Sorry for not puttin' any news up lately! Been really busy lately!
I updated the Piston Spec page, take a peep at it!
Ryan's car still is not done!! waiting on that bolt-in kit from Danny Reed...should be here by this weekend I hope!
Looking for some JDM "R" pistons for Dylan's motor...can't seem to locate any.
Erik loves his CRX even more...he's been smoking fools latley at the races.
Jeremy (aka Krinkov) got me my Rod/Crank/block gaskets for my BLACKSHEEP block....TITE!!!
Check out my newchin spoiler, it's a straight copy of a SPOON chin spoiler....Tite,eh??? I think so.
Lee slapped on Albert's black and red RNR's for a little while. Since Albert sold the 98' hatchback...
Sad but true...our EK is gone...but..there is hope...
Lee's brother (Johnny) just got "Seafoam"...our newest Tite Boyeee addtion.(pics soon)
It's that nasty-ass green color...but..dumped on SPOON SW-388's wheels! Very dope!
Well..auto-salon is coming up...and Joe-R made me head of getting that sh*t together..we'll see how well I do.

Got my B16A head from Terry on Friday (thanks!), and a 4-wire 02 sensor from Dan Phan today.(thanks!)
Also, found out that I am in the new person in charge of setting up the HYBRID MEET, according to Joe R!
Saw that movie "The Corruptor" yesterday, it's cool...nutin' super dope, but good action.
We need to sell Ryan's Bolt-in kit. We don't like it, so we're gonna go with a different setup, a friends prototype bolt-in kit.
Ryan's hurtin' right now, he's been out of a car for almost 2.5 weeks!
I am getting the SPOON part of the TB video ready as I am typing this BTW...
3/9/99
Dang, it's been a few days....sorry for not posting anything up lately.
As of this morning, Ryan installed his B16A with the help of Travis (local). Too bad they didn't film the install for the video!!! SO far the 'Place Racing' mounts work
(tranny mount) (timing belt mount)(Cut off front tranny mount)(moved over rear engine mount)
Speaking of video...I made got my copy of the new SPOON video...ohhh soo tite!!!
But don't worry ya'all the SPOON video WILL BE ON THE Tite Boyee tape!!!!
So, everybody (who gets the video) gets some love...not just us. Spreadn' the wealth n' stuff!
Well...Erik's car bones out!!! Looks like I did some good work on Rusty. Now, for some dyno time!
Dylan is still miserable...hasn't done jacksh*t about Speed Factor.
I picked up my finished B17 rods w/CTR pistons last Friday...pretty dope!!
I also took the 'BLACKSHEEP' block down to a friend...so that he could put my B16A3/1.7 parts together!
I still need to get some new rod/crank bearings. But at least the ball is rolling!
That's it for now....=)
3/4/99
Found out that Dylan's Spoon motor isn't a Type-R spoon motor yesterday (SUCKS!). It's actually a
JDM GSR block with a B16A head & R manifold. WITH Spoon merchandise on it. No R CAMS or Pistons.
So, Dylan is planning on rasing hell with Speed Factor (going out of business soon!)this coming weekend..
$8000 for a brand new engine is a lot of money for some buster-ass company to be playin' with.
Hopefully, the outcome will be in Dylan's favor after this weekend....
On a ligher note...
I finally started some work Blacksheep the other day!! Yep...I sure did!!!
I went to get my CTR pistons put on my B17 rods. The rod needed to get milled about 1mm
on either side of the B17 rod (where the wristpin goes) since B17 rods are thicker than 'R' rods.
I should be getting those back today sometime.
Then onto the next PHASE:
Disassemble my B16A3 block.
I'll have pics of my engine being put together sooner or later.
We got Ryan's flywheel back yesterday also.
So now, we got all his clutch components together: Dual Diaphram pressure plate, stock disk, about 12-13lb flywheel. Tonight we will be putting his engine back together & get it prepped for dropping in 'Snowflakes' engine bay.
Tonight, on Erik's CRX...
we're gonna slap in some used CTR cams (thanks Albert!), Skunkwork cam gears & thin headgasket...keep ya'll posted
That's it for now...

Well, Well, Well.....It's the 1st of the month.
Battle was pretty tite!! Most of us drove up there yesterday (Sunday 2/28/99). Except for Dylan (crybaby!!!)
I took some digital pics & Filmed for the video. Maybe some of you saw me.... I was carrying around a video camera
& wearing a pair of some dope ass old-school glasses (blue/white/red).
Got some footage of us up there along with some other things (chics were kinda tiiiite!)...
You couldn't miss us, we were in the pit area right next to PIT CREW!!! Erik's RHD CRX was gettin' all the attention!!.
It's too bad though....because all of us know the next time we go to Battle, somone else
will bite our JDM styles on another CRX ...but hopefully whoever does it will slap on some retarded ass
bodykit with MR2 tailights & Supra headlights (bleeech!), and demolish the JDM image it's suppose to have!!!
Anyways...Battle was cool. We took Angeles Crest up there & back home, and boyee was it fun!
Stephs car is freakin' nutz!!! APEX's 8 sec Skyline & Skunky's 12 sec runs I got on video...BAAAHHHH too much to list!
Go HERE to view pics I took at Battle...enjoy.
2/26/99
Well, we are all planning to hit up Battle this upcoming Sunday-(2/28/99)
Dylan may run Goldy for the 1st time ever...I doubt it though.
It's funny, Erik told me that some guy came up to him this past Sundayt
at the races & complimented his car due to my website!
Found some ITR cams for Ryan's B16 motor and still trying to locate
a lightened flywheel for him too....anyone got a 90-91 Integra lightened flywheel?
So, please stop emailin' me about em!!!!
There should be more in like 2 months. Sorry for the delay.
I'm getting way too many emails on those damn clips!!
It becomes overwhelming!
No more go away!!! jk! =)
That's if for now, have a nice weekend - See some of you at BATTLE! LATES!
2/24/99
Ryan and I are still trying to piece together his B16.
We got a new Dual Diaphram clutch for it yesterday.
Now, we would like to get the flywheel lightened down to about 12lbs
so we could get any tranny problems outta the way,
while the engine is out of Snowflake. We're also trying
to get an SiR shift linkage from Albert...(one of these days!)
Updated a few things on the JDM SPEC page. Added an "R" manifold upgrade
page, for those people with older B16A engines. Also, adjusted the Tite Boyee @ Large page.
We were filming up at Angeles Crest this past weekend. It was soo
much fun!!!
I'm trying to get a hold of some used ITR parts for Erik's Crx.
He'd like to go a little faster. So far, we acquired a Skunkworks headgasket
& cam sprockets. SAK15 aka Kevin is gonna hook us up with
some used ITR cams hopefully! Thanks SAKBOY!
