It is probably more cost effective to just swap the ITR swap into your ls due to the up front costs of a k swap. But having completed a k24a2 swap into my integra, the k series are so much cheaper anymore.

I had a cracked block (oil pressure sensor port was overtightened) and decided it was best to ...

I attempted to rebuild all 4 of my calipers last year with the OEM rebuild kits. After having the car sit all winter I found a rear was slightly leaking from the piston seal this past weekend (at least I'm 3 for 4, haha!). I just ordered some rear replacements from Rockauto to get me by and I'm ...

Thanks for the kind comments on everything! It's definitely been a journey for a while, but it feels good to have it to the point where I can drive it.

I have driven it maybe 3 times around the block just to get it out. Still needs the exhaust welded up as well so the neighbors really love me when ...

Found a local franchise that sold me the new windshield and did the rest of the glass for a fairly reasonable price. Fortunately they sent out one of the most experienced tech's they had and he did a great job with everything. He was super careful with the paint and explained ...

After years of sitting in the shop and not a very good job of covering and protecting the seats, I decided it was time to give them a good cleaning.

You can see all of the darker dirt spots all over the bolsters here. This wasn't even the worst of it. I just didn't ...

Loaded up and heading to the dyno. I'm very fortunate to have a really good honda tuner local within 20 minutes of my house. The car was tuned by Corey Parish, the owner of Slowmotion Motorsports in Sunbury Ohio.

Fan switch in and connected. Had some trouble with the k tuned sensors that had some extra burs on the plastic. They wouldn't snap into the connector. After figuring out the issue a file solved it pretty quick.

Ordered ground lines for the car, but they ended up being too short for where I had everything located. Ended up buying 13ft. of battery cable and some clamp on ring connectors and made new myself. Wish I would have realized how easy/cheap this option was to begin with.
