thats most of the stuff i have right now, i took of the ac system, including condenser, so thats stuffs for sale

ill take photos of the engine bay later, new ls engine installed has about 25,000 miles.
once i get the oil lines, and oil filter sandwich ill get this build started.

(does anybody know what i can use for gaskets, something that will tolerate high heat) thanks in advance...and hope you guys like. ill update weekly/daily

good start, only thing i can say is loose the wheels, the et is to much for that car, i drive a vw and thats even to much et for us guys, what are they 0et? also you might wanna ditch that mani and go with cast iron or if u have a welder make some supports on it, like i told someone else its gonna crack those manis are cheap, thats alot of weight for it to hold, what are you gonna be using for tuning and fuel?

also, you might wanna take that bov apart and take the smaller spring out they have too, and oil the shaft up, i am using one of those, and the vacuum would not pull it open, i took it apart and did what i said and its working, i am gonna be changing it soon though to a diverter valve cause i have to reroute my bov back into the intake since i have mass air

theres a place in hayward, ca where they tune pure hondas yay! and there going to do it on crome, but i want s200 but its too damn expensive. i know that manifold is weak. im going to take it to a welder for some hardcore braces.... you dont know if he welds little dimples everywhere will make it stronger or weaker? like weld beads. dude but the wheels catch really good, i can launch of 4k and it will grip. i out-launch a lot of hondas but then there vtec cracks on me and waw!

thanks for the input. there is a welding class at my community college, and its supposed to be one of the best. all new stuff and great techers, ill probably take it over the summer. my brother welds also. but those welding machines are pricey...im being funded my financial aid....heheheee....but so far ive only spent around 600...and the car was free. long story.

oh i c the blow off valve i got looks pretty good, it does have 2 springs and the diaphragm looks exactly like the original greddy one. but i have took it apart and i will sure do the spring removal.

I have the same manifold&downpipe as you :P and got about the same parts missing :P hope that it will hold together for atleast 2-4 month :P

if u make weld some good supports you should be fine, atleast for alil while anyways

hey... thats mean... yea. well hopefully thats enough time till i get better parts lol. thats the same amount of time im giving my turbo parts till they give out.

alright, ill take it to the welder sometime this week. i only got 2 bucks on me. and a lot of honda/acura parts for sale. nothing amazing just stuff i took off. or stock items. ugh i hate being poor.

im expecting the same out of them haha i only want them for summer i guess... i live in Quebec so winter is a big part here ;) so i want my setup to be up at the end of april till sept-nov, so i can go do a couple of drags here and then.
