many changes to come for this lude, I'm excited to get wrenching on it.

Went from the Kenwood unit that came with the car, to the stock unit - I like it a lot better

Need to order a pocket still, for now it's just an empty hole of wires

Also, finally got around to doing the final adjustments on the hood after letting the car sit outside uncovered for a few weeks - let the carbon fiber start to form with the car.

I need to get my drivers side headlight to ogsmakdade so he can plastic weld my top tab back on... that's why it sits in a little in this next photo;

For any that are curious, this is the cut piece from the Aero-Catch install;

Multiple hits with a tire iron and it was still smooth to the touch, all those marks are on the resin but not through to the surface!!

Received a little order from Crower, but they sent out two different versions and have yet to respond to any of my emails

I want two of the ones on the right, hopefully they fix this soon....

What i've been up to the past few weeks;

Drove to Maryland to do an H23 Vtec swap into a 4th gen

And did another H23 Vtec swap into a 5th gen

New DEPOG project car;
(photo cred - jake)

Worked on hood pins for another local 'luders car - made some temporary brackets as well as sourced some speaker issues among a few other odds and ends;

Went to a big Prelude meet in the mountains of Virginia;
(photo cred - julian)

(also swapped over to a set of stock wheels with new tires - the ADR's have bald summer tires)

Re-made a writeup on how to fix bumper sag on a 5th gen (i'll eventually transfer some writeups onto here)

And took a random photo;

Imported, so yes they were genuine low mileaged H23 vtec motors

Had to swap a bunch of stuff in order to make them work but worth it in the end seeing both cars drive off on their own power! I even got a single row crank pulley off the one for doing the swap for him
