5/11/09: Today the Moroso oil pan arrives. It is pre-tapped for turbo and oil temp gauge. On top of that it sits higher then a stock pan which will help avoid bottoming out hopefully

5/15/09:Today the block arrived at Laskey. Upon inspection Mike discovers that my main journals are a little out of round. No big deal an align hone will solve this issue.

 

I also got around to painting my wiper arms. They were silver, now they are a nice black, nothing major but one of those little things that has been driving me nuts

5/27/09: Originally I was going to send a head out to Laskey to have it built by Portflow. However I came across a baller deal a couple weeks ago and passed it up. I thought that this deal would be gone in a matter of hours, however I was pleasantly suprised to find 3 weeks later it was still around. So instead of passing it up again I jumped on it.

 

Enough talking lets get to the specs and pics:

6/2/09: Game over!! Got word from Laskey today that the block I sent out is no good. So instead of trying to buy another block and paying to ship it out there I will just say fuck it and part my build out and sell my car.

 

damn you give up too easy. This is part of the car game, now plan B

No I have just gotten smart and realized that cars are fucking worthless. This is not the first time this has happened to me. You have no clue the shitty luck I have with cars. Hell just this past weekend the altenators went out on both my Integra and my beater car in back to back days.

Finish the build!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

 

dont throw all this away out of frustration, yes your right about cars not appreciating in value like a house but you have wanted this for ever and with a house you may not be able to do so again.

 

I calmed down, talked to the gf who encouraged me to finish the fucking car lol and have came to the conclusion that its party time. Mike Laskey is hooking me up with a block for basically free so I can finish the damn thing.

6/27/09: My buddy calls me because he totaled his DA integra after 900 miles after being built. Its not really what I had intended to run but for the price I couldnt pass it up. It will get me through this year and I will eventually upgrade. It includes the following:

 

Garrett 60-1 .70ar Turbo

RC Autoworks Ramhorn

Tial 38mm WG w/14lb spring

Precision 680 Injectors (Plan to upgrade)

3" Downpipe

Ebay Intercooler (Upgrading)

 

Enough talking lets get to the pics:

The turbo is rated to 575hp hopefully Evans can squeeze 25 extra whp out of his ass and get me to 600whp. I'd be happy with that.

7/10/09: I lead a pretty boring life and at random times I fill like working on my car. Well today that struck and I decided to fuck around with my valve cover. I sandblasted it, put it in primer and painted the spark plug cover. I would've painted the whole cover but I have to get it tapped with an fittings for a catch can first. Anyways heres some pics
