Re: Personal EK Budget Ballin' Build Thread ** Future Honda Challenge **
idk about california, but here in rhode island. all vehicles that are older than 10 years don't even have titles anymore. all you need to register it is a copy of a previous registration and a bill of sale from the previous registered owner. its easy enough to get a copy of the registration from the dmv, then you can either find the person, or you can make the bill of sale yourself. unless you buy the car from a junkyard, where they will give you the papers you need.

Re: Personal EK Budget Ballin' Build Thread ** Future Honda Challenge **
If your making it into an autox car you might have left the heater/ac. What about when you race in the cold with fogged windshield and you cant move confortably cuz of the cold and cant see the road.
Im jealous dude of how you can just buy $1200 rims and thats for a car that doesnt even run.
