**UPDATE**

So Saturday i did some WORK on the teg... thank god its getting warmer~

SO even after replacing my CAM plug a while back... it cut down my oil leak for a while... but then it got worse than before i did the plug... so i decided to order a distributor o-ring, vtec solenoid gasket, valve cover gasket, spark plug tube seals, new spark plugs.. and get that s*** knocked out... so i can finally wash my engine bay and keep it clean...

I also ordered Type-R Honde emblems... and Amber corner lights to replace my clear corners... i got it all knocked out in 2 hours or so... all went well... and driving all weekend... still havent seen a drop of oil leak down the front of my tranny.... SUCCESS!

here are a couple pics.. tell me what ya think~

Pulled vavle cover, tube seals, pulled off distributor and vtec solenoid... here are pics of it all apart...




Here is the new amber corner lights....and the new emblems~

**UPDATE**

SO i got my Exedy Pro Kit clutch finally put in.... my clutch disc was down to the rivets and slipping... also had my rear main seal replaced with the transmission off already....FEELS LIKE A NEW CAR! Much better response and acceleration...

Also... a week after putting the clutch in... i came out for work on a Friday morning at 6:00am... last week... and my wheels and tires had been stolen... and my car was sitting on a cinder block and a big rock....and front rotors on the ground... needless to say... i was fukking pissed. What got me... was they were just my regular stock beat up LS MESHIES.... what a douche.

By 9:30 i was already on the road to head tyo Rolla, MO to pick up a set of ROTA BOOST wheels and tires that i found on craigslist.... and had tires and wheels back on the car by noon.... though i wasnt planning on having to spend that kind of money so unexpectedly...

here are a few pics... none of the clutch replacement... just the new wheels.

Here is how i found my car without tires and wheels...








Here is the new wheels~






And yes i know it needs a drop... but that is the least of my worries at this point... my "car money" is depleted for a moment lol.

**UPDATE**

SO i got the dreaded "STATE EMISSIONS" letter in the mail... so i was forced to start doing a bit more work on the WHIP. I had a CEL on for my promary O2 sensor... so i had it replaced... (no pics)... and i also replaced both front sway bar end links..... then i had a muffler shop weld up by newly purchased OBX muffler... which sounds great by the way.. very deep... not raspy or anything.... and they are great quality from what i could tell, very good looking and well built. here are a few pics...

*UPDATE*

Havent updated in a bit. I did pass my emissions test with no problems~ even after i put in some new sway bar links... im still getting an intermittent pop noise every now and again in the front end, when i hit the brakes hard.... or if i reverse out of a parking spot... then put it in first gear and accel... its like any type of harsh body movement like a quick accel from a stop... a quick brake... or even sometimes if a make a quick turn i will hear the pop... i will look into that soon enough... maybe a strut mount?

Other than that... today im getting my front wheel bearings replaced as well as the lower ball joints. My left front bearing is finally howling pretty good and its time to get r done~ Got 4 new tires a couple weeks back as well.... Kumho KH16's... definitely a good all season tire.

Ill most likely get an alignment done next week sometime after the front end work. Other than that... all is well... car is running and driving great... pulling strong still with almost 200k miles. Love my Teg~

More to come soon...

**UPDATE**

Small update here... Just wanted to say that after the front wheel bearings and ball joints were done... and the 4 new tires...it feels like a new car... front end finally feels how i think this car should feel... TIGHT!

Also... last night i went ahead and cleaned out all of the carbon buildup in the throttle body. Car running smooth as butter... and now the ride quality matches running quality. I feel im about done with this project finally... and have finally gotten this car into PRIME shape... inside and out basically... motor to chassis.
