Man I'm glad you sent me the link to your build, I honestly had intentions of building the same setup as yours but after seeing your build I now realize I don't have the income to do so lol fml, anyways I got a lot of great ideas and it should help me on my build so thanks for that. Congrats on the 9s! Awesome and beautiful car man.

Do you care to show a pic of your drain line from your turbo? Im having trouble coming up with a good drain on mine with my topmount and backdoor intercooler and now the turbo has started smoking pretty bad.

So I don't really post to many updates on my car as I have been out running it, testing it and making changes but I think I will post some updates as I am making some big changes.
I sold all of my Hondata stuff and have decided to go the Motec route. So one of the first things I did was start by removing about 25 pounds of engine harness and body harness out of the car. I also pulled the motor and basically everything out of the bay. I am going to be replacing the rod and main bearings and just giving the motor a nice little check up.
It's been about 6 years since I shaved and sprayed my bay so I figured I would get it all prepped and spray it again.
Good thing Joe has done these setups plenty of times and knew exactly what is needed to get the car up and going. Joe worked with Rywire to get my harness perfect for not only everything I need now but made sure to add things that may come in the future, good planning went into this harness, thanks Joe!

Joe is giving me a great deal on one of his M400's. Maybe in the future I can go up in the series but just getting Motec set up, being able to run a strain gage, launch control etc. is getting me excited. I hope it makes a big difference over Hondata, which I'm sure it will.

Instead of going up in the series I'd recommend going to M1 platform. It's light years beyond the M#00 boxes. I've had the m150 on my DC2 for almost a year now and I love it. I'll never use anything else.
