With so many spots that needed to be addressed in the engine bay it was hard to pick where to start. To break the ice I decided to start with a small first step of unshaving the headlight adjuster holes that I had accidentally shaved. Read more...

Even with the motor and transmission already pulled there was still a good chunk of parts that needed to be removed from the chassis. The ever growing parts pile. Read more...

The B20B I pulled out of the Civic was still perfectly healthy and didn’t really need much. But I figured why not go the extra mile and repaint it with some proper enamel since the original paint I sprayed had just about burnt off it, and I also wanted to replace a couple gaskets while I was at it.

Itching to take a break from all the metal work I’ve been doing on my XJ, I decided to start with the transmission for my civic. There’s nothing actually wrong with it, but I can’t resist adding an LSD to it. Read more...

At the last auto-x event I ran in, I managed to get the Integra up on two wheels not once, but twice.

I’ve been having a blast auto crossing the Integra. It doesn’t have the most power, and it’s got enough body roll to lift a rear tire when making tight turns but I feel like I’m learning a ton and slowly getting better too! Read more...

There’s a lot of rust on the driver side of my XJ, but it’s not as bad as the passenger side used to be. Back when I first began on phase 2 of the rust repair, I purposely started on the passenger side as I thought it’d be the easier of the two sides, but it turns out that wasn’t the case. Read more...

Having finished the passenger side, it was a little daunting looking at the completely untouched driver side knowing I had so much work ahead of me. I was a little worried I’d lose my motivation from analysis paralysis on where to start so I decided to dive right into it and start with the roof like I did on the passenger side. Read more...
