Rep Power: 52   | I do everything myself, whether I've done it before or not. When I take on a project, I consume anything related so that I can be ready when the time comes. Information is your friend. I'm a 5, but I don't have the resources to do block work/machining past the light rebuild stage. I betcha Airjockie got some badass tools........... |

| Senior Member | 5. did my 5th gen hatch swap in less than 3.5 hours by myself (used a full size lift... i know its cheating). 2 years before that i pulled the orig. 70hp cx engine and rebuilt it cause i blew up the oil pump... dont try going backwards 5mph then dumping the clutch in 1st gear at extremely high rpms for um 15-20 secs. not good!  next project is t3/t4 hybrid custom turbo coming this spring. cant wait to tackle this project!! YES im using HONDATA with the works!! hello 12 sec 1/4 mile!

Rep Power: 102  | I am like a 4.5. I have rebuilt an entire lawnmower engine (minus the carb) and put it back togther in under an hour. I have only rebuilt one engine, but that was in my shop class on a 3.0 liter tarus engine. Since the thing was a POS to begin with, and it would never see a car again, I didn't really do the best of job. Missing a few bolts at the end, nothing trqed to spec, didn't care. If it was an engine that I really cared about, I think that I could do it.

[/b][/quote]I do everything but interior. I've replaced the stock seat covers before, and swapped my whole interior, but that doesn't mean I could design a new interior in leather and sew it together...... Body kits, done it Paint, done it Rebuild Engines, done it Motor Swaps, easy Wire Alarm, no prob I love doing everything myself. If I could only work at an upholstery shop for six months, I'd be set.
