Oem Cap & Rotor and Oem oil pan gasket...I managed to install the cap and rotor tonight at work....I actually noticed a HUGE difference in performance. Before my car would stumble on acceleration and now it doesnt do it anymore...only took 2 pics

thanks, i miss my 5 speed civic ALOT, this car kinda takes the fun out of driving sometimes lol

***Finally got around to changing my oil pan and gasket, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE, i was all done and everything back on right, then I poured a quart of oil, then watched for leaks and saw none. Start the car up look underneath and oil is pouring out where the transmission meets the oil pan :shock:......So I had to pull everything back apart and take the oil pan back down. I checked the area where oild was pouring from and it turns out that i think it was pieces of the old gasket hardened up and got stuck on two of the studs.....took them off and everything is all good now but i need a header b/c one of the studs were stripped....now i have a small exhaust leak

NASTY!!!

Nice and clean-ISH

Im thinking about ordering a cheap stainless steel ebay header but im not sure how it will sound or affect performance since i have stock cat and cat-back....any input is appreciated!

Went to the junk yard on sunday and got some matching rear seats AND head rests for my front seats....everytime i go there i feel like collecting parts for a auto to manual swap but then i think about the work involved and my lack of time

Before

After

Probably not gonna put these on til tonight, if im in the mood since its raining

UPS just stopped by....

Yea yea yea, i know eBay headers aren't the best, but its temporary....

I love seeing build threads even though its looks more like a restoration thread. You're doing an awesome job. Maybe you'll end up keeping the G2 and maybe just doing a 5 speed swap.

great job restoring the teggy :thumbup:

Thanks

Tiny update.....Well last night i attempted to install the header but i think i messed up somewhere b/c the bottom half was hitting the oil pan so i took it back off and put the stock one back on and (i feel kinda stupid now) turns out that when i was installing the old one back a few weeks ago i used the impact gun on it and the nut just kept spinning, so last night i used the nuts (lol) from the new header and i turned them on with a ratchet instead of the impact and to my surprise...IT WENT ON!!....so now i dont have any more exhaust leaks.....here are a few pics i took of my dirty ass engine....

This thing is HEAVY as F**K compared to the eBay one lol

Notice anything out of the ordinary in this pic???
