damn just about the same damn thing i got going on in my house. BTW what kinda preload do you get on that crank after being assembled w/ caps and rods? ie’ can you turn it by hand or do you need like a 3/8" and some light pressure to turn it over? im getting a 50-150ftlbs preload. good shit ill post some pics when i get done w/ my build
Come on Steve, you gotta work faster than that 
Glad to see those spoon plugs are finally outta the box. They must’ve been in there for over 2.5yrs! But at least they are put to use unlike Ive’s cams, lol!!
If u need any help, just gimme a shout!
Sweet work Steve! Nice to see another OG keeping their car and updating it with some fancy mods. Fancy as your pants I might add.
Nate.
Hell yeah. I can’t believe I missed this thread. Keep up the good work!
more info/pics of the manual rack? where’d you get it? links?
Steve, let’s start cracking on 604/WA Annual meet 07!
Hope your build is going well. Mine’s on delay.
Let me know if you think of something good for our local annual meet. Paolo is thinking of something good to do this year also.
Nate! I dunno, I have some pretty fancy pants bro! haha, good to see you around still!
BGdubs92b17: Haven’t checked preload, but I can’t turn it by hand, you sure on the 150ft-lbs number? Seems pretty snug?
Jon, yup finally installed eh? haha, thanks for bringing 'em back for me bro! Will do on the help, looking at March to drop the motor in.
4sd4dr: it’s a Civic manual rack (88-91), i just used the Civic inners with DA outers.
Sun: what’s the delay! And annual meet, I’ll help if I can, not much free time these days though. Needs to be back at 30+ cars for sure.

WOW…What work. Keep the pics coming. Great job!
:salute:
I love seeing a polished engine 
Your paint is really clean! I think I may have met you at wcm2k3, I dont remember. Any chance youll be at WCM2k7 if it happens?
Thanks guys! Crappy part is waiting till the next day off to get any work done! haha …
Steve (great name btw :bowdown: ), I haven’t been to a WCM yet actually, I’ve been meaning to get to one … I’m dying to do the PCH route! As for the paint, 90% is pretty new (due to that accident) … the right quarter panel is getting that stoopid rust right where the bumper and panel meet (at the wheel well edge) so I’ll be replacing it in the summer. 
i am going to be getting started on just about the same thing here pretty soon … where did you get the new rad support when you got in your wreck ?
I’ve read there’s shimming and shit to do with the manual rack, that true?
91TegGS: the rad support came OEM from Acura, wasn’t too costly.
4sd4dr: Haven’t gotten that far with it yet, but it looks like I will need to.
Sneak peak update from today! Pic is crappy, snapped it quick:
Fuel tank is off getting hot-tanked, should get it back tomorrow ;).
Not to steal the tread, but what bumper is that on the car to the far left?? It is absolutly single handedly, the nicest front bumper I have seen on a G2 teg
Thanks,
John
wow steve, big rims?! :nana: looks nice.
sweeeeeeeeeet
so the sportmax’s are only for track? If that’s the case, get some stickier tires!!!
How do you the the BFG’s anyways?
im lovin this build and the car nice work bro…ps sweeeet wheels!:naughty:
Party_kid: Nate would know best, but I’m pretty sure it’s a custom bumper he bought, a DA bumper molded to an Infiniti lower I believe.
davidhtam: I have alot of work to do to get the 002’s to fit how I want, so I needed some wheels to have when the motor was done! haha … happened to come across the CE28N replicas for a good price so I jumped on em. Haven’t really had a chance to test out the BFG’s yet though.
Thanks for the comments all!
ps: anyone have a used LS headgasket for me?
nice work man, can’t wait to see it all finished! Now i just gotta finish mine, feels like it’ll never happen though lol
