Its 4am over here and i still cant figure out what cam I want to run. At least I figured out what motor mounts Im buying.

 

im pretty sure something about that is not aloud. man it will be a whole lot easier on a hatch....i mean alot. just of the rear....its pretty gay cause of the curve that window has

 

yeah its on right now. The fitment isnt the best but it looks good though. i used some regular 10mm bolts i had laying around and they were perfect for it. Thanks again.

Damn man i wish i would know. My g.f had a really bad night last night she lost her cell phone at a Stevie B concert then when we went to go pick up her Integra from her aunts house we noticed someone crashed and pushed in her driver side quarter panel. I already bought her a new cell phone but now we gotta get her car fixed and who knows how much thats gonna cost us.

 

Thats some b/s man. I hate it when people do that **** and it always happends on the hardest part to fix. If you need any help Jesse let me know.

 

damn man that ****ing sucks.....someone hit my friends car like that bad. they hit so hard it move the car 3ft.

 

We went to a few body shops today and the lowest price we got quoted was to have the body work done at one place and have macco paint it. it would come out to 1200. Tuesday were gonna go to these Guatemalan dudes that painted my old hatch and see how much they charge us. Ill take a pic of the hit so you guys can see how bad it is.

 

Im making progress! Just got done ordering some parts, picking up my new transmission tomm and I cleaned up the car a bit. I'll post some pics after I sink my teeth into this car.

 

the ITR trans you told me about? be sure to post pics son.

 

Yeah, I talked him down a bit. I need to find some cams and a Performer X intake manifold.

 

Anyone know where I can find a deal on some cams? PM me if you know of any sales.

 

i can get you the mani.....for the gsr right?

 

Yeah. I want the Performer X, not the Victor X. I already have a Skunk2 Pro IM, but I want to have a better midrange which is why the Performer X is better.

 

my friend with the red hatch has the old school skunk2 mani and he made 213 or 215 and 161tq at chruchs....84mm gsr on stock cams

 

dang hatchy that sucks bro!

 

I keep finding sleeved gsr blocks. I want to build one but thats a lot of money to put into something that might fail on my after a while. That and I would have to build it myself. I need at least 45k miles out of it.

 

my homie has been driving this motor for two year straight it will if built right.

 

he may have been driving it for 2 years, but 45k miles is questionable..

 

Why so? I figured with the right amount of attention to detail and a non abusive life a honda motor should be able to last quite a while. Im probably gonna talk to a few ppl who have some before I make a decision.

 

i know that motor has a lot on it allready. the right amount i'll find out later. motor is still strong.

 

How is it driven though? Im sure it gets its legs stretched every now and again but how often and what are some concerns I should be looking into?

 

actually, it's just because the owner of the car in question is one of my good friends. not that the motor won't last, but it is one of those risks you take with a built motor. that same motor had the head rebuilt 2 or 3 times in 20k when it was still a 'stock' gsr lol.

not arguing that, but to say one will last just as long as another is bs when it comes to aftermarket parts. chances are it will last, but asking 45k out of a built motor can be questionable.

the largest concern is with whoever is building the bottom end. meticulous attention to detail and checking the tolerances constantly pay off big in the lifetime of a built motor.

 

i agree, i think tyree has passed that stage in his life. i'll be more worried about his car when he starts doing track days. but i asked him he said his est on the milage is 30k or so.

 

he needs to start doing track days so I have someone to go with. lol
technically that motor still shouldn't have had any head problems, especially not as many.. he drove it around at high rpm alot, but there was little harsh acceleration and it was fairly consistent revs(aside from when it got raced). although, I never heard what the problem(s) was that required the head to get rebuilt so much.

btw, call in sick and come up this weekend! lol

 

Well if I do this I plan on having it as 84mm*89mm, cylinders honed with a line hone to make sure everything is within spec, head with a 3 angle job, 68mm TB, 550cc inj, 2.5" exh sys, Im thinking about running with some RS Machine pistons, im unsure about the rods and cams. I dunno, odds in favor I will not do this. Most of the things I do with my car arent planned and come off the cuff. No boost though although I fight the urges daily.

 

n/a shaved bays look better IMO

boost is cool, but adds alot of clutter to an engine bay. that and for DD purposes n/a is more practical and less hassle. don't ask why I have a wrx though.. lol
