...and yes -you can find honest black people that won't steal your motors.


So next up is:

Complete bottom end rebuild, new valve steam seals, new t/o bearing, new rubbers anywhere I can find to replace them and perhaps some bling up top (budget permitting). 8lbs of boost FTW. I'll try to update but it's been really hectic lately.

Perhaps.... a nasty flash. I'm not as white as it shows. Time for a new camera -the Sony DSC-P31 has performed beyond it's duty cycle.

YES!!! The Type R is coming back for moreeeeeeEE...We want up-to-date updates on your progress!!! Are you rebuilding the bottom end with...I forget what you had...was it factory internals that you had? Anyways, are you running pistons and rods with your rebuild? I'm starting to get warmed up to positive displacement superchargers on Hondas/Acuras, the instant throttle response and torque (what we needed!) is there and I'm sure it makes for a very very fun ride.

The motor is stock... spun a bearing I'm pretty confident. I'll probably just go oem on the bottom and work over the top. Stock bottom ends are good for 300whp. I'm shooting for around 275-285whp and 200+wtq. Should make my 2500lb car move ok. -It's always been a fun caR to drive.
