UA5 Daily Driven Build
 
So I wrote a reintroduction in the introduce yourself section. So I won't tell that story again, but here is a summary of how we got here. I bought my first Honda in 2010 1993 EG8. After moving from Tennessee back to Virginia. Bought a LS Swap then turbo kit then in 2012 my 3month trip to Cali turned into me living there. So I sold the car and all things Honda that went with it. From 2012 to now I've just been working and keeping a eye out for a Em1, DB8, or EJ6. Didn't end up getting of though because of a deal I could not pass up. Truth be told all I wanted was a Honda product with a manual transmission.

The car I bought was my good friends car, he asked me did I want it because he going to give to cash for cars or a junk yard. He told me it needs a water pump, and a junk yard wouldn't give him but $400 for it and he rather see it go to me so if I want it, let him know. This was all a surprise to me because I thought he traded the car when he got his New Car. I told him hell yeah I want it, me and him have worked together for to years since then I had helped him put in HID, do a oil change, and knew what condition the car was in. Then he told me give him $300 and it's mine. Needless to say it was nothing to think about there are Honda shells going for no less then $500 and I drove this car home:) so I know there isn't anything really wrong with the car. So I'm back in the game, and honestly this was the best $300 I've ever spent.

This will be made into a fun daily, I will be making this car my own. No real theme to this project, I'm just going with what I like. I will tell you this though, 6speed coming soon! Sorry I have to do it!


The day I bought the car. A little dirty but car is in exterior is in great shape for its age. Some dents, dings and scratches here and there.

That's a damn shame...lol I only paid $300. Yeah I don't like autos either which is why I'm going to make it a manual.
