My 195/ 45 R15's came in the mail and my GSR oil pump! So My block is ready to be fully assembled I'm going to the garage today. Still waiting the lsvtec to come in ffs! I'm going to call today and see about canceling my order and try and get one faster. SwapShopRacing is just not on the ball right now =/
Never heard of these tires but they were pretty cheap so **** it. All the haters Just to let you know just another ebay pick up hate on
Oh and I sat down and did a full engine list of the motor build and I'm actually very happy with where the build is going! any input on it good or bad advice or critic is welcomed. Keep in mind this is a budget with a guy with no job right now. I plan alot more done to the block next year but I absolutely have to do body and paint so thats gonna come first. Dont really need it to be the fastest car ever just want 200whp and a reliable daily.

Since you're jobless and on a budget, I'd just get rid of these parts:
- Skunk2 IM (Use OEM ITR IM instead)
- Mild port and polish (Keep OEM ITR ports)
- AEM fuel rail and regulator (Use OEM rail and modified regulator instead)
- Gates timing belt (Use OEM instead)
- K-Tuned shifter (Use OEM Integra shifter instead)
You're just wasting money (in my honest opinion) on unnecessary parts to make only 200 WHP. Using the OEM parts will get you to 200 WHP no problems, and will save you easily $1,000 (assuming you bought, or buying all those parts listed new) that you could use towards an LSD, or an ITR tranny with LSD.

I really dont agree with what your saying at all. And what would be the point of buying these parts brandnew then go and sell them for less for what I paid. Thats wasting money. And why would I get rid of my SK2 IM and AEM high fuel rail when I picked them up for a great deal.... not to mention they will make my goal way easier to achieve with the parts I have. I have only been jobless since feb and now i am on ei and starting college in sept so im not living like a bum lol just building on a budget.
Not Really Related to my build but I'm going to share anyways! I went to check my email and seen I had 1 new email so I opened it and seen this.
Sooooo I was fired from a really good job as a detailer. (Wrongful dismissal) I got pulled into the office once again and grilled to go flat rate in the middle of feb which where I'm from theres no work because its winter. So instead of me being hourly for another month they wanted to force me to go flat rate when there was no work which the guys working there for 15 years were getting 3 hours a day and me being there for 1 year i'd get no work and I was getting the dirtiest cars so I declined and told them that I know they cant make me so they fired me. I felt pretty lost and depressed about it but I applied for school and got un employment. Finally got a bit of income so I put every penny into my bills (again I live with my gf in our appartment) and the rest for my build. now everything is coming back together so I'm gonna enjoy this summer and have fun with the car Ive been building for 2 years then go to school and do body and paint to my first car

Well, I didn't know you already bought them, that's why I said what I said - "bought, or buying all those parts new." Great deal or not, Skunk2 IM and AEM fuel rail are not needed to make 200 WHP (assuming your ITR head came with the stock manifold and fuel rail), and is a waste of money (again, IMO). And no, they will not "make my (your) goal way easier to achieve." OEM/Stock ITR intake manifold and a stock fuel rail have been proven numerous times over the past 2 decades that they are more than capable of 200 WHP and more. At that power level, the Skunk2 IM and AEM fuel rail (especially!) is nothing more than 'engine dress-up'.
Lastnight I took my wheels off to get the new tires put on. Really hate how I let the car sit outside all winter but its not my place so its not my choice. Wheels cleaned up really good though so I'm happy about that. Still waiting for the dam lsvtec kit ffs!
Some updates, Process on the block is going good the crank is in and moving very good! Putting the jdm ctr pistons in tomorrow. As all of you know Ive been having mad problems with getting my lsvtec kit sooooo. I canceled my order for the lsvtec kit, told them to send the oil catch can and bought a lsvtec kit for 120$ locally. It was used for acouple minutes and buddy found out his block was fucked so his lose my gain. Also my decals and hub adapter came in today sooo I got my wheel on :D
No heater core sooo perfect spot for A/F Ratio I love Deslsol's
Nice 'build'.... all I see are a bunch of spraypainted parts, decals and stickerbombing, some fake wheels with Chinese tires, and some recaro seats that look wildly out of place.
Harsh... He's just starting out doing what he can.. Also has mentioned his B series build... Not everyone has the means to do high dollar builds..
Could care less what the idiots think on this site really man, He fails to give props when its due its really whatever. my build is dope and It fits me so I'm good with it. Thanks for not being a hater

Block is getting there. CTR pistons in my ls block. Ready to put the JDM ITR head on soon. tomorrow I will be going to a huge car event sooo wont really get much done. acouple days and my delsol will be at the shop so I can work on it.

Thanks for the love bro! As for the bumper it was shitty getting on and was pretty mad about it but over time the bumper settled its self out. I was going to take a heat gun to it and this and that but over time it just went back to its shape. as for the gsr it was super fun! I dint get to enjoy it too much before it blew soo I'm excited to see this ls vtec work! Your doing what I did get the rare oem opions for exterior before paint aha
Always good to see a del sol build. Keep building your car the way YOU want you're the one who has to drive it and funding it.
Thanks man I appreciate it and dont worry I'm not changing **** because idiots on here wanna hate. I get mad love when I have the car out and when I'm out everyone ask's about the build and say how dope it is. I go to random people's houses to pick up parts and they are like I know your car its dope aha Could careless what these dudes think.

Well nice man it looks good. Hahaha yea I'm just patiently waiting to get all the rare exterior parts before paint. It will take a while though to paint since i'm going to try and do my own body work, but its a process im willing to wait for. I love my del sol and I want everything done proper. I want some recaros now though like yours or the confetti recaros, but they are just so much

******* ls vtec thats beast as ****, I was actually thinking of building a ls vtec once I can store my car in the garage since my area has a higher statistical rate of people stealing hondas
Didnt work on my motor this weekend because I went to a huge event to take photo's. Heres some hondas that were there. The blue EK is K series and very clean! The tegg is a ITR replica closest to being a legit itr you can get. and a few other hondas.
Also I seen the CLEANEST K20 EG hatch I ever seen there aswell. Like I said before theres only a few clean honda builds and that was hands down the cleanest car ive ever seen. Dude that owned it is a tech at lexus and his dad has been a bodyman for years. It took that car 8 months to be built which is unbelievable! When I talked about it later on acouple guys said they owned the car acouple years acouple and said it was completely rotted. our winters are horrible and our roads are salted like crazy so everything out here is rotten =/
Heads on, just need to brake clean the **** out of the oil pan an out it on, put a bung on my valve cover get a piece to tap into the block for my oil. catch can should be here anyday now. other than that I need little things then its ready to go in the delsol. Just need the delly to be towed to the garage to do it.
