Yeah, maybe just a bit. And welding up some needless holes in the firewall, rebuilding the wiring harness (to move the main fuse box into the passenger compartment), paint and generally make the engine bay easier spend time with.

Also adding a few Autometer gauges, a new Hondata S300, some race compound bushings for the HASport engine mounts, an ACT flywheel, a new DC 4-2-1 header, AEM cam gears, fuel rail & fuel pressure regulator, a weld-in oil pan baffle kit from Heeltoe, a relocated NRG-CELL battery also from Heeltoe, some 310 injectors and a Walbro 255 pump from TunerToys and a couple tricks I'm gonna keep to myself at the moment.

Oh, and a stock (for now) B20.

Got to go now. Bye.

 

keep us posted, looks like goos times.
ps i voted youd make it.

I think you can do it John!
Gonna take some hard long hours though!
You better be at cali!

 

Good day in the garage, today. It's still a shell, but its a better shell. Engine and wiring harness are closer to being useful. Front end and steering are rebuilt. Rear fenders rolled (with a BFH) for 225s. Fuel tank leak fixed, didn't have to empty a single fire extinguisher. Accidentally welded firewall hole for the speedo cable. Guess I won't be running the stock IP after all.

Weld, grind and paint engine bay tomorrow...

Thanks to:
• Aaron Bonk: engine stuff
• Sador Bota: rear fenders, rear susp., engine mounts
• Brandon: block off plate fab, Bota help, showing up to help a guy he's never met
• Rich Hayes: Steering rack, lower ball joints, fuel tank advise
• Doug Macmillan: wiring/ECU, OBD-this, OBD-that
• Kurt Niebuhr: Grinding, metal fab, killer photos
• My wife: putting up with me and all this race car stuff

 

Keep it up John!

 

Should have let me know John i would have thrown in a hand or two, if there's more work to be done you have the number

 

Thanks. I'm sure I'll taske you up on that.
