Re: My Build Thread
I suck at reading sarcasm through text, but either way... I don't think I have the "best" car on any website. I like it, but it's such a subjective opinion... that it really doesn't matter.
Anyone can have a "best" car, really. It's down to their choices, opinions, and views. I'm sure Kenbo thinks his car is the "best"... which I'm totally comfortable with. In fact, I'm glad he thinks that, because no matter what I post... it's still his car and his money.

Re: My Build Thread
Thx bro....ya I got a buddy who has a shop and he said for $100 he would make me a custom box so the L7 would sit in the spare tire and everything would be flat and carpet and battery tie down...but he said he needs the car for a day or two and this is my DD and only car..so I need to figure that one out..But I am close to you. I live in buffalo, NY about 20 mins from the peace bridge

Re: My Build Thread
Ok guys got a little update for ya...First the block came in..here she is...I didn't end up buying that guys, b/c it had score marks up and down the walls...So I got this stock block that is going to get built...
I am doing .5mm overbore...75.5mm wisco pistons, K1 Forged Rods, 255 walbro Fuel pump, Action Stage 6 Dual Digrapham Clutch, Fidenza 9.5 lb Flywheel, installing SRT-4 injectors with clips, motor mount inserts, digital oil pressure gauge and a couple other things...
Here is the first pic of the block..Looks to be in good condition.
Dont mind the oil ontop of the pistons....the guy did that to see if the rings where shot or not...But doesn't matter to me...overbore and new pistons and rods...
Now here is the Oil sandwich, Oil pressure gauge and motor mount inserts
Here is my action stage 6 clutch...6 puck sprung....amazing clutch..only $365
Now here is the flywheel...Fidanza 9.5 lbs
Now here is everything togeather...gasket kit...everything
And finally J and L performance Racing Engines

Re: My Build Thread
Thx bro..Flywheel and clutch is at the machine shop..brought it today...Also gave him the $920 cash money for the 75.5mm Wisco Piston kit, K1 Rods and ACL bearing kit....He said another 10-14 days until its done...they have to knock the block for the bigger rods, do the overbore, clean,degrease and polish the whole block....and installed everything with griddle and finally balance everything...Now do understand some will say u dont need to balance a Honda crank...But to me the extra $100 is worth it....Im not putting all this money into it and not be 100% sure its all set to go...will have more updates once I get the block back.....STAY TUNED!!!!!!
