Guess I'll do a quick pictorial timeline here, and keep updating as I make progress with the build! I added some memorable pics from G2IC.com meets along the way as well, so enjoy (I hope!)

EDIT: UPDATED APR. 14TH

Pics on all pages.

Picked up the car in September '97, have to dig out my 4x4 pics from the boxes, will add when I find em!
Setting up the '01 BC/WA meet was fun:

Tossing on the Thermal 3" (plans to go turbo back then):

Hangin with Richie (IcEmAn):

Driving to MN, stopping in on the Winnipeg crew (2002):

Meeting with Mike and Darren (AsAsN, Integra_Pilot):

Getting ready for the 2002 meet (-=harookz=-, Integra_Pilot, Essence, and myself)

The meet (WA, BC, AB, QC rep'd 44 cars):

At the 2003 meet:

Re-creating the OEM lip from scratch:

March 04, replaced the exhaust, decide to stay NA:

En route to the 2004 meet:

A day at Integra_Pilot's place:

Build begins, Dec. 2004:

Feb. '05, picked up a P72 head from DAKey (Ky):

At the 2005 meet:

Started on the valve cover:

Then the first accident in Nov. '05:

But she came back better than ever!!:

Slowly accumulated parts:

2006 meet, back to where it all began (note shaved antenna!):

Cruisin' 06 to Cypress:

Headwork in 2006:

The much loved/hated change (test fit only, will start this part of the project in the spring):

Getting ready for the winter swap!:

Bumper, headlights off:

Radiator out:

Cross member, radius rods out:

Engine out the bottom!:

Empty bay:

Pushed out for a power wash:

Prepped for paint:

Painted engine bay, hood latch cable rerouted, cruise completely removed:

Manual rack ready to install, new inner/outer tie rods:

And where I'm at now, wiring the engine bay:

Progress today (29/01/07):

Tore down GSR manifold for cleaning, and thermal gasket installation when it arrives, port-matching the I/M to oversized T/B to come post-tune:

THE BOX OF OEM GOODNESS! ooohhhhh, thanks acuraoemparts.com :rockon:

The carnage (o-rings, gaskets, every visible bolt, thanks to .J. for that little detail of inspiration):

Studs installed to replace bolts for oilpan:

Oil pump test fitted (missing the o-ring, argh!):

Water pump installed:

Tensioner and spring:

Thermo switch (forgot the damn oil press. switch!):

Coolant pipe and thermostat housing:

Thermostat:

Head ready to go:

Valve seats in:

Valve stems in:

Have some OEM parts to order here before I can toss on the oil pump/pulley etc on, will be focusing on the car prep here in the next few days, as work permits! Fuel injectors ordered today as well, top secret on that front!

.
