If they're carbed ludes, then they should be 1.8

Couple of pics to keep the thread alive...






Redid the return bung on pan..




Welded inside and out. Shitty welds by a buddy of mine

Yupp. lol. He really wanted to give his new welder a try. Just needed some adjustments on settins. Welds better now

Hey i hear ya, I'm excited to see this thing back up and running, you should get the IJ oil pan baffle for this thing while you have it apart, think its like 50$. I've noticed a huge difference just in my red prelude alone. Literally never lose oil pressure under hard cornering.

It's the only one I could find that I think will hold my power goals. Besides, don't know how much street time the car will see(besides "meets" )

Nice Clutch there! Can i haz it?

Yes, 250 shipped.

[MessyHonda]

what are your power goals? 300whp? how much boost?

[ShyBoyCA6]

is that a stage 3 clutch? doesn't sound bad for 250 haha.

[gfrg88]

500, and as much boost as it takes to get there

[gfrg88]

Idk what stage it is. It's higher than that. I pieced it together after talking to clutchnet. Here's what i got http://www.clutchnet.us/cart.php
