So I installed the cluster and I think it looks FABULOUS. I cant believe the quality of Honda's OEM parts, just loving it :) It took me know more then 5 minutes to install, everything lined up correctly - all the bulbs, gauges everything is working perfectly fine...It's just to bad I can't rev past 7500rpm...cant wait to install my engine!! :)

and just for you WKZ I updated my signature again :P ..hahaha

^^ thanks for the compliment..I am no genius in this stuff..The real person to contact for building a Honda is Albertho or Toleg. they got alot of experience in Honda N/A motors. I think Alberto has over a decade of experience :D ...

and yes I am Pakistani - there is nothing to be offended about!! :D ..Pakistan Zindabad :D

MAJOR UPDATE, LOL:

So I got my engine installed :) I am super happy right now, words can't explain how much power my car has now MASHALLAH...now I know why Albertho is so addicted to the Type-R engine lol.

Anyways I still have to install a hole bunch of thing like my hytech headers, and some other random parts. But I am waiting on those things till I get my intake and take it for a tune.

At the moment I am having some problems with exhaust clearance, its rubbing against my rear sway bar, hence making a annoying clunking sound. I have to get that sorted out soon.

and here are the pics of the engine bay and the annnoying exhaust clearance problem...

i would suggest you to tighten/lift the exhaust a little bit (by using a smaller suspending rubber, or what ever its called...

Otherwise you could just wrap the sway bar with some kind of Styrofoam or something like the kind used on grips for barbells etc for a temporary solution, which wouldn't last very long with the heat...

Haven't updated this in a while....Bought some CTR rims from my friends shop. Unfortunalty they aren't in the best shape since the stupid japanese guy using them before used them as winter rims (had winter tires on them). But anyways the rims arent bent or out of shape, just the paint is worn out. I will be getting them sand blasted then re-painted championship white ;) ...also most likley the car will be going into the bodyshop over the winter so alot of updates to follow....
I also need to take pics of hole bunch of other shit lying around...:)
