Ok, so I've been browsing the f/s forums forever on here. However, Nobody really knows who I am or what I'm all about. I'm 18, since ive been 17(when i bought my first car) I've owned quite a few cars. My first was a 1993 GMC Jimmy, it was fun and all, but i was tired of 4wd quick and wanted something fast. My next car was a 1991 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. When I first bought this car i was pretty ignorant and didnt know much. I quickly learned and over the next 4 months the car acquired a evoIII 16g, walbro 255lph, huge FMIC, S-AFC, 3in turbo back, datalogger, and all the typical mods. I never got a chance to take the car to teh track but basing off of how I did racing cars that had been to teh track it should have run somewhere around a 13.8 but a 14.1 would surprise me. I traded that straight up for a 1995 Integra LS for a DD with good gas mileage and reliability. I promptly crashed the Integra and the kid who got my car blew a coolant line on the highway and melted it. I then picked up a 1994 civic hatch CX that had been d16 swapped. When i bought it the car had a built motor including SRP pistons, SCAT rods, and ARP everything. Its best time was a 13.6@105 on 7lbs. The kid i bought it from had replaced teh valve cover gasket and stripped the bolt holes. I attempted to heli coil them but teh coil in that thin of metal cracked all 3 front mounting points. If you are familiar with the d16 you know that this also means it ruined the cam bearing caps. Time for a new head. 3 weeks ago i pulled it apart and began to put a new head on. After waiting for week on parts I finally got my head back from the machine shop. I did a completely stock head with a full valve job and hot tanking. I also ordered a GE head gasket in 76mm bore. a walbro 255lph HP fuel pump and a megan racing FPR. I also did all new brakes and a complete cooling system to be safe. I will have build pics up tommorow. Oh, I also purchased an Innovate wideband. I'm hoping with more fuel the car wil handel 14lbs and go mid 12s. Maybe faster. So theres my story. PS, i buy everything myself, incase any of you want to question where i get my money. I work like a dog and have nothing saved:cool:
