Re: Brobo's Em2 Build!

That's a pretty old car, unless it's never seen a winter, it's gonna need a LOT of work to get it looking fresh, especially compared to a car that's 8 years newer.

ay man, I mean you’re already doing so much work why don’t you put a better engine in there. For example you can put a k24 motor in, slaps perfectly no modifications, put a k20a2 head with a Acura tsx 6 speed tranny and you got 300-350 easy and more if you put a supercharger, just saying man you already putting in work why not put something that will make it a little more worth it good luck man
