^^^First you need to do everything you can to prevent another one of your hondas gettin jacked.

It still got the B16 I assume?

If your gonna leave the B16 in there, I would say go boost.

The em1 is a really nice car, but it weighs over 2700ibs. 2700ibs is really tough to overcome in a N/A car, especially with the B16's lack of torque at initial acceleration.

Your car's beautiful man. I say NA of course, but if you want 1.8L or 2.0L you're just a block away. That's what's so awesome about the EM1. You can buy a B20Z block by itself, build it, and the rest is self explanatory. What coilovers are those, curious? Nevertheless, I think you should go big with NA.

nice car - I really like those rims. First mods should be 4 boots, >9000 killswitches, hood cable relocate, removable ecu, lojack, a pager, and a locked garage with a moat in Idaho. Then boost.

That would be str8, as long as you don't waste your money on b16b swap.

Your thinkin about the b18c5 right?

Or you talking about a K20a Type R? Cause that would be really cool.

Not to be mean, but I wonder how long it will be before you will be back here saying "MY CAR WAS STOLEN!"

I don't think I'd keep an EM1 even if it was given to me for free.

That's scary. I personally would NEVER go ANYTHING with an EM1 shell. No matter what's inside the engine bay, they will still attempt to steal the car. Any money you put into an EM1 become someone elses, with enough time.
