Default MY EM1 TIMELINE/BUILD THREAD

pics of the car when i started messing with it




the good old 06 came along






last track event in 06. heres a lil vid and pics


ff greg getting pasted up haha



then in 07 i got a lil to busy with a new job and didnt do much late 07 on the other hand got lil interesting.






after a long battle with the insurance company and debating on keeping the car i decided to just build the track car of my dreams. so my built began. removed all the interior, tar and most of the wiring to send the car off to Mr. louie at Lcon




the car at lcon big ups to louie *hug*







car came home and started to pull out the motor.





some pics of the car out of the garage(lastest pics)






this past weekend i swaped my 5 lug on with the help of mr hugo2go. i sill need to finish removing a few things for paint but my paint guy still needs a month before he can take the car so it will be a lil slow from this point on. ill post new pics up soon. :bang:

updates.





updates 2

so she finally found her new home for the next couple of months i took some shots of her since i was delivering all my bumpers and stuff.











and the only man i would trust with my paint job. known this cat for almost 5 years really legit dude.. cant say anything bad about him.. my homie aude


if you are the owner of this dc2 hit me up if you want me to take the pic down

i think most em1 owners will think the same way you do. but i disagree not using my car the way i want to is a waste.

how much is he charging for the paint job? Ive been thinking of repaiting my em1 again.

btw...im on the same page with you about converting my em1 to a track car and still be able to drive it around town, but im still on the beginning stages of mine.

good luck and hoping to see the finished product

he told me around 3500. mostly due to the cage and the work that will go into spraying it.

Don't think so. The OP is posting the build of his car, nothing wrong with that. His tech is that he's showing the progress in building his for for his needs, thats the whole point!

The appearance section is for just some snap shots of somebody's ride, it doesn't even have to have any info.


OP, although i'm sure it was hard for you to decide on what to do with your car after the fire, it looks like you are going to make the most of the situation

I'm not trying to start an argument on whose perception is correct. I was making a suggestion so your thread doesn't get pushed which with all the kids wondering whey VTEC doesn't work, Hi I'm new, or other new guy threads it will in time.
