No, that's kra95civic's car. I've never owned a 5th gen hatchback. All I drive now is the Camry.

Valve cover is finished. ITR valve springs are here. Still waiting on everything else except for the Benen fuel rail, which is not going to work for my setup. Moved my motor and turbo kit to my new house. Heres what the valve cover looks like. Thanks Spork!

Not sure yet. The motor has to be finished first. The biggest purchase is going to be the SC61. Two weeks from now I should be able to buy that if money goes as planned. Probably have another thousand more in parts to buy after that. Then I can start car shopping.

Thank you. I've also gotta thank GUNMETAL SI for cutting the VC out for my adjustable cam gears.

Did some more work on the motor today. Pulled the oil pump and water pump off today. Found one bolt loose on the water pump and two bolts loose on the oil pump. The front main seal was also trashed as is the water pump. These were the causes of the oil and coolant leak issues I was having with the motor. I wish the builder would have taken a little more time to address these. The oil pump was well within factory spec so just cleaned it up a bit. Once I get the time to pick up a water pump and a full gasket kit, I'll throw it all back together and get some new pics up. Thats all for now.
