Long story short... I went to Stickydiljoe's Year 9 Meet in SoCal in October and I spun a bearing on the way home. When I originally bought the caR the previous owner spun a bearing due to low oil. I had the crank checked, turned and took a chance. It only lasted 2 years (12k miles) but I beat on the motor everyday. I spun it at 8k in 5th gear (use your imagination lol) on the way back from SoCal. *shrug*

I ended up picking up a low mileage 98 spec R motor from my friend who got rear ended. He bought the long block from Rcrew a few months prior and only ran it for 2-3 months. Never even reached his first oil change.

Got the new swap in just in time for the plusONEcrew X ATS Garage 12th Annual Toy Drive.

I freshened the new swap up with the following:
JDM ITR 96 Spec Transmission (freshly rebuilt by Rcrew, new OEM 1-2, 3-4, 5-R synchros and an ATS 3rd)
ARP Cylinder Head Studs
Spoon Sports Head Gasket

I blew my ITR motor on Monday and that same week I threw a rod on my GSR.

I don't feel like talking about that though...

Ill make the rebuilds feel less painful by buying your spoon cluster

I'm glad to hear you were able to get the car up and running.

Let's get together soon.

Glad you were able to get it on the road quickly, love the simplicity.

Looks like you went with swapping the oil pump to USDM and USDM vtec solenoid...

I'm guessing it all worked well since I didnt hear from ya again!!

Good job, love your caR. I loved your IG vid of your Dad driving it and pulling into the lot. Looks so good. Hahaha I found the link, posted below. Hope you dont mind!

That's too bad about both cars' engines.

Nice list of spoon parts. Only thing you're missing are spoon driveshafts.
