I just started to work on my brothers DA cause the weather is getting warmer
Winter sucks and i hate spending gas on garage heater.

I'm always jelly of guys who can work on their cars outdoors and just pull a tarp over it. hehe

Thanks guys! It's coming along. Got a new shortblock for it too. More updates soon. The mani isn't stepped, it's got a badge on the one runner, that might be what your seeing.

Got another valve cover that I am going to paint and slap on there. Other than that, for now it is about where I want it to be. It's not pretty, it's not a showcar, but I think it is more fun that way.

Got those custom cooling holes in that show quality front bumper too.

Nope!!! Only reason some of that is missing is because it was all cracked up when I got the car. If the IAT's start creeping up at any point then I might consider hacking on the bumper some more.

13173 your car is begging for some sort of hood intake for that turbo…. although that might infringe on the snaggletoothness

SC34DX- whats the turbo setup? looks like a beast!

Here is the cool thing. You do not even notice those holes unless you get down and really look. I parked the car in the middle of a car show a couple weeks ago. It was surrounded by other Hondas and mini trucks. I watched people walk past it and have to do a double take, which was cool. I wanted the car to be subtle and surprisingly it still is. The only unsubtle part to it right now is the fact that I still had to cut a hole in the hood for the valvecover and how it sounds once it is running.

I rescued an EF from a field behind someone's house. The car had been sitting for at least 8 years, maybe longer. It has no rust in the body, which is cool and the only reason I went forward with the build. I never intended to make the car look really good and from all the reaction I have gotten for it everyone says it looks exactly how it should look. Which is a compliment to me.

Hi, I'm new to the site. Firstly I realise I'm on the wrong thread but I'm having trouble finding the right thread. I'd be very very grateful if somebody could send me a link or point me in the right direction.

Basically I'm having some problems with my eg civic esi with B18c4 conversion. Thanks in advance fellow Honda enthusiasts. Jay

Lol the wheels turn lock to lock and dont rub on anything. The picture is before i cut the fenders 4" and added a liner to get rid of the sharp edge. I can jack the passenger or driver rear while the front is turned on the lock and it doesnt even come close to hitting.
