any do-it-yourself-ers around lower mainland wanna help-lsvtec swap!

Hey guys, i have recently gathered all the parts to build an LsVtec for my integra.

I was wondering if there were any DIYers out there who maybe wanna meet up and give me a hand. Unfortunately I have almost no knowledge in building engines. I have tools but I dont have a garage =\

this would definitely be a little bit of a commitment and would greatly appreciate anyones help. I would also not mind hooking you up if you want. Any parts left over, cash, food, beer. I could always pay a few hundred bucks to go to ashop and get it done, but would really enjoy the learning experience.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I am not interested in getting this job done, I am interested in learning how all the parts of the engine work, and getting something out of it.

Ideally it would be great if 3 or something members just said 'yeah lets do it' and we all just worked on it for a day or two. Id like to avoid getting pointed towards a reputable shop or someone who can do it by themselves without my help (not sure if I can offer any, but still want to be present =p )

thanks guys! revscene has been a great source of info!

anyone have any ideas please text me! 604 723 0562

im not asking for anyone to do it all for me

sorry if i wasnt clear, im looking for someone to help me or aid me, and i will give them whatever they ask for. as long as they dont ask more than a shop would.
