I'm back in the thread for an update. After having a baby born into the world, I became a DADDY! A full time Daddy, a film maker, a TV program director, and an animation script writer and even shot a military video presentation for Thailand flying in the Black Hawk all over Thailand to get the footage I need. But the car is still my passion as well. It took a time out as I enjoyed my car's build over the next 2 years or so. But the time came again when I finally saved up enough side money from my responsibilities as a DAD to spend a bit....early christmas type of spend. I was able to do the car makeover and not affect any of my other savings and duties as a dad and as a film maker. Fast forward. The year is now 2013 and I made it past 2012...would have been a shame if the end of the world did come and all that work on the Integra goes down the tubes. Anyway, my dream was realized somewhere in the start of 2012 up to 2013 Valentines day. I made the jump to go full Carbon Fiber And to also upgrade the B20Vtec with new pistons (85mm CP Pistons 12.5 compression), new rods from Manley H beams, new rod bolts from Eagle, New water pump, new bushing for the rear Lower control arms, heck new control arms too while I was at it, New Mugen front slotted discs, New SEATS!!!!!! this time weight of each seat is at 4 kgs only and I made them special to conform to my body and the passenger one is a bit sunk in deeper and wider hipped incase I get fat, New Skunk 2 accessories, and other goodies. Currently I am running in the engine as I type this message and when I reach my run in distance, I will follow up on the tune at Porche/Jaguar PowerLab dyno to report the results. Hopefully if everything goes as planned, I want to at least have the same power as the Honda Mugen Civic RR advance experimental car at 260 HP and 230 nm Torque....But who knows....depending on how my mechanic had put things together and how conservative my tunner tunes my car for daily use and on pump gas, I might get more or less than expected. Oh and the Matte Satin black is all gone now...the only metallic part of the car is the roof the rear tail lid and the rear quarter panels all in super black. The rest is all carbon fiber molded parts. it raised the height of the car due to the loss of weight! But thats a good thing for a daily driving car over speed bumps, pot holes and extreme angles at car parks and high ramps.
12.5 compression CP 85mm pistons for the B20Vtec upgrade and Manley H rods
Starting to learn VTEC with the NSX
At the Garage while daddy and Mechanic are working on cars...Merlin begins his pre school classes in engine building and chassis construction.
Working on the family van
A pan of Pistons....at home its a pan of eggs or pancakes... so different locations have different meanings for the same words.
My constructor for my car is in the background and we show Merlin around and how Roll cages and Chassis are constructed.
Learning about top block and valve trains.
Lord VTEC...Mr. Rueng at the racing garage...Merlin learns about bottom block and hopefully he avoids looking at the nude calendar hanging on the wall...hehe.
