she's content being NA....next time the motor goes though, I'll probably be doing an LS swap.

I'd say that puppy is going to last a good long while! Probably do the LS swap in mine first to be honest, I'm in more of the danger zone for it then you.. haha

Woo! I got the Exhaust header on and all bolted up as well as the rocker assembly and cams installed. Valves are adjusted and valve cover is on. I'm SO close!!! Just gotta get the intake manifold on, plugs, coils, battery, and intake. :thumbup:

My shelf of parts is diminishing very quickly!

Car is ENTIRELY back together....... one issue though.....my starter is not engaging, so I think the solenoid is bad.....it just sits there and spins. My guess is it burned out/broke when I was trying to start my car with the engine locked up. Anyway, if someone has one that I can buy, let me know. I'm going to give Brad a call and see if he's got one laying around......

Well if all else fails, NAPA can have me a starter by tomorrow morning...so that's not terribly bad I guess. But I really would like to get one today if at all possible.

Just wait till I get pics up with the civic fog lights.....they look better than any other civic fog install I've ever seen and I am utilizing the factory rear window defrost switch by the cluster (that I normally did not have because I don't have a heated rear window) as my switch for the fog lights. I got a spare cruise switch and used the internals of the cruise switch and put them in the defrost switch, so now, like the cruise switch the defrost/fog switch is a normal on/off switch. It looks 100% OEM which is awesome
