LOL hahahaha that coolant hose was hilarious, Nice always loved the old gen GSR,

I am curiouse to ask why the first spoon wheel was a scam, i know theres replicas but how did you come to the conclusion its fake? i know there made by Momo and have the all black center cap but please elabrate the difrences.

Your OEM DOT crate B17 short block should come with a water pump already installed. I have two DOT Type r b18C5 crate blocks and they come fully assembeld with oil, water pump. as well as internals of course.

the part of it being a scam was he came onto the spoon classifieds posted up that he got ripped off the day before and needed to sell his wheel and hub to recoupe the money. so i bought the wheel, other man bought the hub. then the a few hours later i got wise and google image searched the pics he used, turns out they were from a sale thread on here 4 years ago. so i went to ask why and he had deleted his facebook page already. so me and the other guy put a reversal on the payments immediately and they refunded us within a minute. so im guessing his email has a bad taste in the mouth of paypal as well..

well that is that part...

also started dissasembly since the new short block will be here this week, so i gotta get the car torn down so i can do a brake tuck, and get everything cleaned and painted for the new engine **sorry the quality of photos goes from HD to Iphone lol**

wunfstgsr

owe man thats scetchy! reason i asked is i got one from here a few years ago but is authentic. And both pics you showed looked authentic lol

Did you say you got a new water pump for the new block? cause like i stated i think your new block should come complete with a water pump so hopefully you could return the pump.


brake tuck :p i always admired the look of a oem car i vote leave the tucking alone haha restore it as stock as possible.

slowDB1

i don't mind the oem, but i HATE ABS.. if anything i will atleast do the RS brake lines as they don't have ABS. but that big abs cluster **** really annoys me since i am trying to build a clean clean car

slowDB1

so lots of goodies today for project white-trash!

OEM head gasket
OEM timing belt
OEM water pump
BRAND NEW OEM B17 short block
Spoon Duracon ****

slowDB1

fixed the double post, that was weird never had that happen before

slowDB7

Love these old integras, i wonder how that pully got so damaged

slowDB1

im guessing they did it on install, pretty easy to mess up.

wunfstgsr

Im surprised your new block didn't come with a water pump installed! nothing like fresh crate block from the dealer!!

slowDB1

when i ordered it, my parts guy said it didn't come with it, so that is why i ordered it at the same time. i actually got 2 of these crate engines, selling 1 lol

wunfstgsr

Owe cause my C5 blocks came with them on already! i bought two as well lol. Someone will like that block and it shouldn't last too long up for sale!

slowDB1

today i removed that ugly rear wiper, and did some more tear down up front. decided once everything is out, and i get all my tucking done of things i don't want to keep. i will let her sit till i can swing a paint job. cuz i don't wanna buy all kinds of nice suspension pieces and a traction bar and all that stuff and get over spray all over my goodies.. lol..

slowDB1

today i pulled the head, starter, alternator bracket, intake manifold, and some hoses and wiring.. this is where i am kinda stuck cuz i don't have an engine hoist, but that is fine with me cuz i need to slow down..









my integra's bunk buddy lol

Where the hell do you find a brand new B17A1 block?

Looking good BTW, those one piece headlights look worlds better than the USDM multi-piece things.

slowDB1

Did you also get new motor mounts?

slowDB1

i will be ordering hasport mounts before everything goes in, this car will be sitting motor-less for awhile. i am super **** about how things go in order, and well i've spent too much already considering i just bought my house 6 weeks ago and the car what 3 weeks ago? lol..

i need to take a breather and get back on track financially

slowDB1

no real updates, got some more parts in...ordered something i have always wanted, has a month to 2 month wait time, so i will keep that a secret till i have it in my hands

OEM valve cover gasket and plug seals
OEM vtec solenoid gasket
Spoon Sports Radiator cap
and 2 brand new OEM keys

car is tore down pretty good, got a friend who is gonna pull the old short block for me since i do not have a hoist. then i will start cleaning up wiring. and getting the odds and ends for the assembly of the new short block..

slowDB1

have just been waiting for the bolts to mount the wheel... love it! can't wait till i can install the other parts. but i didn't have the patience to wait to see this on the car
