Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
anyone tried the exedy with the full disc? I THINK thats whats in my car now, I bought one years ago, how are they at holding power? with all the engine mods to my a20 I don't have a clue what I'll be be putting down, I figure at least 150, I can probably tune the SU's for better power later, but that would be a baseline, should be fun for a little car like this

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
Picked up the Skunk2 for the GSR engine, polished B16A2 fuel rail installed. Had the injectors cleaned, checked, and resealed. Just need to get me some new Cap screws to hold The Manifold on now, have ordered stainless cap screws for all the bolt on parts of the Engine - Vtec Solenoid, Cam Caps, Distributor, throttle body, etc. Phenolic Inlet Gasket is ready to go, next up is getting the Cambelt, water pump, etc changed out.
Being on a monthly paid Salary really sucks though..... wont be able to do much till the 15th of next month now.

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
Monthly Salary aint too bad, just means I spend my allowance for car parts on pay day and dream the rest of the month about what I'm to spend the next months allowance on.

Man I hated being paid monthly, but it was easier saving money though.I get paid every week now.So much better, but definitely waste way more money now.

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
i guess it wouldnt be too bad because you can just set aside the money you need for all of your bills for the month so you know exactly how much you have to spend, would just take a little more planning

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
I just have 3 bank accounts, one is my Savings, one is for Rent the other is for my weekly allowance. Just glad I have a fuel efficient Honda, otherwise I wouldn't have any money to play with by the next pay check.

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
then you'd need to balance the tires at ngoc for 10$ each to insure a smooth ride if the radio isnt on. haha. i didnt realize they needed the car there to do the estimate so i ended up walking home.

Unfortunately my harddrive crashed not once but twice this year, so I don't have any pictures of it new. Hers's how it is now, on a road trip in the middle of tx.

The car is clean and like dumada9 said. just stick around and help keep the thread active.
btw, is the car done or do you still have some future plans?
any pic of the rest of the car?

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
Yes future plans are a k24 built from the ground up, from the intake side through the exhaust manifold. Goal would be in the 300whp range on dynojet. As for the k20 in it now I'm pretty much done. I figure I could spend another 3-4 thousand and gain 10whp while on the stock bottom end. It's at that point where the money-whp ratio isn't in my favor. I would like to do direct port nitrous on it though just for fun. To the best of my knowledge I still hold the record at church automotive for most power made on a stock bottom end k20z3 n/a on 91.
