MuddyREX · 04-13-2007, 04:18 PM

You have a lift? Can I come over?

Tigawoods · 04-13-2007, 04:38 PM

oh no this is at a shop, we are good friends with them and have used them for the past 15 years so i dont have to pay garage time or anything. i might be able to hook you up though

Philly-Night-SR · 04-13-2007, 10:52 PM

geez is god himself dropping the motor in? why the hell is the lift so high?!? j/k good luck with the swap man

Tigawoods · 04-27-2007, 06:43 PM

havent updated on here in a while, well the original engine we had orders had a crack in the block, so we ordered a brand new rebuilt block for $4k. looks very clean just needs to be broken in pics up on tuesday or wednesday. this month i have had soooooo much bad luck w/ cars, this engine swap has taken way too long, i think getting it on tuesday, which is the first of the month is actually a good thing, starting fresh

ozthunder · 04-27-2007, 06:45 PM

Well at least its gettin somewhere, ya know? I'm lookin forward to seeing it out this summer!

Tigawoods · 04-27-2007, 06:50 PM

same man, come summer, im trying to invest a good amount of money and time into the car

ozthunder · 04-27-2007, 07:01 PM

Yea..my summers gonna be spent under the hood on the off days..I can't wait. Especially to have money to put into it!

Tigawoods · 04-27-2007, 08:02 PM

yeah, being a h.s. senior sucks, prom, limos, senior week, and other stuff, im broke, im actually craking into my savings account topay for that stuff

ozthunder · 04-28-2007, 08:52 AM

lol, don't eat. Being in college is the same boss. I refuse to eat anything outside of what I had in my house...

Needless to say...saltines + tobasco= great freakin meal!

Tigawoods · 04-28-2007, 11:19 AM

i'll take note of that, maybe do some restaurant hopping, grabbing some free saltines

Tigawoods · 05-01-2007, 03:47 PM

getting my car is delayed till' tommorow at 4 due to test runs and the dyno

Tigawoods · 05-02-2007, 06:20 PM

well i got my baby back here are some quick snapshots

here is the old block

CHAOS · 05-02-2007, 06:42 PM

so fresh, so clean

Tigawoods · 05-16-2007, 08:27 PM

i read an ariticle in a recent issue of sport compact car and was inspired
http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/pr...ra_rsx_s_turbo
i was looking into a summer project to keep me busy. i want to look into the pros and cons of this and what i am going to get myself into. the basic idea is to cut the shape out and bend it down. the only cons i can think of are cracking of the paint when cutting, bending issues, and clearance between the bottom of the inlet and the engine (or above the intake where it will be) i would assume a carbon fiber hood would be easier to do this on due to its pliability, but if i were to get a plain cf hood i would just go with the gt-four hood if i were to spend money. i just wnat to try it on my oem

here is an example on a miata

you want to cut a vent into the stock hood?

a. it will give you 0 increase in performance
b. unless you know someone that does body work for a living, its going to end up looking like ass.

haha yeah i know just wanted more air flow to the intake. the project on the rsx was easier b/c it was a cf hood so they didnt have to worry about chipped paint and such

lagos · 05-17-2007, 02:06 PM

just get a short ram intake or a cold air one.

or buy my old intercooler and start putting together a 5sfTe

Tigawoods · 05-17-2007, 08:54 PM

i actually just ordered a sri today from a guy on 6gc.

Tigawoods · 09-04-2007, 10:14 AM
