Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
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

welcome to the forum man, as far as your slight predicument my advice would be to keep the hatch and save up some cash to build your bike on the side, there aint none wrong with waiting a little while to get your project off the ground that way when you finally get it to your specs it has way more sentimental value, keep us updated on your choice man, later
