BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
Jdm_si_eg6: don't worry I understand people wants to put in their 2cents
Ef9vsda9: please stop.
Dumada9: yes i was there for the engine swap. I was there when the tranny fell.
Built not bought means you put work into your car. Leave this argument at that please.

I wanna take a wild guess here that the 2-3 kids arguing over dumb **** are probably between the ages of 18 and 22 years old. Am I right?

this is a bad *** thread! I don't i have any pics
(new laptop)...i guess mine is half and half, half built, half bought, but I was 18 and was just getting into the game, BUT, no help from mom or dad as far as $$...
I BOUGHT:
95 eg
gsr swap
2 1/4" Thermal Exhaust
skunk2 coils/white illuminas
roll cage...
I BUILT:
ITR cams/S2 cam gears
S2 Pro series IM
Mugen knock off header
2 1/2" to 2 1/4" test pipe, later added butterfly exhaust dump
ebay camber kit
walbro 255 fuel pump
zex nitrous kit fully tucked and hidden
15" black Rota slips
Fast Brakes 11" kit/SS lines
EF master cylinder
B&M fuel pressure gauge
Energy motor mount inserts/new oemhonda lower mounts
complete new steering rack/tie rods
2 front Corbeu seats and new sony head unit (thanks baby!)
3 alternators (lol)
175xxx on chassis and 150xxx on motor, still pulls like a beast!
I think thats it, sold the roll cage to pay for the rims.... So guys, I've been wanting to build a chopper/bobber for a long time and I'm getting married in a year and want to purchase a truck next year... Should I keep the honda and rebuild (oem) the motor and boost (which would take another 2+ years)? Or sell the honda and build my bike next year? I need some help! haha

It has a lot to do with it. Most older people are much more mature. Younger kids bitch and complain because they are ignorant. There are some who don't but most do. You feel you have something to prove by getting the last word in or whatever it is. You've proved my point already it's cool just drop it before you look like more of a fool.
DKYamada- Your green dc is freakin' hot. "The model isn't to bad either" I can't wait to get mine back from paint. I'm doing that olive green from the 3kgt I posted. Thinking of a metallic purple for my wheel color or black chrome. I just ordered some tcs f1 mirrors tonight also. My carbon spoon style ones came today but the quality is crap. It's a carbon cover over the mirrors held on with double sided tape. Failed to mention that in the auction but they were cool and sent me a prepaid return label and a full refund.

I'm liking this... I'm down
I'll keep it short and sweet, long version in my build thread lol
My names Steven, I'm 19, and work full time to build what I have. Had a '93 LS swapped del Sol (didn't do the swap) but had an accident, bought my '92 Harvard Blue Pearl DX hatch bone stock auto. Blew the b7 up before I could get it tagged (headgasket) swapped in my LS swap and ys1 b16 tranny, suspension, wheels, odds and ends from my old del Sol, sold the del Sol shell. Had to get tranny rebuilt due to bad syncros (carbon syncros, GSR 5th ect ) Hit a deer with the hatch, rocked black front end for a while, got it painted, now today car looks great but now the LS spun a rod bearing.
Oh well, in progress of building a "mild" high compression camm'ed all motor LS. I'll post the specs up soon.
Spec's on car now, prob forgeting things... its 2am
:
LS swap
Hytech rep. header
2.5 catback with Tanabe Muffler with testpipe
XS Power intake mani (old school ftw lol)
b16 ys1 tranny, 4.7 final drive, LSD built by Dynamic Performance
Goldline springs (nothing special)
GSR blades with 205/50s
duckbill
SiR lip
Si cluster
thin side moldings
Vision rep. corners
8k HID's
From this:

To this:

Then this:

And now:

Motor build is being done by me besides machine work stuff... I'll post progress/specs.

Yeah got to go to court on sept 7,hopefully the officer doesn't show up.So I can get it dismissed,I really don't wanna pay $287 dollars of my hard earned money.I also changed my insurance policy,so I only pay 30-40 bucks for full coverage a month.
the db and delsol are qwkdb8's and the EL is igotahonda. thats why they're so low lol.
one day i'll be on their level once my funds are in place lol.
thanks, i really want foglights and a b pillar bar. but ah, my wallets gunna take a hit!

Aaigght I do have to put in my 2 cents on this.
People don't know WHY others do what they do. And as far as having others do my work, simple. I had big plans for the car, that are coming to fruition.
The EG hatch next to it, I helped a buddy do everything to it years ago, before I bought it off him. Hell, some parts were from my old EJ1. But, that car wasn't bought as a project, nor to mod farther.
I also do the maintenance of my Mazda 626.
The Prelude was bought because it was a shell, and not touched. Regardless, there is a difference in the finish of a car that you pay to build VS one that is put together in a driveway, and it shows.
I bought a car completely built before however:

And part of these reason for this Prelude build, is to best that car. Stuff happened when I had that car, and I want one from scratch that is better.
Peace.

Okay that's fair that you got your 2cents in. No one here is saying you don't put work into your cars. Built not bought in here means you put work into your car with your own hands and with that said your prelude doesn't belong in this thread. Not trying to be a dick or hate on your car. If you have any further question please pm me. Thanks.
Dkyamada: I was gonna ask if that was qwk_db8 car.
