Here are the rest of the pics.

That wire is for the electric oil pressure gauge. I decided to run it through the oil drain hole in the vc to keep it away from the belts, pulleys, and exhaust. It just so happened that the factory vc oil drain hole was perfect size for the wire and to stil have room for oil leaks to drain. But if anyone asks, it is for the hybrid vtec-mivec control system

Dude, that car is a complete beauty. You guys have a lot of access to the right tools to get the job done. I have to work on my shit in the GRASS with limited tools. One day I'll have that big house with that bigass garage.

I just want the fork lift!
But really your car is bad ass! And that "hybrid vtec-mivec control system" is friggin hilarious! Can't wait to get that on my car!

At this point, the car is complete and waiting on tags and state inspection. It has been a real project but nothing was really even done to the car in the past couple of months due to waiting for the tranny to be ready and engine to be built. Once we had those 2 major components, we jumped back into the car full force. 3 weeks ago, the block was sitting on the engine stand waiting to be assembled so we made good progress. Unfortunately, me and Justin(turbo1307) live 100 miles apart so we cant just get together everyday and work on it. All that you have seen is only working on weekends when we are both free. This past Saturday, we worked untill 1:45 am and the next morning, I was back at it by 6:45 am. I left Justin to get his much needed beauty sleep I, on the other hand, suffer from a mild case of insomnia so I was more than happy to get out of bed and go back to work. if I get a chance, I will post pics of the completed project tomorrow.

Thanks she is about to get even more empty and clean looking this winter.

Ahhh there is nothing wrong with that.

Here is a quik update though...
The car is down, I had an issue with the transmission, I think it is the valve body. But either way she has been good to me since we finished her and now its time to take her apart again. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to have her ready for next year.

Mind you I built this car to look good and go fast, and take it to car shows. I do take it out and beat on her like she should be. I didn't get a chance to get a dyno sheet or a time slip but that is the first thing on my list when I have her back up and running for next season. I did however manage to weigh her at Maryland Internatiional Raceway scale, she weighed in at 3445 with no driver or passanger.

Since we finished it, I had the interior done with sound system and other goodies, got the OMNI coilovers, and had the rims powder coated and painted, and picked up a carbon hood and trunk lid. (they will be installed on the car this winter) Thanks HiRevPerformance!

Here are some pics.

This is how the engine bay looks now, other then I changed the BOV.

This is with the OMNI coilover, the ride is way better and the rims.
Do not mind the graphics on the side, the car does not look like that anymore, I had it on there for business purpose.
