Sub guys. I'd love to learn how to build an engine.

I **** how loosely the term 'rat' or 'ratty' gets thrown around. Yes, your mk1 is rusted to shit but that does not make it 'ratty.'

Yeah pretty much since "rat" became cool

When I think of a ratty car I think of chopped tops, big motors, and no exhaust. lol

Speaking of rods, Mike's truck came out fucking awesome.

Yeah. From the pics I've seen it looks pretty awesome. Needs some FMU stacks though.

I'm keen to learn to build my own engines, can save so much $$$$

What was wrong the the civic?

You got the Prelude running yet?

Civic needed a transmission, clutch, timing belt service, and cleaning. We tore it down, painted/polished everything, replaced what needed doing, and put it back together. Engine bay looks ten times better than before.

Prelude is coming out this week, spoke to the lady whose barn I have it stored in. She said I can park my POS Accord there until we get into our house in two months.

It's a hell of a learning experience. Takes lots of patients and deep pockets if you want to do it right. I spent close to $2k rebuilding the motor in my Prelude, and that was without re-ringing it (like I should have).

Yes, yes it did. I wish I was there to see it in person and congratulate him.

You are going to have a lot of fun rebuilding that. Not really. Doing engine work is a bear.


Speaking of, Friday night, I got my younger brother's Civic back together and running with him. Coilovers are on their way here now.

We built motors in school but never ran them after so who knows.

I def have the patience and the skill set to build a motor though. As long as I have a engine building book for specs and how to piece things together, the only other thing I would need is money. lol

I'd love to eventually build and boost the motor in my Kia. Forged rods and pistons alone go for 1k a piece, so a proper engine build on this car, with tuning, would run a pretty good deal of money. It's a long term goal. lol

Wrenching is a calming thing for me. I had some tunes on blast, a few cold beers, and a ton of motivation.

I can't wait to be in my own house and set up my own shop.
