Just need to finish ripping the block out, put the motor together, drop it in, and get it tuned. Shooting for the end of April, but with my schedule, who knows.
Sigh. Still have any major bits to buy? What're you driving around instead?

Only thing left to pick up are injectors (likely some 550's), need to step them up to feed the beast

I've been rocking the Tundra (2007 SR5) for the past year, gas in that thing sucks, literally. I really haven't put any priority into the Civic though to be honest, I've had a lot on my plate this past year and am finally getting to a point where I can put some time and work into the sedan. Once she's moving again I'll be completely reworking the suspension and brake components. Torn on whether or not to go disc in the rear, I like the drums back there and really don't see a point aside from aesthetics.

Really looking forward to rowing through the gears again

Yeah same actually. Discs look a hole lot better, and changing pads in them is so much easier than doing shoes. Mines up for a new set of shoes, so i'm going to have to make a decision ASAP haha.

Yeah, ease of maintenance and looks. But I find the drums to actually perform better (versus experience in a disc converted EF), maybe that's just personal preference though.

suja1 sonem bushings set or hard race bushings set.


i need help deciding which hard rubber bushing set to go with . my bushings have never been replaced so now is the time since the car is in pieces. I'm a motorsports n00b but im trying to freshen up the car's suspension at the moment. this is my full time daily(its down right now lol) I plan on getting my feet wet with some autox action this year. so basically i dont mind the harshness all i care about is getting out there on the weekends and having fun.


out the gate i know there is a big difference in price and parts count. my question is how was the customer service? and your review after the install any issues etc...

Rob actually helped me get those EDM mats because he passed on them. As far as finding my parts I have been searching and searching for the past couple of years
