Well.... I guess i forgot to update my thread..
============================================================================================ 8-6-11
figure out a horn button - done, had a switch there for a while, then got donated a proper button.
Swapped the KYB's and Springs that were 4 months old for a set of coils, am now lower, and handle so much sharper, which makes it easier to dodge the potholes now.
Since last update, been on a few drives, KA24E is like a Steve Rogers pre-Captain America. It tries so hard, it give it all its got, then kinda falls on its face.
At Wallis Sands beach north of Hampton, NH.
One Swap meet in Holden Mass.
------------------------------------
Now then, the new stuff, and whats coming soon.
Old School Volk's 16x7 and 16x8 Staggered.
But, as they are five lug, i also have a 5-lug set that needs to go on.
And the biggie, will be going in next spring or over the winter:
Oil Cooler and remote oil filter block.
Super JDM side mount intercooler. I am well aware of the benefits of a FMIC setup, but i plan on a more subtle sidemount setup, with a nice quiet recirc bov. Want to try and make this as sleeper as i can. As is, the hood will be getting a repaint in red, too many red/black civics in my area...
Also, sleepy co-pilot #2 Maggie the GSD.
Will be doing some custom ducting for the SMIC, or mounting a fan to it, or both.
Did more driving. Hit the Kanc with some friends.
KA24E's and 9% grades, not the best of friends. Glad its SR time soon.
==================================================== 8-29-11
Well now, this build thread has certainly become a bit of a drive thread as the issues got hammered out.
The hood is red again, from far it looks great, but up close its blotchy and meh. It does its job for now, but will pull it apart and redo properly this winter. The Volk GR-C's look great on the car, and the new rear tires have more grip than a KAE can handle.

Did some Auto-X This last weekend, my 240 is set to under-steer naturally right now, this gives it a little more predictability for road courses, but doesn't really help much in Auto-X. Brand new Yoko Advan AD08's in the back with toasted Hankook all seasons in the front means every hard corner is a push under-steer. But, after a few runs, and since i don't care about my front tires, i just went with it and used the under-steer to keep revs up. I beat the piss outta my KA and it loved it, no temp spikes rough running or anything, actually seemed to pull a little harder later in the day, or that could have just been me getting more familiar with the car.
Up next in the handling department is certainly new front tires, but other expenses are all going to putting the SR in by spring.

Have a flywheel for my SR20, parts starting to roll in...
=========================================== 9-21-11
Pile of parts came in/were picked up today on project stockish sr20!
----
Got an igniter from a Q45 at a U-pull yard, yard people didn't know what it was, so i got it for free
, as i remember, this one is same part number as sr20
New DOHC dash cluster, so i can have a working tach~
Turbo lines!
CA18 injectors. My fuel rail is top feed and i have 720cc injectors, but im trying to get away without a tune at first so i needed something top feed and 370cc... CA18 it is.
Mad rusty turbo elbow, but it is needed, will deal with rust at some point in coming weeks:
Down Pipe of some aftermarket type, a little dented and scuffed but i cleaned it up a bit, will be getting some high temp paint to protect the metal.
And last but not least, a supposedly great condition T25, we'll see.
Oh, and last and certainly least... Stock intake pipe with spring thing!
================================================================ 1-25-11
Well, its been a while since I've updated. I picked up that bell housing i needed, sourced a power steering pump, bracket and pulley; and Ordered a mess of parts.
Also, my trusty KA-E has gone the way of tray of tacos at a fat guy convention:
Have my T25 mounted to my SR, with the ceramic coated manifold:
Got this for Christmas:
And this just came today:
It's ebay-tastic, and i have concerns about the BOV, but the piping looks solid, the core looks great, and is much larger than the stock side mount i was thinking about using.
============================================== 1-28-12
And now for something completely different...
============================================= 1-29-12
Bam, Sil40 time.
About that hole:
Backed with 1/8" weldable steel wrapped with saran wrap to form a base:
And the first layer of fiber glass:
Needs more resin, then more fiberglass, then more resin, then sanding and paint. Will be red to match the car, stealthy carbon fiber.
==========================================2-4-12
Today i built a wire harness for the silvia lights, made some leads for the fogs, which will be wired into the pop-up motor harness, so the pop-up button turns them on. And test mounted everything and pushed the car outside the garage for the first time in months.
Disregard the taped out rectangle, that's around the area im still patching.
==========================================2-5-12
Fiberglassing done, body filler in, now for it to dry and then sand down. Then some paint and will be good as new...
===========================================2-13-12
And now, the hole is patched, and the hood is one color.
Til i can track down a proper button. Works just fine but looks silly as all hell.
