Default DFR's EK hatch Build!

ok so the plan was to turn my dd. into a street/ track car, which is kinda difficult.
pics of the DD


at the moment it has a little sohc-t which is pretty fun, i came across an ls long block for cheap so picked it up.

then picked up this aswell

got to work on the engine..




so since i had decided i was going ls vtec i started to order goodies! from some vendors here.



and then i got an awsome deal on a complete car!



today the sohc swap got sold!!!


two hrs later engine was on the floor.



i will be updating as soon as the parts and progress gets done.
any comments suggestions are welcome
goal is to make 500whp on boost.

Got some more parts in this week 2011 is coming in goood :D
picked up an AEM fuel rail FPR n Steel braided line.


then i saw a what was supposed to be a CTR tranny for sale. took an hr drive to go see it and it ended up been an open diff tranny. only catch was it had no stamp on it just a YSK1 on it.... took a chance and bought the tranny for cheap came home and researched n the YSK1 only ment the casing stamp so after much researched i found a way to find out how to tell if its a ls or gsr tranny by turning the clutch and watchin the axel input ........long story short i got me a GSR tranny W shift linkage all for an awesome $180!!!!!




also a sneak peak at the eg hatch we are building at the shop aswell.

:naughtywave:
