well actually that picture is from when i was real confused as to if the mount bolted to the trans case or to the body, since it is my first honda after all haha

and yeah i wasnt happy when i picked up the tranny and it had no vin tag, i didnt really bother to ask tho. i knew where the guy worked so if it wasnt a gsr i could go back, ut luckily i dont have to worry about tags out here like you guys do. i checked the tooth count and its a real gsr so i let it go.</TD></TR></TABLE>

actually you do. seeing as you may be from far upstate, you may not at this point but NY does have a strict Autocrime division if you're ever south of Nyack/Rockland you might bump into them. they CAN and will take your car for a missing vin tag until you can prove its legit or they take it out themselves.

so if i were you, at the very least, get a new casing with paperwork and swap all your parts into it. trust me

back to the thread, car looks excellent, work top shelf, parts top shelf and help from dad gets

yeah i know about the autocrimes stuff, but where i am it is no issue. (im an hour and a half north of the city) the closest i will ever come to the city and the autocrimes area with this car is spring valley, and thats rare. i dont go down there for that exact reason tho...theft so high they have a division for it!

i may try and find a case, but its on the back burner for now.

we'll see...like i think i mentioned earlier, the anr is basically an early rmf narrow which are known to make power. its a step up from my itr 4-1, and if it doesnt make the power ill sell it and move on...it was too cheap to pass up and...well..it does look cool.

and my dad doesnt know about swapping motors, i taught him all he knows and told him what to do haha. but he atleast knows his stuff on basic car work.

I think you are going to need bigger cams to get into 200WHP. If anything you will be in the area.

UPDATE: nothing major tho...

ignore how scratched and nasty my bumper is...i ripped my lip off 2 days before i parked the car for the winter.

i got bored as hell tonight after nursing a hangover all day, and decided to mess around with my bumper.

moved my plate bracket so it will hide my header a little better


and you can see i glued in my oem bumper plugs, and you can see where the po drilled holes to mount the license plate since the stock racket things were destroyed


and started a little grill prject too, should have it done tomorrow. i decided i really dont like ctr grills, and i see them everywhere so im trying something a little different.
