a fully built ls on high boost could easily get you over 500 whp, but unless you plan to track this car theres no real point to over 300 hp in a fwd car

subscribed....it already looks much better all torn apart. what color are you painting it?

thurmondauto

Thats what I am saying looks better with 3 different colors, and holes all in it, then with that wide-body kit!!

Well, paint will probably last, but before the swap, I will prime it black and ride like that for a while. I am thinking a red color, though!

Update

So I am going out of town for a week, and I doubt I will find a computer
I did not get around to cleaning the head today, but my gf's step-dad and I built shelves in the garage, and are building a workbench tomorrow. So I am still happy seeing how I have been practically living in the garage. We need the extra space, and with the up-coming wire tuck yes, wire tuck "minor" the work bench will be great!

I will be gone for abot a week, so here is a list of parts, and plans for when I get back , any comments, or info would be great. I am also looking for some coilovers, cheap ones of course.

Exterior

of course, body work is first, I got lucky and I have a family friend that is going to do it super cheap.
We have to grind, and weld all of the pop rivet holes, fix the driver-side quarter panel damage, shave the side moldings, and prime everything black.

• I still have to order some Ctr headlights, and the Ctr grille.
  
• Then its on to lips.
• Type-r lips all the way around See the pattern
  
• Then on to fog lights.

Suspension

• I have a warped lower control arm, so I am going to replace those with either megan racing, or blox.
• Go with asr brace, and undecided sway bar.
• 3- point strut bar for the engine bay, and strut bar for the trunk
• 4- point roll cage, done by a local shop

Interior

• I dont know how many people have done this, but I cannot stand the gray interior, I want to black out all of the interior peices (any advice/ideas)
• gsr seats wrapped in black leather (maybe red stitching??)
• back seats wrapped in black leather (maybe red stitching??)
• type-r shift boot, ****, and steering wheel

There is alot more I am keeping out but this is it for know

Thanks for reading !!

If only Honda Corp knew that there were people restoring a car that costs 18k 10-13 years ago they would just start making the same model again, that be kind of cool to see..
