thats it for right now guys ill try to stay on top of this as much as possible in between high school and work lol. if you guys see some stuff that im leaving out id appreciate it if you fill me in thanks!

 

Thats quite the parts list man. Do you have that stuff or that's just what you're going for? Any number goals? Check out my LSVT build in my signature.

 

yeah i have most of it already still need about another 3k to finish up lol im trying to get the car done by april 1st so i can run it at honda day lol. i just picked the car up about 3 weeks ago it has a single jingle in it as of now and its my daily so im trying to get all done in one weekend once i accumulate the rest of the parts. and power wise ahh idk yet id be happy for 500 on pump.

 

It's not a build thread withough pictures son! You definately did your homework, good for a 17 year old But IMO with your age, to me it seems more like a wish list. But we will see

 

haha im working on it and i have a fully built srt4 also lol which is also getting freshened up for this season but trust me not a wishlist lol and theres no mommy or daddy money invloved in this build

 

and where are you from i see suburbs of philly im from the philly suburbs also

 

No **** really? I'm from garnet valley near west chester. What about you?

 

do you ever come out to the meets?

 

Not really the one's that are out that way. Are you on tristatetuners?

 

what should i do about exhaust i was thinking straight pipe back from the downpipe with a vibrant muffler? any ideas guys?

 

ahh you should come on out sometimes and yeah but i hate it on there its nothing but a bunch of losers lmao

 

TST used to be really cool, but that was years ago, now it sucks kinda. I haven't been on TST in two years because of that. Once I get my teg done soon I'll come on out to a meet. Or if you need help with your build I'll lend a hand. Don't worry I'm not some creepy old guy haha I just turned 21.

As for exhaust I would buy a bunch of 3" SS piping of ebay or something an have an exhaust shop fab you up an exhaust.

 

LMAO cuz youre so much older u old fart u.

 

^^ lol I know, but he's in highschool. You know how most highschool kids are on here. Or in the honda game in general...

 

 

that is one of the things i hate about driving a honda actually its the only thing, i get no respect for the build just get classed into the retarded ricer category. people automatically assume i street race because they watched FNF. it doesnt help that 2 kids in civics were racing in toronto a few years back and crashed and killed a family in another vehicle. we have a street racing law now where if u are caught driving more than 50km over the limit u get charged with street racing, your car is impounded your license taken on the spot and u have to fight for them not to crush your car, thats right crush your car. anyhoo im rambling now lol. to the op please drive responsibly and keep it on the track, i know when i was 17 i thought i was mario f*cking andretti so good luck with the build and keep the shiny side up.

 

^^ :QFT: definately. All teenages drive like crazy ********. I want to strangle all of them haha. I never drove too crazy when I was a teenager, I kept it within limits.

 

Yeah. no kidding. It really makes us older farts who've been in this game a LOOOONG time look bad because of the next generation of honda owners that do exactly what you just described. Its no wonder my cars are seasonal.

Street races, crushed cars, incessant theft, jeez.. is it ever really worth it anymore?

I think I need a long-deserved vacation.

 

FIXED.

 

yeah trust me guys i know what your talking about i havent been in the game that long but i know what you guys are talking about. and trust me i dont fly around town and all that im more of the kid that everyone thinks is a geek because i spend all my time and money on my cars but in reality it keeps me out of trouble and gives me something to do instead of running around getting all ****ed up like most kids nowadays but for the old heads in the game i have the most upright respect for because you guys made the game what it is today even though the good side of the scene is dying off lol. like i said in previous posts i also own a built srt4 i know my limits on the street i mainly keep it at the track but i also like to have fun in the streets as everyone else does. but thanks for the input guys but lets keep it to the build side of this lol i could really use some help im not a honda tech yet so i could use as much help as possible lol

 

lmao sounds good man and yeah my buddy owns a fab shop so hell be fabbing me up my exhaust i just dont know what i should exactly do yet.

 

picked up a full ls for 100 bucks that supposably had no compression pulled the head off to find out it was just a faulty headgasket

decided to paint the block black

manley 9:0:1 pistons with manley h beam rods

head assembly

 

Good **** man

I recommend getting a bore gauge to make sure all the cylinders are in spec, that way you know if you can actually use the pistons you got, or if you need a hone or bore. Get a micrometer set too to measure the crank journals to see if it needs to be cut or just replaced.

Great start though!

 

already have lol theyre all within spec i just used a honer to clean up the walls so the new rings can seat themselves better

 

thats exactly what i plan to do to my car im not even gonna pull the motor, just do the pistons and rods right there, im pretty sure everything will be in spec cuz my motor is fine. im not even gonna touch the mains, just give her a bit of a ball hone make sure my clearances are good and put it back together.
