Little Bastard: picture timeline
Nov 2003:
Found my project car sitting in the weeds at the back of our used car lot. 1991 Civic Std with a blown engine. The original plan was to build a street car that could be driven to the race track. That changed though, now it's more of a race car that gets driven on the street.

The original setup. D16Z6, eagle rods, srp pistons, block guard, t3t04e 60 trim. The way I notched the block.
The old motor coming out, the new one going in. (in no particular order) The d15b2 intake and exhaust looks odd on a z6, just ran it like that to get it through e-check. The vice grips were the only thing holding the distributor on for the testing.

Getting rid of all the extra, unneeded stuff. The dash that goes back in will just be a shell.
Taking several chopped up harnesses from work this is my version of a obd0-obd1, dpfi-mpfi, vtec conversion harness.

Making progress, started it for the first time on mpfi.
Aug 2005:
My laptop started acting weird evertime I plugged it into the cig lighter. Expecting it to be a voltage problem I checked the battery. 19.3 volts my meter said!!! No wonder, made in Cincinnati, nothing good can come from there.
OBX cam gear. The thing is solid as a rock.

26psi, stock 4-speed trans, 100+mph tire spin.
Got a slightly used 1990 Si transmission cheap. I've seen a lot of bad input shaft bearings, but none like this.
Added an obx lsd while I was in there.
Feb 2006:
The first gauge setup, had to change it for the cage.
A buddy gave me a sticker for it.

First runs on slicks. Spinning through 3rd, 22x13.
Here's a couple of the slower runs:

At this point there was about $4500 in the whole car.
