Thanks, bud.

Yeah, it was a nice setup for the trip down there and back. Funny that parts already existent on the car broke.

What would I rebuild?

Do you mean did I change the sub-frame or axles? If so, the answer is yes, since I kind of had to.

I fixed that issue with a length of 10 gauge wire, 4 eye loops, a handful of 10mm nuts and bolts, and some electrical tape. I haven't had the issue since.

Hahaha! Yeah, I'm quite busy. I've got un-packing and photo editing to do (over 500 photos).

I spent over 24 hours driving in the last 4 days. It's not the highest priority on my list.

Plus, I want my anti-sway's, HKS's, LCA's, rear-disc's, and rear camber kit before I really want to drive hardcore.

Kpro ECU, and I did it over the course of a month, while working full-time. And, was it easy? Far from it, due to busted parts, deadbeat sellers, and many other problems. I'll tell you what, though, it was 100% worth it. The car is so much fun to drive, and I enjoyed the process fully.

In all honesty, if you compare to other Honda engine swaps, this one is relatively easy.
