Yeah I know. My o rings i just got that seal the valvetrain and head together were like 5 bucks each for four pieces and after looking around for weeks from different companies, no one makes them but honda, talk about lame. and good thing i found my keyway though....would have sucked if i lost it for good

Nice build. Nice f**king shop too...

 

[Max713]

Almost done tonight! Got everything in shy of the axles, lca's and coilovers. Went to start it up, turned over great, fuel supply is good, but no spark. I suspect I messed up the ground, any opinions would be greatly appreciated. On to the pics.

almost there

few bolts away from start-up

as it sits now

EDIT: Tial W.G. definitely wont clear the hood on the ebay drag mani, and I think greg sent me the wrong axles, they appear to be too short

 

[Max713]

Finished up the suspension.. god DAM is it low!

 

[Max713]

GOOD NEWS!

Figured out the problem:

new ecu on the way!


Also, the hood clears the WG, I didnt think it was going to!

 

[Max713]

Some FINAL e-bay pics

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Looks great man..!

 

[Max713]

Finished up the interior, for now. It will be seeing another autometer cobalt gauge(water temp)

had to do a little fabbing for a spot for the neptune.

And DONT make fun of my burn hole previous owner.

Id REALLY like some s2k seats and to recover the door panels in leather... but thats just me dreaming...
