My 4dr GSR build

Recommended Posts

12/9/09: Yet another batch of OEM bolts has arrived lol. Believe it or not I had less then $3 bucks in this go around. These are the bolts for my water pump. After picking those up I came home and bolted the pump on, then went to autozone and picked up a Bosch oil filter. Might get around to putting my timing belt on tonight, depending on how motivated I feel.

Oh it will be getting that. I have my harness down in the basement, if I get too bored im gonna start untaping and unlooming it and start mocking it up on the motor. I have all the stuff to tuck it leftover from my gf's tuck, I had her buy double the needed supplies for a reason lmfao!!

12/10/09: Well I got another update for ya lol. About 4pm today I got a phone call from the powder coating shop letting me know my cover was done. Now I have never used this shop before so I was hoping for the best....and I am happy with the results!! I will be taking my motor mounts and oil pan in more then likely to have them color matched as well as my suspension to be powder coated.

 

If you need any stuff powder coated just pm me. I can prob get you a hookup on pricing. They have ovens big enough to do truck frames

12/26/09: Its time to start building a transmission!!! I picked up a GSR transmission tonight that has a bad 3rd gear slider. I am going to pick up another transmission later this month from another friend that has a LSD in it. Going to combine the 2 along with some other goodies and have 1 nice transmission lol. I'll post pics up tomorrow once daylight shows its face again

12/27/09: Today I put the Benen Industries fuel rail on the motor just for mock up. It will be going to the powder coater in the coming weeks. I also sprayed the transmission that I picked up yesterday down with some oven cleaner, let it soak for a while and then hosed it down. Pictures don't really do it any justice. Oh yeah tossed in a picture of the Go-Autoworks vacuum manifold as well.

haha its the best intake on th market for the price. I damn near bought the AIR Carbon Fiber intake til I called Endyn and they informed me they quit selling them due to them seperating at the runners. 1600 for a manifold that could potentially break doesnt seem like a part for me lol

1/5/10: Placed another order with local Honda dealer today. Just picking up stupid little odds and ends to finally wrap up the motor. Ordered thermostat and all the bolts to bolt it together and to the block. For anyone wondering why I am using oem Honda bolts, its because 1. They are the correct size, 2. They are brand new and 3. They are pennies on the dollar lol

People will always find something wrong with something. My last car a guy never one time told me I did a great job with detail, he said " Why would I have my engine bay painted so nice when its gets all oily" Fucking haters. On this other site im on, someone was picking on me because I bought name brand parts and how they would of done things different? I ended up checking out this guys car it was the biggest POS hack job ever, he was sho cheap he re'used someone else's old timing belt.

Yeah people suck is what I have gathered over the years. I was catching shit by someone because I am using a autozone tensioner instead of an "oem" one. They must not realize that Honda doesn't actually make their own fucking parts. They have sister companies that make everything for them down to the spark plug wires that come on factory cars lol.

:nono: people like him are the reason why our import communities have to prove our selves. i think most of our bad reps came from Columbus square days to the Sonic weekend meetings. all the nice imports were over run with crap, and high school kids speeding in parking lots.
