ill do my best, right now the issue is the clutch, once i get that squared away ive got no worries. i really hope the tranny and axles hold up well. and ill be back with some dyno sheets within a week cus its getting dyno-tuned and then on the 18th is a local car club dyno day so maybe ill turn the boost up a bit for a run or two. track times sometime in april.
what do you mean, look at spec? and whats better than act? more details needed lol

SPEC is a company that does clutches. if you go to www.horsepowerfreaks.com and go under civics you'll see 'em
me either, update later today, im tired right now.
ok update,
today wasnt too productive cus i was feeling kinda sick in the morning then had to run errands for my father.
called machine shop and the cylinder head wont be done till monday morning, big set back.
i got the manifolds off and out of the way, dropped the exhaust, got the accesories off and timing belt off, then removed the head, i put in the kms block guard and to make up for the difference in hole patterns between the head gasket and block guard, i set it in about 1/4"-5-16" so theres a pocket where the coolant can pool up and go wherever before the headgasket. oh and i put in the polyurethane motor mount inserts.
now- pics! yay

theyre small, but there are a lot of them. By putting the block guard down below the deck of the motor, you are allowing the water tho have a passage to the ports on the head after it goes through all of the holes. If you simply put it level with the deck, you would only have 4-5 of those small holes feeding the cylinder head.
mwahahah our block guards own! i knotice u have a d16, did it fit fine? they sent me a d16 and i returned it for a d17.
gearbox they are exactly 3/16", i tried drilling extra holes but wanst too succesful with the drill press so before i screwd it up i called taht quits and just installed it.

today was a mellow day, i took it easy and laid back a bit. i finished installing my boost gauge and installed my oil pressure gauge, i also got the damn rear motor mount insert in, and mounted the FMIC. i think im gonna mask off the word civic with the last c backwards and paint it black.
update, no new progress really, monday my grandfather who im close to was rushed to the hospital, ive been spending my spare time with him, wed. he passed (thank god it was peaceful and painless), i will resume after the wake and funeral. maybe sunday or monday.
things i did get done here and there.....
installed my new train horn, painted civic on the FMIC (it looks good, not ricey i think), installed rsx injectors, picked up the head-looks great now i gotta re-assemble it then the engines ready to go together again!!! yay, other than that a bunch of small things and electrical stuff is left.

Ive been getting a few things done on my car too.
I just got a Tial 44mm wastegate today, and ordered a Tial 50mm BOV.
Im trying to get mine running by the end of next week. It would be funny if both were up and running at the same time.
