Basically. But then again, I have 0 problems with people calling my fake bumper out, theres a lot more to look at. Other than just the bumper.

Well been holding back on the thread cause we've been waiting on the Wire-Worx harness, it was missing the Milspec plug, but they said it would be done this week so hopefully Ill have some updates by Friday. Also going to pick up my K-Tuned Race Spec Shifter Cables and Shifter Box today. Another step closer

You don't see work like that done around here in Canada. With our 15 year old import law, I can buy a full Honda Integea Type R as it came from factory with next to nothing for clicks for under 10 grand this year

If it was that easy here in the US id gladly go for that lol, but with the 25yr law and all the only Dc5r Ive seen for sale is an 01 and they want 20k for it. So naahh haha Id rather build my own for that.

Paired a Skunk2 Mega Power RR to my Skunk2 Alpha Header. And installed engine harness. The start up date is close!!









Since we had to remove the dash, took a pic of the ac boxes cause in this Fl weather you need ac. Lol

Nice build so far, even though I don't get the RHD thing. Glad to see you're over the whole stance silliness. One question though, you're planning on daily'ing this thing in FL, with no wipers?

Deff not daily, itll be mostly a show car, maybe a few saturday night cruises. But Ill make sure I soak the winshield with Rainex just in case I get caught in unexpected rain.

Right on. Good to see a nice Orlando build. The area is too littered with poo-mobiles!

What are your plans for the K24? were you going to build it for boost right off the bat? Or make it a K20/K24 itr hybrid until boost time?
Sweet build btw!

As of now itll be full k24a2, with mild modifications, i.e. Oil pump, springs, retainers, etc. I do plan on building a k20/24 set up for boost down the road. This will do fine for now, since I want to bring the car out finally. Its been over a year.

Well shes gone to the body shop. Wait time is said to be between 4 or 5 weeks, so lets see when we get her back. Stay tuned!


Sorry for the horrible quality. I have no clue what happened there lol
