My Build Thread- Turboed EM2
I thought I would finally post one of these.
I have an 2002 Civic LX Coupe. 5spd. It has been a money pit since the start. I have replaced just about everything. I am on my second transmission and I think it's going to **** the bed again. Crazy whirling noise but goes away when i push the clutch in. First motor overheated so I swapped that out and got another motor. I have ARP Headstuds, new headgasket and WP and new clutch. I have 233K miles =D and still owe 3 grand on the car, UGH. Car has been repainted at Macco, It came out okay but its all rusting at windshield/ quarter panel window.
Car is being repainted and all body work done in about a week or two. I also have a Nitrous kit I may use for looks since i can't seem to sell it prob going to get a purge kit or something.
But yeah I drove this car about 33K miles boosted no problems yet. Yes I do beat the **** out of it and yeah still no problems YET. I drove it to Miami about 3 weeks ago for a big accord meet and really beat the crap out of it yet it's running great. Minus the transmission issue.
But yeah

yeah the engine bay isn't pretty by any means. I will snap some pictures in the next coupe days or find some I already took.
the piping to me is very small so idk. I have videos i just have to upload them =D
I love the SI exhaust, Stock looking with a kick and sounds decent cant even hear it really.
