Oh, its far from clean haha, wish the body was straight but for 400 I couldnt pass it up. The LS moves to my surprise. Of course It wont be like a gsr but the torque is definitely there. So far Im loving it, hopefully with the bolt ons I have in mind, I'll be able to make it move a little quicker.

Thanks man! Im happy with how far it came. Was losing motivation lol but thats why I like having a beat up car, there's always something I can do to improve it a little.

Hahaha I can relate, my dad thought I was crazy for trying to put an integra motor in without any experience and thought I wasnt capable of doing it. Long story short I proved him wrong lol. But he's an old school corolla guy so It didnt bother me since he didnt know how simple interchanging honda/acura motors are.

#303150 Back from the dead. Was losing interest in this thing but that spark came back.

Got my cat welded, and pics of how it sits:

With that being said, obviously it didnt make it to IA but I did snap two pics I thought civic-eg would like.

Really aggressive looking H2b, wasnt scared to flaunt what it was working with lol:

And a lonely yellow EG sitting in the middle of a near empty lot:

Now all I need is emissions and insurance. Getting my Koni/gc's back for 400, and picking up another set of wheels after.

#304967 Solved my revving problem. My cluster was reading wrong, I plugged my brother's in and it went straight to 7k. With that being said I bought one from a guy in Georgia and he shipped it assuring me that it works. So, 65 bucks later (a little steep if you ask me but i needed it) and waiting over a weekend it arrives at my house. I went and plugged it up assuming it would go all the way to 7k, which I was wrong. This cluster read worse then my other one and was off by way more. It goes up to 4.5k and stops. Now seller isn't giving full refund and I'm stuck with a messed up cluster and out of 65 dollars. Hopefully luck turns around for me soon.

On another note, should be getting a stock exhaust today.

Sorry for the lack of updates, graduating soon and have been busy with that.
