Default EG MIKE 's --- EG BUILD THREAD ---- FINALLY ---- 6 years in the making --- CLICK THIS

HAHA a picture of me back in 05 after I lowered it on some skunk2 coil-overs and got some FAT Fives:



Not too long, I blew the head gasket in the stock motor due to the fan relay going out. Here is a picture of me installing my high compression D16z6 that I got help building at a shop I worked at.





Got me some Rota's a:



I came across a GSR engine for sale through a co-worker... I wanted a Type-R, so we took the GSR apart and got it machined and added B16 pistons, skunk2 cams and all OEM gaskets/seals.





While all these modification being made I was actively attending local Auto Cross events:





It was here that I blew up my first engine (melted a rod bearing to the crank shaft). I was racing a local Turner Field event when I got the rod knock . It was time to take it apart and start the build:

















Well I cannot find any pictures during the engine bay shaving . Oh well you get the point .









Off to paint @ Superstar Customs !



Getting another fresh layer of primer in the bay:



Finally some color











Interior getting primed:



So Bright! Can't wait to see it in the sun:
