Ok.. so I'm about 98% done with my motor build/install etc..
Here is what I've done in the past year.

[2.6.09]
So far I went out and bought Eagle Rods and Vitara Pistons.

When I bought the car:

[2.10.09]

Picked up a few goodies today!

 

[JosA]

[3.9.09]
Got some replica fogs mounted in!

Also picked up some HIDS

And relocated my boost gauge

[3.11.09]

[3.12.09]
"License Plate Tilt"

[6.2.09]
Ok. So I went to RedZone to get my NEW turbo setup installed (Spoolin' Performance log manifold, 2.5" downpipe, dump tube).

We ran into a little trouble getting my old Turbonetics Delta wastegate on. So I had to buy a new one. So I ended up getting a TiAL .6 bar wastegate.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, this is from my phone.

[6.15.09]
Cleaned the rims

[11.5.09]

And my long term D15B build up

[12.3.09]
Finally got my block back from the machine shop.

[12.8.09]
I decided to spend a little money and tune my current motor.
It runs A LOT better. Perfect A/Fs in idle, and cruise.

Setup:

Bone Stock D16Z6 w/ 230k miles. Leaking oil everywhere.

Spoolin' Performance Log Manifold
Spoolin' Performance 2.5" DP
RedZone Built 2.5" exhaust
Tial 38mm WG w/ .6bar spring
Garrett 50 Trim
Tuner Toys 550cc Injectors

ARP Studs

[12.26.09]

One step closer!!
Got the pistons/rods installed and bolts torqued TO SPEC!
Enjoy!

Pretty close! I decided not to notch the girdle.

[1.4.10]
Decided to work on a little bit of the suspension.
Still ordering motor parts. But just small stuff.

Godspeed SS coilovers (they look really good btw.) and Blox LCAs.

[1.14.10]
I figured since I have their coilover setup, why not get more suspension stuff from them.

 

[98CiviCn00b]

edit...have a mod remove my post when you start upping pics

[2.8.10]

I traded the old Rota MSRs for some clean white Rota Slipstreams.

I also picked up a fresh d16z6 head from the machine shop.
Rebuilt to OEM spec from APM in Morgan Hill

Just got my brand new Gates water pump today!! :greenmunch)

[2.10.10]
I picked up a 95 Civic LX 4 door arm rest.
It looked like this when I first got it:

Ugly, and tan/brown!

Decided to use ultra flat black with Fusion for plastic (I should have used flat black or semi-gloss but w/e)
End result:

[2.16.10]
I went to Home Depot the other day and grabbed four 2" knock out plugs and sprayed them flat black. They fit perfect where the center caps USED to be.

I also grabbed some black lug nuts from ebay.

 

[JosA]

[3.22.10]
I finished up the long block and repainted it. I also got new hardware for the motor.

Money shots!

[4.2.10]
Picked up a Blox intake manifold.
Cleaned it up and painted it. Looks real clean $$

Also painted my vented valve cover.

-Got the motor done.
-Car is sitting about 4feet high on jack stands.
-Wire harness tuck in the works.
