So, I ended up selling the td04h turbo over the past week with hopes of finding something better. Sold the td04h, which needed a rebuild for $125 locally.

Also, bought a 2 month old Acura battery from my buddy parting out his RSX type S. I actually needed a new battery desperately as I couldn't leave my music/any lights (interior or exterior) on for 5 minutes without having the battery die (with the car not running of course). I ordered a Resistor box from a 95 Accord to use with my Rc's for $17, and will be meeting up with someone in Reading (about 45 minutes away) to buy a Rear disc brake set up and a 2.25'' hi flow cat! woot!

So, here's a quick little update. Over the past week, I bought a y7 oil pan, and rear disc swap from a 94 Civic EX that had ABS. I have painted all of the charge piping hi temp gloss black after sanding and priming. Also, I will be ordering the 40/40 prop valve from a wrecked EM1 by the end of the day.

I did a couple price quotes through my buddy who works at Firestone for new rotors, and pads all around. Including new rear brake lines, OEM rotors, and ceramic pads, the total will come to $160. I am not sure if I want to take a break with the turbo set up right now and get the brakes situated or not. We'll see what happens.

Pics will be up by the end of the weekend!

Nice job so far. but quick question, you planning on getting some different wheels or are you more concerned with the performance over the looks?

Performance is #1 right now. I will eventually get some GSR blades for rims and a simple lip kit, but that'll run me $550 total. I want to get the big things out of the way first. Plus, I actually like the slammed on stock hubs look.
