8th Gen hello from a 8th gen owner.

[13whitesisedan]

So another update on the swap, after talking with my brother for several hours we are gonna take the car to his shop and finish the swap there. He is a mechanic at a import and domestic shop, and i now have most all the tools I will need so, having the help and the right lighting and having the tools will be a quick job. So a little after the first of the year it should be running. Then E-tune with Vit, maybe hit up humble performance and see what i put down on a dyno too(and see if tune can be touched up any)

But anyway how was everyone's Christmas?

Not everything was on Christmas but all of this is considered "presents"
I got 2 pairs of new shoes, me and the wife bought new cell phones, she bought me some carbon fiber wrap, I bought myself K24 timing chain, k24 dipstick, ZDX thermal TB gasket, SPC rear camber arms, Muteki lug nuts, Supertech Viton Valve Stem Seals, a craftsman 265 tool set, HPT valve spring compressor tool and got some goodies for winning 12 days of Christmas on another forum, a 9th civic lanyard, a Honda lanyard, Honda cell phone holder, Honda pen, Strut king 2012-2014 dead pedel set (I'm gonna sell it), Honda cup holder things, and Axion Industries license plate holder, skunk2 magnetic drain plugs

got this today

and the rest of this was im not sure when i got it.

Nice after you havr it for a little bit lmk how you like it.

 

[Dar-Dar]

So many goodies.

 

[13whitesisedan]

I know i still have some stuff on the way.
And once my car is driving again I'm gonna get new JDM taillights as I don't really like the ones I have and I'm having problems with them. then need to finish the headlight wiring and the new mirrors I'm gonna buy and I'll be plastidipping it until I can get the money to really paint it and have everything re-cleared

 

[13whitesisedan]

So my wheels are up for trade on facebook. Im just not trying to be stanced out. Form>function

 

[13whitesisedan]

Bout to pull

Pulled

Transmission off and ready for motor stand

Up on the stand getting broken down

Down to the block

Head torn apart.

So it looks like I was running lean for a long time lots of crusty sh!t on pistons, but the block was fine. And the head looks good but there is some more stuff needs broken down to tell. I'll be buying a wide band to monitor the A/F better, and a new O2 sensor, clutch was almost gone so new OEM replacement. And that's all for now

 

[13whitesisedan]
