Okay, I am back and ready to finish this thing! Lemme get some of that motivation from the forum users :goodjob:



Here is the car when I first got it from my friends grandmother:

HAHA a picture of me back in 05 after I lowered it on some skunk2 coil-overs and got some FAT Fives:

Not too long, I blew the head gasket in the stock motor due to the fan relay going out. Here is a picture of me installing my high compression D16z6 that I got help building at a shop I worked at.

I came across a GSR engine for sale through a co-worker... I wanted a Type-R, so we took the GSR apart and got it machined and added B16 pistons, skunk2 cams and all OEM gaskets/seals.

It was here that I blew up my first engine (melted a rod bearing to the crank shaft). I was racing a local Turner Field event when I got the rod knock :(. It was time to take it apart and start the build:
