So, do I count? I haven't turned the wrech, but I got this car as a complete bone stock shell, meaning that everything on it my wish:

Some what of a time line















Removed this perfectly running H22A4


for this - cause it revs higher




So yeah.

Parts:

Originally H22A4+M2Y4 and axles.

Parts that have been purchased since then, and will be on car once I get it back:

RHD Clip
JDM mirror glass (convex so you can see)
RHD dioor switches

Accord F20B SiR-T emblem
Mugen style pedal (without the fake logo)
Type R shift boot
extra hood with rare JDM hood spoiler

Refuse to remove AC, power steering, or tuck a god damn thing.

--

IMO, bought is if you buy something like THIS:

Personally I don't want a car like this to be garage built. That was fine for my EG, but the Prelude needs to be professional. None of the clicks, clanks, pops, ect, ect, of the usual garage built Honda.

But it's all good.

Okay let's clear things up.

When I started this thread it was for those who put work into their car rather than buying a car thats already modded. Built not bought! Bone stock to as is done by you getting your hands dirty!

I understand that something you can't do yourself which is understandable. IE: rebuilding a motor because lack of PROPER tools and knowledge but suspension work, dropping a motor in, replacing a clutch/tranny... Doable.

Not trying to hate on anyone or put anyone down but built not bought means you put work into your car.

You like to hit men with your big wrench eh?
I'm just 100% sure you havent done everything to your car.. Did you build the frame?.. Did you draw the blueprints?. Did you assemble the car piece by piece? Technically from the way your saying it and according to your logic.. Your car is bought...
So stop criticizing other people.
