It's so you can drive your 800whp car with 120% tint on the front windshield on a dark and foggy road.

Well, the project was coming along fine, the other shell was in the paint shop getting sprayed, I had some money aside for a new Suspension... Then going for a normal drive (Well, normal for me) down to the beach, and I was feeling extra comfortable with beating on the car for some reason. Came out of a turn, and floored it, turned it 10,000RPM... And that's when I heard it, *BANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG* Oil Pressure went through the roof, and I knew what had happened... I had thrown a Rod Bearing.

I limped her home, and shut her down... This is when the project turns to the fun part. 20 minutes later, it's on the back of the flat bed heading over to MADSPEED (Local Honda/Acura Performance Shop... A friend of mine owns/operates it, so he always hears from me when fun stuff like this happens, haha). The motor is pulled, and the bottom end comes off... Everything's fine aside from ONE bearing that looked like it had never been changed with the others... No idea why not. Anyway, we changed blocks and I got a GSR bottom end with CTR Pistons (Civic Type-R, bumps Compression Ratio up to 13:1... Not a bad increase in power mind you), there goes my Suspension money, and now I've got some work to do. So we figured we may as well start tearing down the car for the shell change. So it's been an interesting past 3 days, I've gotten an average of 2 hours of sleep a day, and this is just the beginning of the project... God help me. [:@]

So we spent New Years Eve working on our cars until 5 in the Morning... Then I had a few drinks to knock off some of the stress. Fell asleep watching Dazed and Confused at a friends house while I had to listen to him and his girl get "busy" for an hour or so in the other room. Finally dragged my *** out of bed at 9:00, went back to my house grabbed a change of clothes, and headed over to help germancarmaniac change his Timing Belt... Stayed there until 1:30pm or so, and headed back to MADSPEED and worked until 12:00pm over there... Went back over to my friends house and stayed there until 3:00am helping him with his project... Went home, got some sleep, woke back up at 8:00am, headed BACK over to MADSPEED and had to get the wheel bearing changed on the hub I gave him... Came home at 11:00am, and slept until 9:00pm.
