News:
The head was dropped off to get ported and polished on 03/11, after that it will be going to the machine shop to get the valve guides honed, a valve job done, and will be decked. I should be picking it up when I get back from my vacation. I also received my block back from ERL Performance on 03/15. When I get everything back, I'll be claying the motor to figure out if I can use an OEM thickness head gasket, or if I need something a little thicker.

Car History:
Bought used with 27k on it in July of 2004 from Honda Village in West Newton, MA (worst dealership ever). It replaced my 1991 VW 16v GTi.

In the beginning of December of 2004 I was hit by an inexperienced driver that didn't understand the concept of stop signs, turn signals, or which cars had the right of way. She t-boned me as I was turning left in front of her, which caused damage to my left rear door and quarter panel.

Within the first month of owning my car, I have been upgrading the audio system. It has been evolving slowly since then to what it is right now, but is still far from completion.
