Default Got a new car, ready to boost the bitch 56k die

1998 Integra LS, black w/ tan interior. No Ac/Power steering. Skunk2 Drag coilovers. It's a Florida car, so no rust or anything. Got the bitch for 1500 bucks, complete car minus tranny and a blown engine. Also got a B16 head (no cam caps ) and a bunch of other ----.

Washed about 3 years worth of dirt/dust from it. it's been sitting since 2001

Fart can... Eh, it'll be gone in no time. What does a 2.5" Magnaflow exhaust sell for?

Cleaning the garage. Yes, an intercooler is a tool, and yes my garage is sponsered by Craftsman

This is why the bitch blew up in the first place. SRP 12.5:1 compression pistons w/ a b16 head. He told me it ran mint on 87 octane

That is all. Hopefully I'll get the title and have this bitch boost in a few weeks.

Colin, you're really cleaning up the garage. Thanks for storing the heater during the summer.

Just a headgasket, I guess. I checked the block/head for any physical damage and couldn't find any. Head and block are still square too, so I don't know what the hell was going on. The guy I bought it from was kinda a joke (lots of "Racer X Motorsports" stickers over the car, baby blue interior pieces).

Not bad for 1500. Another Holset'er. I can't wait to get my Holset and get it on my Z. I'd say take those pistons and get the tops machined off and just use them over again.

Hm... not a bad idea. I'd be down with like 9.5:1 compression, which wouldn't be that bad at all. They're SRP pistons though, so I don't know if I really want to run them..
