Hi everyone! Glad to be here.
Do you have a coupe or sedan? I4 or V6? Stock, slammed, track car?

Hey everyone,

I'll start off with a basic intro. I'm in my early twenties, and work for the US Navy in California. I have a multitude of hobbies including: photography, game design, electronics, robotics, automotive, tabletop games, and more. Now to to meat of it.


My car, Loveless:
2012 Accord LX-S
-K24Z3 Fully Stock Internals
-Naturally Aspirated
-Short Ram Intake by Takeda
-Stock Exhaust (Obvously, cast in exhaust manifold prevents much from happening there.)
-Megan Racing EZ Street Coilovers
-Stock Camber Arms w/ -1 Camber Rear and 0 Camber Front (Factory Setting)
-Progress Auto Rear Sway Bar
-Drag DR38 17x7 Wheels w/ Yokohama YK580s
-Custom Front Grill by Me(Used the old grill and some basic fabrication tools to make a wire mesh grill. )
-Type R Emblem ( Authentic Honda Civic Type R Emblem off of a friends' old Type R.)
-Water Temp and Oil Pressure Mechanical Gauges

Plans
-K20A2 Cylinder Head Swap ( Ported, polished, and painted.)
-Forged Internals (Pistons and Connecting Rods) 9.0:1 Compression Ratio
-Valve Spring Set and Retainers by Skunk2
-Garret Turbo @ Somewhere between 10-15psi
-Larger Fuel Pump and Injectors w/ Fuel Rail
-72mm Throttlebody
-Intercooler and Larger Radiator
-Straight Pipe Exhaust
-Exhaust Silencer
-KPro ECU by Hondata
-18x8 (or 8.5) Volk Racing or Enkei Wheels w/ Yokohama YK580s
-Megan Racing Camber Kit (Rear ordered and on its way.)
-Megan Racing Race Spec Strut Tower Bar (Ordered and on its way.)
-Unorthodox Racing Lightweight Pulleys(Arrived but not installed.)

I love working on Loveless. I bought the car used with 14438 miles last June and every mile driven, modification, and oil change has been by my hands. Now it sits at 36524 and purrs like a mountain lion. I drive daily and race occasionally (downhill grade and mountain climb), and attend car shows in my area infrequently. My favorite drive is the south grade of Mt Palomar in Southern California.

I do all of the mechanical work on my car, save what is absolutely necessary by machine shop. (Valve jobs, Sleeving, Boring, etc)

I'm happy to be here and hang out, learn, or offer what meager experience I have.

My limiting factor right now is finding an RSX Type S K20A2 PRB Cylinder Head. If you have one, or know of one, please message me.

Cheers,

Corigne (Core - ig - nay)

Welcome to Our8thGens! Glad to have you here! As far as that turbo, there's only been one successful turbo coupe build so far on this platform. Good thing he's on our forum and Facebook group, he can probably help you with some things :)
