek Build: Shaved and Tucked

Watchin it roll over from 99999 to 100000 looked cool as hell haha.
Sold the h22 today. $700 for it. So in the end it was worth it I guess. Pulled a motor down to nothing for the first time (well my own motor and by myself), so I got a learning experience for it, and more importantly made a $250 profit haha. So wellllllll worth it. Ordering a Beaks bar tomorrow or Tuesday. I THINK I'm going to go with green.
Beaks bar is on. Love this thing, looks so good. Today I was going to put new grommets on my valve cover bolts cause they are leaking. I pop out the plugs and realize I have oil sitting in my spark plug tubes. Little puddles in 3 out of the 4. My spark plug tube seals were not seated right, ended up tearing, and letting oil drip all the way down. So I took out my plugs, stuffed rags in them and cleaned up the tubes as well as I could. So tomorrow I will end up driving the crv (winter beater LOL) to work and pick up new seals to put in so I can drive my car again. I am so suprised my car never bogged or missfired with the oil that was in there, got pretty lucky since I drive 60 miles every day. I also cleaned up my headlights, they were pretty foggy. So with a polishing pad on my drill I hit them with ScratchX first, and then with Meguiar's headlight and plastic leanse polish. They look brand new now!
December 1st my car can no longer be driven, insurance on it will be changed to it being stored. So I can start ripping it apart then and dd the crv.
Also a kid in my autos class told me somethin I'm going to try on Monday. Apparently on isis (the honda dealer site for employees, can see specs and how to do stuff and all that amazing ****, I've got a password for it from school ftw) they put up a bulletin about replacing emissions and parts and stuff for free. I don't know the exact thing. But basicaly I call them up, and since my car is under 14 years old, and less than 150k on it, they will PUT ON brand NEW plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. All for free, apparently it is some sort of warranty. So I'll give a call to Honda dealer by me and see if I can get them to drop a new ignition system in for me for free haha.
Here's some pics:

All bolted up:


Not the clearest pic, but this is my POS Blox lca bushings DESTROYED. It is ripped so bad, I hate these lca's. This is why I'm getting either Skunk2 or Function 7's:

More pics of the bar:


Headlight restored:

And if I say so myself, my car is DUMPED, especially the rear end. So I scrape my exhaust and resonator everywhere. So I decided to measure how much clearence I have from the Beaks bar to the ground. Just a lil bit over 3.5" seperates my shiney $115 from the concrete hahaha. Aka if I bottom out or hit some sort up big bump too fast, bye bye Beaks haha!
