Looks alright, I don't see the point in choppin' up a hatch though.

i think it's pretty innovative, but not my style. this should be in the App/Cos forum though.

Just got really tired of seeing the same setup everywhere i went. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of clean EG6's out there, but I just got tired of it.
So I decided to go off the wall for something totally different. B16A is the next step

you are doing a swap in a car that you can't even lock? that might be a waste of money.

I really think this would have turned out much better had the car originally been a coupe instead of a hatch.

Dude...


...pink?


I can't get past that. It might look cool, but that pink just completely stops me.

I would seriously rattle can it if I couldn't have it painted.

That's a stock Honda color. Milano Red. Looks like the photos were taken on a cloudy day and the paint is probably not in the best shape. That can make it appear pink. Even my rich, glossy red paint looks pink in my shitty first photos.

Wow... I guess it's just the first time I've ever seen one turn out like that. None of the pictures of my S2000 came out like that, thank god. LOL...

well it certainly is convertible. looks like a geo to me. are you gonna fill in the top of the quarter? how bad does it flex when you hit a bump? convertable cars have ALOT of reinforcement, and still flex.

i give you props on something original, but you did all that work and going to put a b16 in it?

Why not something impressive under the hood?

The S2000 never came in Milano Red either. Milano Red is a tricoat and has a tendency to sort of shift color. By that I mean that sometimes the paint can look orange, sometimes pinkish, sometimes purplish.

If you have a bad camera and bad lighting your S2000 wouldn't look so hot either.

by shift you mean it has a tinted clear and it fades into pink. You make it sound like it's chameleon paint
