Like I said about 1000 miles, which should be about a month. I'll be driving it a LOT at first haha, I miss driving it. Just wanted to make sure stock was ok. 1000 miles then upgrade fuel system and pick up hondata system and turbo (from you probably)
Also update, got my Function Type 1 coil overs, and vtec subharness. Once this "big" snow we're supposed to get subsides and the weekend hits (45*) I'll be out getting the starter axle and everything buttoned up to have it brought to RC Autoworks to have them do my wiring and then we'll get it started. I'll be sure to post tons of pics and video lol

Got what work I could done today, nasty and rainy outside. I got the driver side axle installed, the suspension all put back together, started bolted in, and some hoses installed. All that's left is to put the shift linkage and exhaust together and I'm having it towed to RCAutoworks so they can finish the wiring.
Here is a few pictures from today
She's a dirty girl
Anybody know where these hook up to?

the water neck pipe goes to the heater core heres a pic.
the two nipples on the intake mani go to the brake booster and the fuel pressure regulator.
looks like all that snow ruined your parts bruh.

I'll have to block off the water line then cause I'm using a GSR head LS block so there is only one nipple on the water neck. And I have no heater core or heat! Haha, yeah the winter sucked. Also, that nipple on the back of the intake manifold, I see no other ports on the booster for that? I'm not talking about the big one, I'm talking about the little one in back

On the intake manifold I have the FPR is on the front of it, the rear one maybe I'll just cap off? Maybe it's for a vacuum block. What about that other water pipe should I block that off too?

Thanks! Today I got the front brakes on, the radiator in, and everything buttoned up to get it over to RC Autoworks (thanks to Bob for helping me get it off the tow dolly). Took a few pictures, car should be running and able to be driven home Wednesday. Then I'm going to install the new suspension, get it aligned, and begin the break in process.
Felt good to see it on the ground and outta the driveway. Up next - BOOST!

SHE LIVES! Today RC Autoworks waited for me to come by to fire it up, and she fired up without any kinks! Felt so good to see it all come together, got to drive it home. It was pretty hard not to lay into it, but I'm gonna make sure I take the time to break it in properly. Gotta get the bumper and headlights put back on then get my new coil overs on it. Turbo is on the way boys and girls.

It needs a valve adjustment for the ticking, but other than that she runs strong. Stay tuned
