SO, I picked up a y8 vtec head this evening to begin the new project. I’m planning on converting my d16y7 that is currently in the car to a vtec motor, then adding some boost. This way, I can use a lot of the existing parts I already have without fully swapping to another series motor/trans. Keep an eye out here for updates on the project…and pics because it did happen…

And because of travelling and working from home this past year, I have hardly driven it. Well, I am now driving it daily and figured it’s time to start up a new car log. This will be similar to my old Evolution 8 log and Turbo Integra log. On to the news…I picked up a used set of Integra seats to start the car off. Took some steam cleaning and some scrubbing to get them clean but they are as good as new now. Click the pics below to see the pics of the car and the first project!
