Update 4.15.2013
Sent package one of two out to Tirado Custom Coatings today. All of these parts are going to be powder coated. I decided to do the compressor cover, IM, TB, and IC piping in crinkle coat black and the Tial BOV, FatFab catch can, and water catch can in gloss black.
I will be sending all of my 'hot' parts out on Thursday to Tirado to get ceramic coated gold. All of this should look pretty good with my hydro-dipped carbon fiber valve cover. I'm pretty pumped. I will post a TON of pics once I get them back from Tirado!
I spent all Saturday night tearing my entire engine harness out of the car and then apart to remove two connectors. Now that I will be rocking an EVO 8 head I do not need the MIVEC junk anymore. At first I was just going to cut the connectors and tape the wire into my already modified harness. But knowing the wire would be there bothered me so I did all of the work to get it done right. The pay off you ask....you might want to sit down! 3.0 ounces saved!! haha
I pick up all the other needed parts from Buschur this Wednesday. I am going to put the motor back together this Saturday and hope to have it in the car soon.

Update 4.17.2013
Picked up the rest of my parts from Buschur today. Thanks Ted for getting them all welded up and looking real nice like I can't wait to see all of these parts bolted up to the motor.
They will be boxed up and shipped out to Tirado tomorrow to get ceramic coated gold.
Here is a quick pic. Not the best quality pic but you get the idea:
I am on schedule to get the motor put together and in the car this weekend. More pics to come

Update 4.20.2013
Spent a couple hours out in the garage today. Got most of the long block put together. I am in need of one OEM cam gear still. If anyone has one please let me know I may buy it from ya. I need it asap. I'm also waiting on my valve cover to come back from Tirado so I can get the motor timed. If I have time tomorrow I am going to bolt the clutch and trans up and throw it in the car. That way I can at least get all the drivetrain stuff hooked up while I wait.
I can't wait to hear her run again
