I definitely would do the timing belt wouldn't worry about the the water pump I haven't seen one go on a honda with less than 200 thousand miles. I would grab a new tensioner cause some times sticking a new belt on the old tensioner will over load the tensioner and cause it to break in a couple weeks had that happen to me

As for sticking in a new cam grab some lock tite and hit that cam gear bolt make sure it's real tight. Also grab some RTV or hondabond and place a little underneath the rocker arm assembly at the ends were it bolts to the head by the cam seal and the seal by the cam gear about by the edges were the valve cover covers over the cam. Note: that it shows you where to put the the hondabond in the shop manual, but when you pull the valve cover you should be able to see where honda put some hondabond in from the factory. If you don't hit those spots you will leak oil from the valve cover. Clint had this problem for a while it was covered in his thread with some pics if you need a better idea of the spots I'm talking about.

update on my car,
I've taken the stage 2 out and dropped in the stage 3 (sooooooo Much smoother!!!!!!!!, a lot less problems) supposed to have dyno this past saturday but tensioner broke and busted 12 valves rebuilt motor and at the same time did uprated clutch 8.5lbs flywheel and LSD in my old ex trans got it all up and running felt so awesome.

Then something went in the trans yesterday evening so back to pulling the engine again everything should be up and running again soon and my new tune date is Wednesday, September 10

Hey Paul, Andy mentioned you were having a problem with the OBX LSD. What was it and how did you fix it? I'm looking to get one of these for my car.

[civic-driver]

is OBX making a lsd for our cars now? or is it along the lines of getting a honda fit lsd with a few fit parts?

It's the honda fit LSD it drops right in the only thing is that you have to use honda fit bolt because the diff is normal threaded cause of the fit spins in a different direction. were our diff has left hand threaded bolts.

I was having problems with fitting the axles in and getting them out. the quaife also has this problem but it does not seem as bad (andys axles are a bitch to get out and you need two people to get them back in). the problem is that the aftermarket diffs are machined tighter than the honda diffs. the honda diffs the splines inside the diff that the axles slide into are tapered so that when you slide the axle in it compress the little c-clip ring and it pops into place. were the aftermarket diffs are not tapered so you have take the ring on the end of the axles and bend it so it is tighter in order for the axles to slip in.

My biggest problem was that the ring caused the axle to get stuck and it would not go in all the way and I couldn't get it out. I had to have my buddy tow it to his lift stuck a 4 foot long crow bar on it started bending the bar. stuck a 1/2 ton spreader on it didn't do anything. I finnaly had to take the axle apart stick a piece of black steel gas pipe in the cup and beet it with a sledge with the spreader in wich cause the ring to do something then hook a slide hammer up to it and it came out.

I had to re-pull the axles today and did not have any problems. My biggest problem is that one of the bearings that holds the diff self-destructed I mean the thing fucking exploded I'll post a thread with pics once I find my camera but man it some gruesome carnage

No I do not have a PnP head I don't have the funds right the moment to drop $1200-$1500+ to get a head pnp'ed. And if I did it it would just be for kicks cause the plans for the car in a couple years would not allow me to run a PnP'ed head.

And No I don't have the piece of shit stock intake mani. I got rid of that a while ago I have the JDM Fabtech N/A Long tube Mani Prototype.

tuned on the only system worth tuning on Kpro FTMFW!!!

I should be able to make jeff evans dyno tune on the 10th hopefully
