Time to revive this, Since my last update i have hit a curb, lowered teh car, gotten GST wheels, 02-03 headlights, painted the grill, cut lower bars outta bumper, got a prelude lip, tucked my throttle cable, Put on my outlander mainfold with 72 TB, tinted the windows, and developed some serious rod knock. Sound productive. BUt here are some recent pics of stuff
35% tint of 3m color steble looks darker but still transmits light

This all came out when i bleed the lifters, i am eating a bearing somewhere and the shaveing are going into my fresh head, so good thing i caught it. Hopefully not to much damage is done to the head
And Day 1 worht of progress, tommorrow the head will come off.
Seeing bj's heads makes me not want to retrofit projectors in mine.

Nice progress, sorry to see about your motor though. Everything else looks good, and damn I love that hood on BJ's car. Looks so good Colormatched instead of CF, bcz it looks OEM for a sec, then your like "Oh wait a minute!" LOL!
I might have to get one of those one day now, SMH. Add it to the list of expenses I've already accrued...
So heres my update its been done for some time now. But I have a EGR code but its because of some wiresmissing contact or sumfin. but here we go
So basically when my orignal motor started making funny noises i said it was time to go(plus it was puking out metal shavings) I bought this junkyard motor the was compression tested with 170 across all 4 cylinders. I then swapped old head over to the newer motor, as my old head was ported. Then onto a Felpro MLS head gasket and ARP head studs. I have my prosport gauges.Note the 5 speed trans, the car is soooooo much funner to drive(meh at my poor english). The shifting seems notchy to me but that may just be me. But goes into gear and out with out noise. Just a few little things i want to tidy up and finish but it is 98% done to where i would not have to do anything at all besideds regular maintenance.
