Assembled the starter this afternoon....

Then slid the solenoid and pinion/lower case on along with the planetary gears
.
.
Greased the assembly with Honda Moly

Installed the base plate and stator
.
.
And then topped it off with the mid and upper case
.
.

Thanks man. I get the carbon from dragonplate.com, hardware from McMaster Carr, and the washers are all custom made. Washers will be available for purchase through SoHonda Garage in the coming months. Just getting all our ducks in a row before launching the site and starting the product line

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Just a thought, bud...
It would be a wise idea to send your new throttle body (and possibly the intake manifold for port matching) out to a place that can Maxbore it. This would be a great way to get extra power without replacing the factory equipment. My K24A4 throttle body and RBC manifold are Maxbored on my EM2, and there was a significant difference in mid and high range power, without sacrificing anything in the low end.

Of course, matt! Already in the plans to have the throttle body, adapter, and manifold matched. I'm also going to do the port matching of the manifold to the head, but that will be done in-house
Just making sure, bud. I enjoyed the results from the work done to mine, so I thought I'd share.

Cause a new OEM (reman) starter is $200 and this didnt cost me anything but a fraction of the paint I already had from other projects. Kind of a no brainer...
Why replace something that isnt broken?

Love the avi dingo... I own a ACD.. Much dingo love, and if your baby is in a stoller and you walk by, the event will be as sick as this build! He just doesnt like stollers really...
Evan I looked at the em2 seats.. I forgot they had side impact air bags.. I saw the explosive symbol and quit.. maybe, just put the em2 seat in the hatch.. but that thing was heavy----lol

Hey guys! Been enjoying the car as much as possible on the daily before winter really sets in... It was super nice out today, around 65 degrees so I decided to clay and wax her
Love this DP Max Wax every time I use it. So smooth and buttery and results you just cant deny!

About to start doing work

Had some nibbles here and there. Waiting on some confirmation from a guy at the moment. We'll see. I'm starting to think if it doesn't sell soon I'll pull the insurance off it. Sell a few parts and garage it until I can really throw some money at.

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
I haven't been driving it much in the last 2-3 months. A day or two a week to work and back thats about it. The grand idea would be to sell the B and down the line get it sorted for a K series like everyone else wants to do!
