Rep Power: 232 my project for 2007
ive built a few different hondas over the years and i finally came across a car ive been waiting for. its a little rough right now, but hopefully after about a year and 20 grand or so she'll be shinin like a new penny. heres a few pics of her. the last pic will show what happens when you back your em2 into a mazda b2000 while youre drunk. mind you i just got the car out of the paint shop a month ago gettin a new rear bumper and paint work because someone rearended me.

Rep Power: 364 You def shouldnt be driving when your drunk... you didnt buy that car when your were drunk did you? ha.. nah, I like the dented panels and the foot prints on your hood.
Nah though, i'm sure you'll clean it up real nice. Hopefully do a custom interior kuz that looks like ****... I see potential. What plans you got in store for it?

Rep Power: 232 boosted poor mans type r for power. youre supposed to build it with a b18c1 block, but im going to attempt it with the b18a1 ive got since i have two blocks. will have .20 over p73 pistons, type r rotating assembly, probably a gsr head but i havent decided on the head yet. wet nitrous kit, skunk2 chipped p28, hasport mounts, fully stripped interior, full cage, and a few other goodies for starters. i might ditch the b series later down the road for a stroked h22. ive got an h22a1, 2 h22a4's, and an h23 laying around im going to experiment with.

Rep Power: 232 i meant poor mans type r, not type 5. just saw my typo. i fixed it. but yes, its going to be a task. i currently have about 15 hondas and probably 20 motors and trannies. i just love building cars. if i see a junk honda with potential, i buy it. sort of a problem i have. but i saw this one wedged up against a light pole in a scrap heap and had to have it. i only paid 400 for it so i think i got a good deal. the hood on it doesnt even fit. i pulled it out of the scrap pile and the holes lined up so i slapped it on. i think its from an ej or something. but im married now and its time to scale back my projects. im only going to build one at a time so im going to start parting my honda collection. stay tuned cause i have an ep3 ill be parting as soon as i finish the em2 im doing now.

Rep Power: 232 im just hoping it doesnt keep getting worse. every time i look at it i find little stuff missing. it will be stripped to bare chassis and 99% of the car will be replaced, but if it isnt there to begin with im kinda in the dark.

Rep Power: 296 wow...i thought my integ was a project. You must really love working on cars. That looks like a huge project. Keep us updated with pics as you go. The car has a lot of potential. if your going boost you can keep the ls head.
but i suggest saving for a hondata s300 and skipping the skunk2 chip. I have a mugen chip, it makes the car fast but it also makes the car run rich as hell. The great thing about DA's is there pretty light compared to a dc2. Good luck

Rep Power: 232 i dont even think im going to register mine. im gonna build it for 99% drag. the other 1% will be illegal time on the street. i dont think it will ever pass emissions turbo'd. you got any gsr parts like a crank or anything you want to get rid of. i dont have much b series stuff.
