Default still here (somewhat)

well guys i'm still hanging in. no car yet. i feel guilty even posting about it. if i read my posts and didnt know better i wouldnt believe it. anyway currently waiting on drive shaft shop cv shafts and obd2 to obd1 adapter then dyno and tune then home to hapy civic owner. still no internet at home, times are hard with no car to get around with. but waaaa waaaaa waaaa, everybodys got problems so this wont be another post filled with mine. anyway i really miss hanging out on here and really look forward to when i can meet some of you in person, especially after all the hype! its time for me to come through with something more than post about what i'm "gonna have". anyway, to some of you new members (and old ones) i have said some really stupid things on here already both technically speaking and foot in the mouth. somehow i have avoided being kicked off and am grateful. i am hanging in there so ya'll do the same. talk to ya'll soon i hope.

Looks like you have a pretty good all motor set up. What are you looking at HP wise?

yeah agent not sure yet on that hp. for sure going to be more than 220. need to dyno to get exact number. i really need hondata like say the p200 to properly tune my set up and a sticky wide set of tires to improve traction before i'll realize the full potential on this car. got the labor bill today plus the few parts he needed to complete the job that i didnt provide. the bill was 3800. ive only paid up 2100 so far so as soon as i come up with 1700 i get it back. this doesnt include the nearly 10,000 dollars i spent on the parts and motor for the build.
