No I dont think I want to see mario using his hands to play with any tool.
number one, he has a girlfriend to do that. number two, I don't want anyone having to make any unnessary trips to the ER.

Nice pickup man!!
PLEASE for the love of GOD, install those seats correctly!!! Make sure ALL 4 holes line up! Dont half-*** it like most of the idiots do.
Do it proper and you will be loving them more and more.

This list looks very long & expensive... But I'm only over my buget by about 800, when I add tuning & a new exaust setup, so I'm still pretty happy about this build so far.

I'm thinking about cutting the stock rsx rails with a dremel, and swapping in a set of teg rails welded on of course. Or getting some brackets bent to fit the teg mounting points, and then screwing them into the rsx brackets (don't really like this idea as its going to increase the height of the seats)
But on that note.......
Anyone up for a seat swap meet next sat, at my place(bathurst & lakeshore)??????
It would be in a heated underground garage, pizza & beer, Milk or juice for the underage/non-alcoholics.
Pm me for my address/contact info.

I may be down for some chilling. Depends what time i go get an O2 sensor done.
Parts list looks nice. Good job on saying "I want to build something " and then you actually go through with it.
Keep up the good work. MOAR UPDATES AS THEY COME

And Thanks, its seems like my winter beater turned into a project car overnight.
I promise lots more updates in the upcoming weeks. These hondas are much easier to work with, lots of parts are interchangeable without much custom work(except for my seats, lol).
I'm gonna try and do this build in 2 stages. Initially I'm looking for 175whp to 190whp with a good tune. But I would like to reliably see 285whp when I'm completely finished building this car. But the 2nd stage won't happen until maybe next january. If I do too much at once the gf will kill me.
My budget on the first part of my motor build is 3grand, but I think I am going to be over my budget when I need to get it tuned. And a few other skunk internals that have caught my eye.

DO NOT buy the block guard!!! For your power goals they are not necessary at all. They restrict coolant flow where you need it most and hold heat where you need it least, which is where the head contacts the block. They are only really necessary for dyno queen/drag motors making 400hp+.
Other than that, project looks like it's coming along nice! Keep us updated.

Thats very interesting you say that. I noticed a lot of guys running +14lbs of boost running these, I'm just wanted to put what I can into it now before I get to a point of where i'd like to add boost then have to go back and add one. But on a side note I also see a lot of people on stock blocks too so maybe I'll pass on this part.

A little trouble but not life ending. They went in much better with a few sets of hands
Initial view, these seats position you about half an inch higher in the car. less leg room in the back for passengers...But....
They are sooo very comfortable and inviting. Once heating is wired to the seats they will be great for any type of trip..
