(7-24-2004) NOT-SO-RECENT NEWS I lost the engine yet again, this time due to an incorrect part installed by the guy that sold me the engine. How about a big hurrah for Kong Xiong of Fresno, CA. So anyway now the car is gone and I have moved on to an SC300. I'd like to thank everyone that helped me get to the point I did with the Integra, but the proverbial straw broke the camel's back and it had to go. (3-2004) Well I just got to rebuild by engine again. A rod bearing spun after 6000 miles. This is most likely attributed to the machinist that built the shortblock last time. This time around I built the entire motor myself, with the guidance of Stevie D at Perfect Autos in Lexington, KY. I can't thank them enough for their time, patience, and assistance.
