Default my first car project, 99 si

A While back my dad got this si for a company car and set it up for the track, after a few years he decided to get a mini cooper and set that up for the track so the si just sat at his company and was driven by his boss who beat the hell out of it but now i've taken it for free the engine runs great i'm taking out the suspension and putting all new stuff in it i have already ordered all the parts and then im planning to do some body work, i'm new to Honda-tech so i figured i would just make this thread. Tell me what ya think.

Yeah right now i have no money for that but hopefully i will in the future, right now i don't think anyones going to take it, it's up on jacks and the entire rear suspension is out. But you never know.

Nice, Great set up. I would go with the same setup if I had the money to swap my junk out.

Yeah i'm prob going to sell the old set of koni yellows for mad cheap because there so worn and a couple extra bucks wouldn't hurt if i am able to get it, but i always wanted a 99 si and i got it for free so i have plenty of money to fix it up, needs alot of body work too but that comes last.

What kind of body work are you going to do? It looks pretty straight.

I've always had a thing for a red '99 Si, leave that sexy body alone! Put your money where it counts, which it sounds like what you're doing, racing parts will never go out of fashion.



SEE? SEXY.

Guarantee you will fall in love with it. I fully built my first EM1 (99 EBP) N/A now I just picked up a second one with a sleeved/built block and head just gonna finish here up with a custom snail kit. Keep us up to date on what you do man. She looks good. Still can't believe you got it for free.
