Well I know I have plenty of time to do it, which it is going to take forever. Just got to be patient and make sure everything is done right.

I can't stay organized for along time, the longer a project takes me the more disorganized I get. I'm not much of a mechanic though, just try and save some money doing my own maintainace work. The hardest work I've does was take the cylnder block out to get it rebuilt, and reinstalled it. That was a bit over my head, but I had my dad's help. Was defianlty a good learning process.

Yeah I'm trying to stay organized but starting to struggle, it became a mess when the motor came out. Not a big deal as most of the stuff isnt going back in. Yeah it is a project taking a motor out, saves a ton of money doing it yourself though.

Haha the pic of you in the bay is awesome... wish someone would have taken a pic of me sitting in the bay with my BUTT on the radiator support and feet on the subframe taking the intake mani out...

The cylinder head is super dirty though.... even my B2 head with 233k is cleaner than that!

You have a build going on as well? And I may have gotten the hole shot, but its going to be a long time before its done.

Well, its good to see at least one of us is making progress. I'm still mapping everything out but my friend is gutting his RSX-S (discount parts for me! ) so I'm gonna steal a few cruical parts. The only thing that's holding me back is school and $$$.
