timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
soo basically this is how it goes from my 18 inch rims to blowing my motor timeline, hope you like it 
when i got the car i found some rims that i liked at the time but the ride in them was honestly like taking a ride down a rocky road, i felt every bump and i hated it aha
i dont know what got into me but i decided to buy underglows, big mistake. i sold them about a week later
i had these lips on but it didnt really go with the car imo then i moved on to the Aero kit from honda, but the front lip didnt have places for fogs so i moulded them in
old vs new
sooo we decide to go for a drive one night and next thing i know im picking up my new engine because my poped from my 3rd gear burnout, i knowww it was stupid of me
i picked up a D15B Jspec engine and got a bunch of goodies for it like stage two clutch and headders and such
and this is now how she sits
sooo thats it, let me know what you think

i like it, the fogs are a little weird, but i like how you're probably the only person to have done that with the 01-03 aero kit. good job

Very unique, and pretty clean. SOmething about the front lip is just bugging me... I think it would look pretty sick if it was molded to the front bumper as well.

it was wet thats how i managed to get to third gear
and triz i was thinking about moulding the lip to the bumper but then it would kinda look like a body kit type style and i didnt want that look

so i snaped my drive shaft with my d15b? possible? i didnt think so ahah
ill post pics tomorrow morning
andd when i put this motor in i added headders and a full exhaust and with vtec it feels like alot more power than my d17, all japanese engines have more power than the usdm ones thats why the gsrs and b16s can handle so much boost, they are just built better
im looking to go k20a2 next year the jspec engine, how much work am i looking at? some guy in my area told me i need a new subframe (from an rsx) so that the mounts will line up?
any help is thanked
