Jealous of all that time spent redoing your bay. Looks good.

Aww shucks. You're making me blush LOL. Thanks dude.

Purchased my internals a couple hours ago!

YCP 75mm Vitara Pistons
Eagle Connecting Rods
Clevite Main, Rod and Thrust STD Bearings.

Can't wait to have this done!! It's almost there.

Today I finished with my first clearcoat. I need to purchase some more paint, because it seems I need to touch up some spots I missed. But it's getting there!







Also talked with my boss today about doing a bigger turbo. Since LoveFab's title sponsor for the Pikes Peak Program is Garrett, I possibly have the opportunity of upgrading to a bigger turbo, instead of using the tiny TD04L. Way too excited now!

GO with the garrett gt28 Which should be suitable fore your powerband and still have some good numbers!

That's exactly what I've been looking at for a while now! The GTX2860r. Perfect for my goals.

Also did a quick little photoshoot as well. From the left: my POS sedan winter beater, my civic, my good friends freshly rebuilt B18A1 DA Integra, and my other good buddies B16A HMO CRX.

Got my YCP 75mm Vitaras in!!


Took the rotating assembly today to the machinist to get the crank micropolished, and rebalanced for my Vitara setup


Then I just finished off the day touching up some spots with clear, and installing my brake booster.

I thought we met a couple years back at Honda Meet, I took Teal's car around the track during the parade lap photoshoot

iTrader: (1)

Oh I think I vaguely remember you! Back at WMHM12. Is that your RSX behing my buddies Integra?

iTrader: (1)

No, I didn't take my car out for the shoot.

Regardless, hope you're coming out this year. I'd love to see the car in person again after all this work
