Default Rebuilding the 300hp GSR (theives suck)

Ok, not 300 but if it had aftermarket cams & a bigger turbo she would've hit 300 :lol:
Pics first...info second....

01 - On the way home from Orlando


02 - How she sits for right now


03 - Who leaves a 90% of a built motor?


04 - At least they didn't cut any wires (they unplugged everything even in the engine bay, so makes my life somewhat easier)


05 - Who steals so much, and leaves a Skunk2 knob?


06 - Who goes through the trouble of stealing the GReddy badge?


07 - Who doesn't take a nice exhaust?


08 - Sexy lol


09 - Poor car


10 - Gonna try and protect what I can (Stage 1 protection lol)


11 - Ok real protection (Stage 2, of course lol)


How she used to look like ...






Anyways, got a call from my friend who recently moved up to Orlando, and he said the car was stolen, stripped, and recovered all within 24hrs. Threw me a price that I couldn't pass up so I took it ($1,000) and drove up there and hit HIN while I was up there. I knew it would be bad...but not that bad on the interior.

We took a loan out for it, so that gives me $3,500 extra to use on rebuilding it + the money I'm getting from FINALLY selling the other Civics. I want to see 350+whp considering he was hitting 285 on 13psi, stock cams, and the small T3/T4 GReddy gives with their kits.

Remaining Mods:
- ITR crankshaft
- Wiseco 8:6:1 low-compression pistons
- Bored block sleeved to 1mm overbore
- Ported & polished head
- Titanium valve springs & retainers
- *forget name* valves with 3-way valve job
- ACT stage 3 clutch
- Exedy 11-lb flywheel (I believe that's what I heard anyways)
- Skunk2 shift knob
- GReddy Evo exhaust
- JDM ITR radiator support (lol)
- JDM ITR grille
- JDM ITR fenders w/ sidemarkers
- 17" Tenzo's with brand new tires

Stolen Mods:
- T3/T4 turbo
- GReddy exhaust manifold
- 3" downpipe
- Intercooler, piping, and BOV
- Edelbrock Victor X intake manifold (i still have my skunk2 never used)
- Edelbrock throttle body
- MSD ignition setup
- Strut tower things
- OEM valve cover
- OEM camshafts & cam gears
- OEM guage cluster
- A-Pillar guages
- Tenzo-R racing seats
- Fuel pump
- Radiator & fans
- JDM ITR headlights (ouch to me on the $$ to replace)
- JDM ITR bumper & lip
- JDM ITR cf hood
- Fuel filter & FPR
- ECU w/ Hondata S200-B

Stupid Things Stolen:
- OEM clock
- A/C vents
- GReddy badge
- Lugnut key but left the wheels (that right there wins Darwin 2006)
- Clutch master cylinder & clutch pedal (wtf?)
- Nuts to hold taillight down but left the taillights (wtf?)

Oh well, most of it shouldn't be too hard considering they didn't cut any wires + I have a GSR to look off of if I get confused + have some friends with what I need so should take a couple months :what:

Greddy kits don't come with a T3/T4 and it won't fit unless you reflanged the manifold. They come with a TD-05 18G.

350 whp shouldn't be too hard to acheive with that kind of budget. Nice looking car before. Hope you can get it all back together and better than before.

Car did not have an alarm, and was not insured. Friend decided to sell to me so he would'nt have to deal with the car anymore
