Names David, Sold my boosted ek and I'm now working on a 1990 civic wagon ls-vtec turbo.

Everything here has been copied from my other build thread on Tennspeed, so all of this has been done in the past month or so:

As of right now, I'm waitin on the block which I dropped of at the machine shop last week for a bore, hone, and rotating assembly balance. I should have the head all assembled by the end of the week. I'll be sure to take some pics. Anyways................

Got some pictures of the wagon and the parts I have accumulated over the past month or two. I'll keep you guys updated. :D

Ummm, not really sure. It was some guy from mt. juliet. All I know is that it needed some tlc. lol

And the cop is our sro officer at our school. He is really cool, all he does pretty much is hang in the shop and help us work on peoples cars. lol

Clipsed.............is this your old block??
I pretty much got everything from people here on hondamarketplace.

Lilfuzy..............I will definitely be there and have this beast done. My old car wasnt quite done when I was at summer IA, but it was done in the fall. had no hood. lol Some of you guys might have seen it. I miss it a lil, but I like having something new to work on. Here ares some pics of it. sold it with the track r's.

Nah man, didn't buy it from me. But seeing you have ALL the parts for your motor makes me want to HURRY! lolz I'm building an LS for turbo, no vtec for me. Your motor looks legit! I'll be building mine to make ~325hp/~300tq. Those are my power goals, HOWEVER, the motor is being built to handle much more power than that.
