Ok here is the progress, remember that TB from DH Racing (OMG THAT ****?!) lol, but yeah at least the TB is good. so I am gonna portmatch the Manifold to the TB which is 74mm at the bore and 65mm at the base, and etc. I still need to get the AEM fuel rail and regulator and convert the syetem to return fuel, but slowly its coming along. I even need to drill another hole and screw hole for the MAP sensor from my car. Hey its work , But I know it will be worth it.
Also the turbo kit I did buy from REDCHIRP, we think is gone, and FED EX its lost somewhere in Tampa. Craziness. I do get my money back though, from being insured, so I am piecing together a custom kit to do still within the $2000 budget. Hopeful, but I do have all the Greddy Emanage and the Profec E01 and boost controller. Just keeping you all up to date...take it easy guys (and girl) lol.

I am in Iraq right now and live in kansas but I grew up in the spring and make it out there quite a bit on the weekends. I have not had a chance to do much to the car since I have been in Iraq. I have been buyin up some things, but mostly I have been payin that big bill off! So far I got the tyc black housed headlights and some halo tails with the black background as well. I got a type R grill and front lip, I plan on leaveing those black. I will have the OEM sides and rear (non areo) in about a month or so. I am gona keep the 7 spokes cuz I like them, but I am goona get them poweder coated black. Planing a drop but have not deicied which way to go yet. Then it is time to save up for the K20

Good luck on the upgrades Kent. We all appreciate what you are doing out in the desert. I just recently left the Springs a few months ago to be stationed out in Germany.
To all the other guys. Still waiting on my car. I hear it's on a boat somewhere on the Atlantic right now. Once it gets here though I will be doing a massive amount of upgrades. Turbo, suspension, wheels and tires, etc. And the best news is that Hondata is working on a D17 right now to get their K series chip working in our cars.

OMG I am having bad luck lately! I drop my phone in the washer. The Venom manifold I won on ebay was for a B-series motor and the guy didn't know. I have the cold and the car is really dirty. I went on a stupid trip to Missouri to see my wives relatives and I freaking hate that place. Got a speeding ticket in Kansas along the way. Then I got into a traffic jam for 2 hours. Now, my son is sick and puked everywhere and the Gameboy advance I got for him on ebay is short three games from the five I was supposed to get. OMG I can't tak ethis anymore, it better get easier here soon. Jeebus. LOL just thought I would rant to you all.
(Oh yeah, and I still have no turbo kit!)

Let me guess you you got pulled over around Hays. If so those hi pos are dicks. My brother just a ticket out there on his way to our parents comin from the springs he was doin 90 in 70 ouch!
Sucks bad man. I've only ever made one trip across Kansas and I vowed never again. Fortunately I didn't get nailed at the Hays speed trap 'cause I was following about 1/2 mile behind a guy that was flying at 100.
Now I've just got to worry about the stupid traffic cameras out here in Germany. They take a picture of you and your license plate and you get a ticket by mail. Frees up the polizei to pull over drunk drivers I guess.

Focked in Kansas
Steve-O, man that sucks! Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. Those Kansas 5-0 are *********. My girlfriend's parents live in Wichita and we had to trek across almost the whole damn state going 75-80 and paranoid as hell!!! Oh well, I guess you can consider your fine a donation to the Kansas Dept of Transportation to keep their roads nice and smooth!
LOL
Hope things get better for you soon.

Well things seem to be turning around FINALLY! lol. I'm getting my money back from Derek (Seller of turbo kit lost by Fed ex) and will getting another Greddy Kit here soon. Hope that all works out, I like to get the same manufacturers when I am putting parts together (emanage, profec E01, etc) so they speak the same language. Also got bumped on the Venom manfold on ebay so its sold, yay! Trying to get the Skunk2 one for a lot less than retail and get that all hooked up. The AEM rail and regulator came and I got a VIS OEM hood one the way, so all in all so far so good. No to mention the freaking horrible bug
I had is gone, sheesh. Also I start my new Honda performance shop Job @ D&H Specialists here next week. So, I hope it all continues to go well, and thanks so much for all you comments and such, good to hear people still care out there!
Take it easy guys!
Laters ~Steve-o

finally got the Carbon fiber hood and trunk!
Well got the stuff on and it looks great! One thing though, I know it is hard to make good CF products but never listen to VIS when they say that these will bolt right on. HA! I had to really dremel and file alot of holes and stuff to get everything to fit perfect, but oh well. Here are the pics, enjoy!
