    Hey everyone, It's been some time since the last update. Not a whole lot has changed. Everything has been running pretty smooth. I decided I needed to fix a cam cap bolt hole that was striped out. While I was in there I figured I would get around to putting in the skunk2 cam gears and drop in...

    I agree. I didn't think the wheels were vastly different in diameter as well. IDK the wheels just feels perfect for my build. The s2000 wheel is nice but I liked that I could use a wheel that came for the most part factory for the Civic. There is a guy on EBAY (at least he sells them on there)...

    RPF1 are my favorite wheels. Right now I have ROTA Subzero's in a gunmetal finish with a polished lip. They came on my integra when I bought it. Figured I would use them until I get a forged wheel (The TE37's) I honestly don't really like silver for the color of my car. I wish I still had my red...

    I did swap on the Rota Subzeo's from my integra since it's going to slicks. I got some red lug nuts as well to add some style I guess to the outside. I'm hoping to have the TE37's fixed up and installed soon. I'm thinking about going with white, mag blue, or bronze/gold color. Just not sure what...

    I was on the fence with the AP1. I found one also 300 shipped in good shape. BUT! I don't have cruise control so it wasn't a problem for me. Next mods on the chop block are a GSR inake cam, Skunk2 adjustable cam gears, E85 and retune. Then the plan is to get the LHT treatment after I finish...

    Woke up a little early before heading to work and did the steering wheel installation. This is my favorite OEM steering wheel. I have it in both my Integra and Civic.

    Decided to take another look on the market for a JDM CTR steering wheel and I finally found one. Scooped it up for $300 shipped on ebay. Offered $265 and it was accepted with $35 shipping. Can't wait to get this in my car. I have the same wheel in my integra and I love the feel and the look.

    Turbo Rotary Mazda Minitruck Build

    What an awesome and interesting build to read up on. The craftsman work is amazing and the truss for the drivetrain is remarkable. Great job.

    Finally got another update for you guys. I know it's been a little while but the Integra is trying to take over with mods. I was on the fence about building a forged block or just s/c my current motor. I said F it and went for the install. I will just build a B20 block for it later on and send...

    Going to install the ITR transmission this week and possibly hit the track. S/c is going on soon. I just have to find the time. I've been getting the integra race car together lately. Trying to have it done for IFO this Nov.

    I feel you man. I'm in New Orleans. The humidity and heat are already coming around. Then it gets cool for a day and then hot. Good thing is it's crawfish season early! I've been cutting the grass every weekend already lol.

    Ok next modification was to the stock headlights. Seems that retrofitting headlights with projectors is pretty straightforward for us so I decided to finish up this project. I ordered a 55w HID conversion kit and also a projector retrofit kit. Awesome kit with a fair price. Will give you a...

    Thank you sir! 1554 is my favorite from New Belgium. Sorry to hear about your travel plans man. Probably would have been a great experience on St Patty's day. I'll be enjoying myself in the Irish channel here in my home city. It gets pretty rowdy here lol.

    Took some time today to try my hand at some vinyl on some interior trim parts. I think they came out pretty good. I know where I could have done batter but I'm happy with the results. So far I did the center and the vents on either side.

    Thanks and glad you guys are following. I plan on really tuning the motor n/a soon and then again after the s/c install. I will keep the thread updated as I go through the tuning process as well. I have a few decision to make. Decision 1 Option 1 - rebuild the LS/VTEC I pulled out of my...

    Thanks! Just trying to keep the build interesting. IFO is coming up March 12th and I want to make a pass on the nitrous plus itr trans and see what I can muster out. A friend has 24.5" slicks he would let me use them for the day but I want to see what I can do on the radials first.

    Thanks you! Should be a very fun daily. If I can break this thing into the 11's for a daily I would be plenty happy.
