Dang man.. Why havn't you posted picz up on TI yet?

So will it be ready to go in on Friday or what? I'm ready for some.. playtime.. with your new toy!

As far as what KMS did w/the packaging.. Its much worse than how you described it to me on the phone... Sorry man LS

BBUT.. BUT.. BUT...................... You have your engine now! If you wiretuck went good and you didnt cross anything, we shoudl be more than ready to go to the track on the 16 th

I predict 15.6-15.8 on the first run..High 14's by the end of the day.

Can't wait!

Andrew · 01-25-2007, 11:12 AM

Yo fool!!
You gotta get active on here dude

I think we should be able to drive it this weekend.
I picked up some oil last night, so the only other thing I'm missing right now is come colder spark plugs. I think if I can't get 7 range before the weekend I'll just run some GSR plugs(6 range) like Abel's(Taco15 btw) doing. If he can run gsr plugs no problem on his motor, I can too, cause it's about the same compression.

Aight... we'll see!

mac_24_seven · 01-25-2007, 12:02 PM

Hey, if nothin else, we'll snag the plugs out of my GSR and slap em in your engine. I wanna see it roll

BTW, thats 14 second run is with me driving

Hehehehe....

Andrew · 01-25-2007, 12:13 PM

Pshhh....

mac_24_seven · 01-25-2007, 12:56 PM

We need to get ahold of some drag radials.. We'd BOTH be in the 14's then w/out a doubt....

formby · 01-25-2007, 06:14 PM

but if he took it apart theyll say it was his doing.

klyph · 01-25-2007, 06:17 PM

At least he'll know if it's good. Saves him the trouble of doing the swap twice.

vtecsir1 · 01-25-2007, 07:13 PM

honda bond on the head gasket

pull the head bro, its easy as shit to re time it. i wouldnt put honda bond or silicon gasket on the head gasket but thats me.

i would check it thoroughly but then again i put together my own setup just so i knew it was done right.(no offense)

bistec · 01-25-2007, 07:28 PM

I hope your engine is fine and they did a great job with it. Good luck bro!

801CRX · 01-25-2007, 08:03 PM

Dude I hope they did better work on the internals than they did with the exterior.

And I hope itll run pretty smooth for ya!

Good luck

Andrew · 01-26-2007, 06:53 AM

I don't know if I'll mess with it. If it breaks, it breaks. I sue KMS, get some money back

.

I'm tempted to pull the head off and check it out, but I want my car running guys... bad. Hopefully you can understand how patient I've had to be thusfar, and now that my motor is in, I wait longer to put it in? no. It's going in today, and driving today.

Update later!!
Thanks guys. A lot.
Oh, btw, we just broke 12,000 views in this thread.

vanillakilla · 01-26-2007, 10:53 AM

don't open up the motor. If you open it and it later breaks KMS could blame you.

Andrew · 01-26-2007, 01:16 PM

Someone please be so kind as to delete every post starting with #345.

Thank you very much, and I'm glad to hear he's gone. That was getting old...

eg6sir · 01-26-2007, 01:18 PM

at least you get to keep your sig..

Andrew · 01-26-2007, 01:25 PM

Thanks for your time Formby.

I like my sig even more now, because of the story!

eg6sir · 01-26-2007, 01:31 PM

lets see that motor in your car now damnit!! do it, do eeiiit!

Andrew · 01-26-2007, 01:34 PM

I'm at school.. (so much for learning about turbojets)
I'll be home in about 1/2 an hour, and will get to work.
It'll be in and hopefully running today!

eg6sir · 01-26-2007, 01:39 PM

[homer] WOO HOO!![/homer]

E_SolSi · 01-26-2007, 01:44 PM

clean up finished

eg6sir · 01-26-2007, 01:47 PM

much better..

klyph · 01-26-2007, 02:04 PM

did you get ur VTAK plugz?

Andrew · 01-26-2007, 02:07 PM

Yep. I picked up some BKR6IEX's yesterday(GSR plugs).

I just got home, so I'll begin! Updates later

eg6sir · 01-26-2007, 02:09 PM

i dont see how the hell you spent $3600 on this.. for that you coulda dropped a JDM GSR in there.. but awesome none the less..

klyph · 01-26-2007, 02:19 PM

Yeah, but that doesn't include the cost of mounts, shift linkage, axles, ECU, and all the other nickle and dime shit that would make a GSR swap WAY more expensive.

you're not allowed to have an oppinion on this... your "swap" would be easier if you simply built a tube frame and bolted 78cvcc body panels to it
all those -40 degree days made you lose your damn mind
