A few months back I got my 92 GSR back on the road after it sat for almost 2 years while I built the motor for it. After a month and 1100 miles of driving it I got t-boned by an old couple in an intersection, my car was totaled. I had to fight with there insurance to get money to replace my car and still got a horrible settlement considering the money time and labor I had into the car, I had almost $5k in recepts from just my engine build and I didn't even get close to that much back. But I didn't let that deter me, a few weeks ago I picked up a 93 RS in kinda rough shape but rust free and a pretty clean body. Now I'm in the process of stripping the RS and preping it for paint, the car was originally an auto and the previous owner did kind of a hack job turning it to 5-speed. After it comes back from paint all the parts out of my old GSR are going into this car. Now on with the pics:


DA before the accident:




The motor build for it:
GSR block
CTR .25 pistons
ITR crank and rods
Brand new ITR head and cams
ITR intake manifold + TB
ALL factory OEM Honda seals, bearings, gaskets, everything, no junk.
Thermal 2.5 catback
test pipe
AEM SRI
340 Prelude injectors
STOCK exhaust manifold (didnt have a header before it was wrecked)
Made 181whp on CROME (turbogixxer tuned )








FINALLY in for the 2nd time after waiting 2 years (Rod knock first time it went in, 2 years of BS from the machine shop, don't mind the ugly *** valve cover):



1 month later :









And my new DA the way it sat when I picked it up:


Stripped:




Enough parts to build 2 cars, can't wait to get it in and get my garage back:



My 5 speed conversion, I had before pics but the tunnel was hacked to **** I did my best to get the metal back where it is supposed to be and I cut another tunnel out of a junkyard car to make a plug for the oval hole and the peice the shifter comes thru and the boot goes on:



UPDATE 5/8/07

Just more eye candy mostly...

The car all stripped and pressure cleaned:







Just an idea of how nice and rust free it is (I used to live in the rustbelt this means alot to me )



All loaded up and off to paint:



One of the many picutures I took to make sure the right bolts fo back in the right places, boarderline obsesive compulsive probably

I am not going to spill the beans on the car, but he has things planned that you do not see.

He will post it up

 

This is gonna be good.

Because of this guy (and turbogixxer dammit) i ended up modding my beater DA that i said i wasnt gonna touch....well that and DA's are badass little cars.

 

I'm in for the final product. Keep us updated on the build. Can't wait to see this thing.
