I appreciate it. Since this is a side project and 2jztraitorkidd is helping me out as a friend the shop stuff has to come first. I know that and he knows that I appreciate all the help he's given me on this thing. With Nopi coming up and all the cars that they were trying to get final preparations done so they would be ready for the Mainstream booth there just has not been time to fool with my motor recently. The head gasket is in. All that's left is to tear the short block back down, just to relube everything b/c it's been sitting built for about 2 months. Then put the head and block together and get it slapped in. Maybe another two weeks or so and we'll be ready to throw it on the dyno to get tuned. It's been an extreme excercise in patience that's for sure! I love my car and love driving it so to be without it for the amount of time I have has really sucked. Fortunately I have a car lot so I am not in a bind as far as having something to drive, the only thing is that everything that I drive sucks compared to my car! Mostly been driving, Cadillac's, Saturns, etc. generic shit.

[99SI]

[Vteckidd]

im tearing it down now :gasp:

[99SI]

damn it, I want to get excited but I'm afraid too. It's just too good to be real! lol. Give me a shout if you need a hand and I'll do what I can. BTW, glad to hear that the booth turned out good, the pics that have been posted looked nice. You were right, Ozzie's car will definately be a star that will show up that "other" car we talked about. lol.

[99SI]

PICS???????????????

[Vteckidd]

PICS MY ASS

[99SI]

DO IT BITCH! CUZ I SAID SO

[Vteckidd]

why are you online!

[99SI]

AND NO PICS OF UR ASS

[99SI]

lol, Jill is watching the Auburn game and getting on my nerves so I came in here and decided to see what's up.

[99SI]

The question is what the hell are you doing online? Don't you have a head to torque down or some cams to install or a flywheel and clutch or oil pump etc. etc. etc.

oil pump is already installed jackass

heads on , dynoing spoolins car now though, so that takes precedence.

750whp>190whp

it should be 90% together by tomrrow night, i plan on staying LATE

[99SI]

Yeah but I could kick Spoolins and your ass. Sounds good, I may ride up there tonight if you're going to be around late. Help you get finished, and keep you focused on the task at hand.

[99SI]

I must now give a big thanks to Darryl over at Gwinnet place Honda. Anybody that is in need of OEM Honda parts needs to check with them. I have checked with about eight different Honda and Acura dealers for an OEM headgasket for a Bseries DOHC VTEC motor. One Acura dealer in Macon had one in stock, the others had none. GPH had 3 in stock! Unless there is another SNAFU then all should be a go for picking up the engine Sunday, 10/8. There have been many delays in this project, from things that we found with the motor that we hadn't originally anticipated, to parts backorders, to people using MY HEADGASKET , etc. The way it always goes. But, it finally looks as if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Now I've got to try to find the time to do the install next week and get that bitch back up to the wonderful group of bastards at Mainstream Performance to get it tuned. I want to thank all the folks at Mainstream, specifically Mr. 2JZTRAITORKIDD, as they have put up with my shit and gone out of their way once again for a customer they know will always be a proud Mainstream supporter. Stay tuned, it may actually be finished soon!

[BABY J]

I am still hating!!!! LOL. That's good stuff Mike and Mike. I have been working w/ Colletti Motorsports in Ohio... that's the only decent shop close to Indianapolis. Man I miss home so much. I actually have not had a lot of time for racing, building, eating - sleeping --> hell I haven't had time for much at all other than wondering what suspension to throw under the EF since mine has went to crap lately. I will have my other block swapped in and tuned before I come back to ATL though. I can't wait to hear more about your project though Mike. And FUCK Loctite for being a traitor!!!! LOL. Naah, I am kidding - there is a boosted IS300 here (stock block) and let me say I can DEF see why people switch. To each his own. Missin you fuck tards - okay, that was a lil EMO. LMAO!!


Baby J

[99SI]

Damn fool, I thought you were dead. The headgasket got picked up today so unless something freak happens (why did I say that) it should be good to go tomorrow. Good to hear from you J, hopefully you'll be able to take a ride in the Si with the new motor before you go running accross the globe. Holla biatch

[Vteckidd]

everything is together, just got put the TB on

[JDMBeau]

pics man where the pics lol

[Vteckidd]

coming in a sec

[Vteckidd]

[JDMBeau]

looks good. looks almost like my longblock thus far.

oh and mike you need a better camera lol

[99SI]

Gee how long does it take for a header to get that coated in dust? lol. You can tell it's been sitting in the corner for a few minutes now. I have the longblock in the back of the car. I have to get my flywheel resurfaced and a few little miscellaneous odds and ends and it'll be time to get down to business, hopefully by the end of next weekend I will be able to have it in the chassis and ready to go back to mainstream for a new tune. I'll post some pics as it's going into the car.

[Vteckidd]

that header is STAINLESS STEEL, it doesnt rust

its just dust LOL

[BABY J]

LOL @ Mike. Why resuface it - just spring for the Fidanza and call it a day bro.

[99SI]

I'm not a baller like you. Not yet.

[BABY J]

I'm not a baller like you. Not yet.

LOL - I wish! HA HA. Do it once, do it right. Tell the lady that you want it for x-mas since it's right around the corner. Funny - I always tell people to "do it once, do it right" yet I gotta redo shit on the EF and EG b/c I was tryna rush years ago. All these years in the game I am JUST now tryna live by that creed.

[99SI]

There's nothing really wrong with the flywheel, I'm going to get it resurfaced since it's out of the car anyway. It would be nice to go with a lightweight flywheel but I'm not that concerned with it right now. I'm going to take it down to a local machine shop here in an hour or two. Besides, the flywheel on my B16, yeah, I spot welded the ring gear onto the flywheel b/c it had come off. lol. I pulled off the starter and just tried to space the spot welds as evenly as possibly around it. Talk about some ghetto fabrication, Mike pulled it off when I took the motor up and said, "What the fuck is that shit?" lol. Gotta do what you gotta do.

That's custom - 1 off shit. Can't just get shit like that off the net... you gotta know somebody. HA HA. Gotta have the hookup - Loctite wouldn't understand. LMAO!
