So I think I just about have everything I need now... except maybe a garage to work in.
My new engine: (4G63 6 bolt)
HKS 272 intake and exhaust cams, along with ferrea dual valve springs and titanium retainers, and ferrea oversized valves.
Head has been ported and polished, extrude honed. D shaped exhaust ports along with ARP manifold bolts.
Bolted down to the block with ARP hardware.
New Cam gears all lined up and ready to go.
Unorthodox racing lightweight pulleys
Moroso Oil Pan
Other parts you can't see:
JE 8.5:1 forged pistons hanging on billet crower rods, knife-edged crank.
Other parts hanging around. (AEM EMS, wideband O2 sensor, other Sensors and such, gauges, spark pugs, wires, new belts and tensioners all around, metal head gasket, 720 cc injectors... some other stuff)
And some more... (4 bolt rear end which includes rear diff, axels, and cups, and a 3 inch intake and filter)
I think I might have gotten a little crazy here.... especially since most of this stuff is sitting in my bedroom.
Piles of parts

Um, WOW. I think I just popped... Nice stuff there! Whenever you decide to start throwing the wrench in, let me know We've been talking about doing a install fest (at a real garage) and this would seem like a great car to have with us!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

lol, I wanna ride too!
Yeah, I really would enjoy the learning experience and having the joy and frustration of touching everything to make sure it's right, but with only a driveway to do work on, and it getting kinda cold and crappy outside... it is more likely that I'll look for a shop to do a lot of the work. It depends on what types of costs I'll be looking at and if I can find a place I trust... as well as how patient I can be while falling asleep with this beast in my room.
