This will be updated with the storyline of my progress
I bought this car in late 09, came with the turbo kit, back then i knew nothing about Hondas, or anything engine wise.
I ran into problems soon after, the headgasket blew and i ran it like that until the summer of '10. The head was warped pretty bad so all necessary machine work was done and i replaced the head gasket that summer.
After that it ran very badly, i took it to a local shop where it sat for 3 months, $1500 and a lot of new/replaced parts later i got it back. On the way home from the shop it started knocking. So from then on I vowed to only trust it all with my self and do the work myself.
Over the past year Ive been working, saving, learning, and accumulating the needed parts to rebuild it. As of now The engine is in the car, i need some small misc things to get here before i an break it in and get it tuned,

yeah diude, i started lookin for a car at the end of summer, was origionally looking for a 6th gen civic hatch, and never seen a jdm teg before, and i saw this on cl and jumped all over it , i started researching and found out that it was a STEAL for 4.2k lol

looks good! what happen to the original motor?

i am not shure i bought it a couple months ago with all this done to it(except for the lip, i fuked it up myself )
but either way ls is better for boost

i keep jumper cables in my engine bay because
1: i have a shitty battery
2: the only way to unlock my car is from the remote, the door lock rods were removed from the doors so you cant open it with a jimmy.....or a key haha
soo if my battery dies i cant get in my car
